What to compare before choosing
For Portugal, compare veterinary benefit caps, co-payments, waiting periods, age limits and hereditary conditions. Ask the provider whether the particular insurance category and underwriting terms are offered to residents of Portugal.
Look at the full premium after any introductory discount, the amount you contribute to a claim and the documents required for a successful claim. If you are an expat or nonresident, check the insurer’s eligibility rules before buying.
