What is the FirstVet remote veterinary service?

The FirstVet service provides you with unlimited access to remote veterinarian consultations for any concerns you may have about your horse’s health. The consultations are conducted virtually through a video call. Through the video call, the veterinarian can assess the horse’s state of health and, if necessary, refer you to the appropriate treatment. If no treatment is necessary, you will receive instructions for home care from the FirstVet veterinarian.

The benefit is valid until further notice.

This is how the service works:

1. Create an account and download the application once you have purchased an insurance for your horse. This way, you always have a vet on hand.

2. If the horse falls ill or is injured, contact veterinary services through FirstVet first.

3. The vet will provide you with instructions and is able to recommend an appointment to vet services.

Cover against unpleasant surprises and help with veterinary expenses

A horse can be a trusted friend whose well-being is close to the heart. Pohjola Horse Insurance always includes Animal Insurance and Animal Liability Insurance. Your Horse Insurance can also include medical treatment expenses insurance for veterinary expenses in order to ensure that your horse receives fast access to good treatment in the event of illness or injury.

What does horse insurance cover?

Animal Insurance provides cover if your horse dies or is euthanised due to illness, accident, foaling or stillbirth. Animal Liability Insurance, in turn, covers losses suffered by third parties for which the horse’s owner, carer or keeper is liable for compensation by law.

Medical treatment expenses insurance is available in two options, and the more comprehensive policy covers, for example:

  • veterinarian bills,
  • bandaging and medication prescribed by a vet,
  • X-ray and laboratory examinations, and
  • daily hospital charges if the horse must be treated at a veterinary clinic.

You can also choose a less comprehensive medical treatment expenses insurance, which covers the basic veterinary expenses of illnesses and accidents specified in the terms and conditions.

Insurance for foals, mounts and trotting horses

Horse Insurance provides coverage for ponies, competitive horses and non-competitive horses. The policy can be taken out for foals from the age of just 10 days. Horse Insurance is granted to a horse or pony that is less than 16 years old.

A less comprehensive Horse Insurance, covering only accidental death, disappearance or theft, and general liability insurance can also be granted to an older horse that is nevertheless under 22 years old. Horse Insurance expires at the end of the insurance period during which the horse reaches 22 years of age.

Horse insurance provides comprehensive cover for both illnesses and accidents. The price of horse insurance depends on what kind of coverage you choose.
