With Protectapet you are not restricted to when you cancel, nor are you penalised for doing so. If you are not with Protectapet you may have to pay your insurance company an admin fee to cancel and check to see if they will pay you a pro rata refund. Protectapet offer a full money back guarantee on all our policies, allow you to cancel at any time and if you have not made a claim, offer a full pro-rata refund.
Protectapet won't charge you anything to cancel any of your policies, and will offer a pro-rata refund if you have not made a claim during that policy year. Other pet insurance companies are likely to charge you an admin fee and may also not be prepared to offer a pro-rata refund.
Your Pet Insurance Company may charge you a small administration fee to cover the paperwork involved with the cancellation of a.n. other pet insurance policy. After the initial 14/21/or 30 days has elapsed, depending on what their terms and conditions are, you can usually still cancel your policy at any time but you won't receive a refund for any premiums you have paid for your pet insurance policy up until the date of cancelling.
The majority of complaints from pet insurance customers are that Pet insurance companies increase prices for their pet insurance every year, and if you have a claim during that year, your renewal prmium can go up by more than 20% depending on the breed and age of your cat or dog.
If your pet has been insured from year one and you have several claims over the years, the renewal premium penalties can seriously increase your premiums. protectapet are the only Company to offer FIXED PREMIUMS FOR LIFE , regardless of the number of claims you might make and the breed and age of your pet is not taken into account. You do not have any renewal premium increases or claim penalties at renewal. As some pets can live over 20 years, you can imagine the savings you make over time.
Some Pet Plan companies offer a product called pet lifetime policies, but that is just another way of saying that they won't cancel your policy because of the number of claims you make but will continue to cover an illness as long as you keep renewing the policy and accept that the premiums will continue to go up each year. The best way to check this is to compare your quote and cover for a lesser breed with different companies. They love pedigrees, as they can use the pretext of a pedigree to hike up your premiums.
Changing your pet insurance to A protectapet Healthcare policy couldn’t be easier….
We at protectapet offer fixed premiums for life and insure dogs and cats of any breed and any age.
Any pets over the age of 8 weeks old are accepted and there are no premium penalties for Pets joining later in life. Most, if not all other pet Insurance companies in Spain and Gibraltar have an age restriction on pets, usually to a maximum age of 9 years old.
Protectapet Healthcare Plans offer you the ¨fixed premiums for life¨ option. Protectapet guarantee that once you have a policy for one of your pets the premium will never go up regardless of the number of claims made.
Our main concern is your pet. We consider it essential that you do what you feel necessary to protect your pet and keep it in good health. When your pet becomes ill you will want to complete whatever treatment your Vet recommends.
We never want to see a pet Euthanized due to economic reasons. We are trying to improve animal husbandry in Spain and with this objective we hope that no pets or animals will ever be put to sleep because the injuries or treatments are unaffordable.

Yes, if you are with another Pet Insurance company you should make sure you cancel your existing insurance policy before taking our a pet healthcare plan with Protectapet.
If your exisiting company is going to charge you an admin fee to cancel your policy because you would like to switch to Protectapet, please contact us and let us know. Depending on the amount of the admin fee, we may well be able to refund that to you because you are switching to one of our Protectapet pet Healthcare Plans!
If you are paying your Pet Insurance Company by direct debit, make sure that the bank are aware of the cancellation and that it has been deactivated.
Pet insurance companies do not encourage people to have two policies for the same pet at the same time.
Pet insurers' policy documents often state that if they find you have two policies, they will refuse to pay a claim. So, if both Pet Insurance or Pet healthcare Companies discover this, you may not be able to claim on either.
Some pet owners choose to overlap policies when they are switching to make sure they have cover during the 21-day exclusion period of veterinarian cover on new pet healthcare plans.
If they do claim with their old Pet insurer during the overlap period their new company is likely to treat the issue that was claimed for as a pre-existing condition and may not cover it for the rest of the policy. If you are changing to a Protectapet Policy and we are aware that you are overlapping, to cover the 21 day interim period, Protectapet may cover you for a claim during that period.
Self-insuring your pet means saving a set amount of money to pay for potential vet bills. Of course you need to be disciplined and organised with this but it can be done!
However, with self-insurance, it’s really important to think about how much you can realistically afford to put aside and keep in a fund to protect your pet. this is because the risk of self-insuring is that you could run into veterinary costs that are higher than the amount you've saved, or that you expected to pay.
Please think! If your pet was involved in an accident, would you have enough to cope with expensive legal fees and the necessary medical treatments for your pet?
Protectapet healthcare plans and public liability insurance will cover it all. Third party liability claims can run into the 100's of thousands of Euros so as a minimum you should consider taking out a basic third party liability insurance. In most cases it costs less than €100 a year for up to €300,000 of cover. This is the minimum level required by law in most autonomous regions of Spain.
