Why owners choose this cover

Pet cover that
actually pays out

Vet bills covered

Cover for accidents, illness, surgery and ongoing conditions — up to the annual limit. Pay the vet, claim the money back, no nightmare paperwork.

2

Third-party liability

EUR 1M cover if your dog causes an accident, injures someone, or damages property — the bit a lot of pet owners forget exists until they need it.

3

EU + UK travel cover

Overseas cover for trips to the UK or anywhere in the EU (subject to EU pet passport / UK Animal Health Certificate). Same vet bill cover, anywhere in the cover area.

Pet Insurance Cover Details

Greece exclusive

Pet insurance for
expat households in Greece

Greek vets are excellent and reasonably priced — but a serious illness, an accident, or surgery on a larger dog can still run into thousands. A pet policy turns those bills into manageable claims, and the liability cover protects you against the rare scenario where a friendly dog causes a real incident.

Vet fees for accident, illness and surgery
Long-term / chronic condition cover (lifetime plans)
Third-party liability up to EUR 1 million
EU + UK travel cover for trips up to 90 days
Cattery / kennel fees if you’re hospitalised

Why Abbeygate for Pet

A policy designed
for expat pet owners

Most Greek-paper pet insurance comes with paperwork in Greek and claims handled in Greek — fine if that’s your first language, awkward if it isn’t. Our pet product is written in English, claims are handled in English, and the travel cover knows expats actually take their dogs back to the UK regularly.

01

English-language paperwork

IPID, Policy Wording, claim forms — all in English. The vet sees a familiar form, you understand what you’re covered for, and the broker speaks your language.

02

Travel cover that works

Most Greek-paper pet policies exclude overseas travel or cap it at a few weeks per year. Ours covers EU + UK trips up to 90 days at a time — which is what expat owners actually need.

03

Fair claims handling

Pay the vet, send us the invoice, get the reimbursement. No call-centre runaround in a language you’re still learning. If there’s friction, we step in.

Customer Testimonial

★★★★★

"Sorting residency health insurance for my family was the bit I was dreading about moving to Greece. Abbeygate had the right tier on the right paper, in English, and the certificate landed in our inbox the same day. Immigration desk accepted it without a question."

Pet FAQs

Common questions about pet cover

Dogs and cats. Other pets (rabbits, parrots, horses) are quoted on a case-by-case basis — call us if you have a non-standard animal you want to insure.
No — like every standard pet policy on the market. We declare any pre-existing conditions at application and exclude them; everything else is covered. Get cover early in your pet’s life to avoid exclusions building up.
If you take the pet abroad (EU or UK) for up to 90 days at a time, the policy continues to cover vet bills and liability while you’re there. Subject to the pet having a valid EU pet passport / UK Animal Health Certificate.
Yes — if you’re hospitalised for 3+ days, the policy contributes towards reasonable cattery or kennel fees while you’re unable to care for the pet.
Greece regulates dangerous-dog breeds. Restricted breeds (or cross-breeds) require additional documentation and may be loaded or excluded — typically Pit Bull, Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro and American Bulldog. Call us before quoting if you own one of these.
