Vet clinic partners for the benefit of your cat
If your cat falls ill or is injured and requires treatment, you can go directly to our veterinary clinic partner.

At the clinic, you only pay the deductible in accordance with your Cat Insurance, and the clinic will invoice Pohjola Insurance for the remainder of the fee.

Cat Insurance may be granted to cats under the age of 7. The insurance provides cover against Illness and accidents throughout the cat's life with no upper age limit. To get the best cover for your cat, select a maximum compensation of 3,000 euros for your insurance. Please note that death cover and liability loss and damage covers included in Cat Insurance expire after your cat turns 10 years.

The cat’s health declaration is easy to fill in online
Cat insurance and other animal insurance are granted on the basis of the animal’s state of health. A cat’s health declaration is easy to fill in online when you take out the policy.
Cat insurance can often be granted even if the cat is not fully fit. The decision is always made on the basis of the health declaration.
Cat insurance compensates the treatment of accidents and any illnesses that occurred after the policy was taken out, so as a rule no illness that existed before the policy was taken out will be compensated. When you take out cat insurance when your pet is still young and healthy, you ensure the best coverage possible.
The insurance is issued by Pohjola Insurance Ltd. OP cooperative banks are acting as Pohjola Insurance Ltd’s representatives.
