In Switzerland, there are around 1.9 million cats and over 550,000 dogs. They bring movement into everyday life, offer affection, and as loyal companions, protect against loneliness in old age. However, if the four-legged partner has an accident or falls ill, concern is great. Veterinary care in Switzerland is at an excellent level - but it can quickly become costly in serious cases. This is where Sanitas steps in. The new offering covers most of the veterinary costs and supports animal health holistically: from prevention, and complementary medicine, to top-tier medicine.
Award- winning Offer: Test Winner on the Comparison Portal bonus.ch
Two clear product lines are available, developed in close collaboration with veterinarians: 'Smart' offers comprehensive everyday protection with coverage of up to 10,000 francs per year. 'Premium' impresses as a top-quality all- round coverage with an expanded service range and a higher annual coverage limit of up to 20,000 francs. Both models comprehensively cover illnesses and accidents - including genetic and hereditary diseases. Coverage also includes dental treatments, hospital stays, medications, physiotherapy, as well as aids like prostheses and orthoses. The high quality of the new offering is already confirmed by independent parties: the comparison portal bonus.ch has awarded Sanitas pet insurance as the test winner in comparison with six Swiss market offers.
Full Coverage Even with Pre-existing Conditions
While pet owners often face performance reservations in the market in case of pre-existing conditions or genetic and hereditary diseases of their animals, Sanitas provides complete transparency from the outset. Michel Kull, Head of Pet Insurance, explains the principle: 'We conduct a standardized online health check in real time when concluding a contract. If the acceptance decision is positive, full coverage applies to the animal. Without ifs and buts. This prevents unpleasant surprises in serious cases.'
Digital, Fast, and Maximally Flexible
The product integrates seamlessly into Sanitas' digital service world: Conclusion is easy online but also available through personal advisory channels and distribution partners. Vet bills can be submitted via receipt upload. The cost reimbursement is usually processed within seven days. Should life circumstances change, a monthly right of termination ensures the necessary flexibility.
Reliable Support When It Counts
With the new offering, Sanitas meets a growing need and strengthens the bond with existing insured persons who benefit from extended coverage from a single source. 'By closing the gap in pet protection, we offer financial and emotional security from one source and underscore our promise to be there for our customers when it counts,' says Kaspar Trachsel, Chief Marketing Officer of Sanitas.
