When does dog insurance make sense?
Ideally, you should take out dog health insurance when your dog is still a puppy. After all, a dog can fall ill or have an accident at any time. The associated veterinary costs are usually very high. And the younger your four-legged friend is, the cheaper the annual insurance premium will be.
In addition, a dog can also cause damage to third parties, which can result in high claims for damages. Therefore, it is also worthwhile to take out dog liability insurance as early as possible.
Good to know: Dog liability insurance
Liability insurance for dogs is compulsory in most provinces of Austria. Only Burgenland, Carinthia and Vorarlberg are exceptions.
But is liability insurance for dogs really necessary? Yes! Dogs can quickly cause minor and even major damage to third parties. One moment of rough play and your dog has broken someone's glasses or mobile phone.
Property damage, even amounting to millions, can also happen quickly. For example, if your dog runs across the road and a car swerves to avoid it and crashes into the crash barrier. It is therefore worth taking out liability insurance just in case.
How much does dog insurance cost?
Allianz dog insurance costs between €206 and €616 per year. The premium depends on the age of the dog when the insurance is taken out, the package selected and the agreed total annual compensation limit. Costs for dog liability insurance may also be added.
