Study Overview
The pet insurance market refers to insurance contracts covering the health costs of pets - veterinary care and expenses related to illness or accident - in the same way as for humans. The animals concerned are mainly dogs and cats, and to a lesser extent other pets known by the acronym NAC (Nouveaux Animaux de Compagnie): rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. The pet insurance market generally includes 3 types of offer:
Basic plan Intermediate package Premium plan

Depending on the package chosen, the insurance may cover :
Veterinary consultations Laboratory tests Vaccinations Sterilization Deworming Etc.
The pet insurance market remains relatively underdeveloped in France (13% of pet owners have health insurance for their pets) compared to other European countries. Many therefore see strong potential for development in the years ahead, in line with the trend of rising veterinary expenditure and premiumization of pet care and services. The fact that the market is not yet firmly established would leave more room for new entrants than other saturated markets. However, others note the obstacles that continue to hold back the market's development in France, such as a psychology unaccustomed to paying its own healthcare costs, which would then be less inclined to spend a lot on its pets, or products that often disappoint consumers (numerous exclusions in offers...).
