    Why choose us for pet insurance?

    Here's why expat pet owners in Spain trust us with their furry friends

    Tailored to expat pet owners

    We specialise in expats in Spain, so we know the typical vet costs, common conditions and the best insurers for foreign pet owners.

    Clear, English-speaking guidance

    No more guessing in Spanish. We explain your options in plain English and help you understand exactly what is and isn't covered.

    Compare several insurers, not just one

    We're a broker, not a single insurer. That means we can compare multiple pet insurance policies and recommend the one that fits your pet and budget best.

    Support when your pet really needs it

    When something goes wrong, you're not alone. We help you prepare documents, talk to the insurer and follow up on your claim.

    Honest advice, not pushy sales

    If we think a basic plan is enough, we'll tell you. The goal is the right cover for your pet, not the most expensive policy.

    Simple, digital-first process

    Share your details online or via WhatsApp, sign documents digitally and manage everything without having to visit an office.

    Getting pet insurance for our rescue dog was so easy. The team explained everything in English and helped us find a plan that covered exactly what we needed.

    When our cat needed emergency surgery, they walked us through the whole claims process. We got reimbursed quickly and without any hassle.

    Tom R.

    Barcelona

    Really helpful service. They compared several insurers for us and found one that accepted our dog's pre-existing condition from the UK.

    Emma K.

    Valencia

    Great support throughout the process. The only minor issue was a slight delay in getting the policy documents, but overall very satisfied.
