Lohnt sich eine Tierversicherung?
Das hängt von der Höhe der Prämie und den angebotenen Leistungen ab. Ausserdem übernehmen die Versicherungen meist nur 80 bis 90 Prozent der Kosten. Vergleichen Sie daher die verschiedenen Angebote.
Eine Tierversicherung schützt Sie jedoch vor unerwarteten Behandlungskosten bei Krankheit oder Unfall Ihres Haustiers. Wie viel Sie in der Regel für ausserordentliche Behandlungen bezahlen, sehen Sie in dieser Übersicht:

Gut zu wissen: Die Veterinärmedizin hat fast schon das medizinische Niveau der Humanmedizin erreicht. Dementsprechend aufwendig und teuer kann eine Behandlung Ihres Hundes oder Ihrer Katze sein.
Frequently asked questions about pet insurance
You can usually take out insurance for your pet from the age of three months. The upper age limit varies by insurer. Is your pet over six years old? If so, you are advised to contact your insurer directly for more information.
The cost of pet insurance depends on a range of factors:
Type of animal
Breed: especially with dogs, for some insurers also with cats.
Age
For cats: does your pet stay inside or do they go outside?
Scope of cover
Deductible
Basic insurance for a cat starts at around 55 francs per year. The cheapest insurance for a dog costs at least 70 francs per year. Source: Comparis pet insurance comparison.
Less than 10% of Swiss pet owners insure their cat or dog. In comparison, the Swiss spend around 15 billion francs a year on property insurance.
Only a tiny percentage of this – around 0.1% – is spent on pet insurance. According to pet insurers, most pet owners don’t even know that insurance is available for their pet.
Pet insurance generally covers the cost of an accident or illness. It covers costs up to a contractually agreed maximum amount per accident/illness or per year.
The basic cover of most insurance policies includes the following benefits:
Cost of treatment
Diagnosis and therapy
Radiological examinations
Surgical operations
Cost of accommodation and food at the veterinary practice or clinic
Pharmaceutical products
Depending on the insurance policy, other services may be included. With supplemental insurance, you can insure even more costs. Under “Details of cover” in the insurance comparison tool, you’ll see what’s included and can compare it with other insurers.
Important: treatments for pre-existing conditions are not usually covered by pet insurance.
The Comparis comparison tool only includes insurance policies for cats and dogs. Other insurers may let you insure different types of animals. These include:
Birds
Horses
Cattle
Other farm animals
The cover differs depending on the insurer and policy you select. It’s therefore a good idea to compare different insurances.
Most insurers have a qualifying period. This means that for a certain period of time after concluding the contract, the insurer will not pay any damages.
Most pet insurers offer pet insurance as a separate policy. Some insurers, however, offer pet insurance as a supplement to home contents insurance.
Can you add your pet to your home contents insurance? It’s worth checking.
At Comparis, you can compare insurance policies from Animalia and Wau-Miau. You can request quotes through our brokerage partner, Optimatis.
