Basically, every cat owner benefits from cat health insurance, as unexpected health problems or injuries can never be completely ruled out. It is particularly important for kittens and young cats. Early protection ensures that breed-specific diseases, which often only appear later, are covered in the long term and you do not incur unexpected costs. Outdoor cats have a higher risk of injuries and infections, as they are exposed to many dangers outside – from road traffic to confrontations with other animals. Especially for these active adventurers, cat health insurance is particularly useful to be able to help quickly and comprehensively in an emergency. But indoor cats can also get sick or injured – for example, in a fall or if they have eaten something poisonous. Therefore, insurance is also worth it for pure indoor cats: It covers many costs that could otherwise quickly become a financial burden. Finally, cat health insurance is particularly recommended for everyone who attaches great importance to prevention. Vaccinations, deworming, or regular health check-ups are important building blocks for a long and healthy cat life. If you want these preventive measures to be covered as well, you should make sure that your insurance includes its own prevention budget.

The costs for cat insurance vary greatly. They depend, among other things, on age, breed, health status, the chosen tariff, and the type of insurance – i.e., whether it is pure surgery insurance or comprehensive health insurance. Cheap entry-level tariffs start at around 20 euros per month. Premium policies with extensive benefits and no deductible can cost 70 euros or more per month. The reimbursement level, annual maximum benefit, and prevention budget are also decisive for the premium. Important to know: A low monthly premium does not automatically mean cheap insurance. Often, low premiums go hand in hand with higher deductibles or gaps in coverage. If you are looking for the right balance of cost and protection, you should compare tariffs carefully – especially with regard to reimbursement speed, deductibles, age surcharges, and possible additional benefits. Dalma is one of the most price-attractive providers on the market in direct comparison – without skimping on performance. For as little as around 21 euros a month, cat owners receive comprehensive full protection with 80 percent cost coverage, 1,500 euros annual maximum benefit, and a prevention budget. The premium tariffs with 100 percent reimbursement and unlimited performance also remain comparatively inexpensive at under 50 euros a month. Dalma also waives automatic age surcharges and offers fair conditions for older animals as well. Multi-cat households also benefit from a 15 percent discount on the cheaper tariff. Anyone who values flexibility, a transparent cost structure, and modern digital processing will find a contemporary insurance solution with Dalma.

Anyone who wants to protect their cat completely should not only look at the price when choosing health insurance. This is because benefits, contract conditions, and flexibility sometimes differ considerably – even with similar monthly premiums.

‍

Particularly important in the comparison are:

Level of cost coverage (for example, 80 or 100 percent)

Deductible and annual maximum benefit

Included preventive services such as vaccinations or professional teeth cleaning

Waiting periods and possible exclusions (such as dental diseases or breed-specific problems)

Age limits when taking out insurance

Contract conditions in the event of claims

Multi-cat discounts

‍

A structured comparison is therefore worthwhile both financially and with regard to the long-term protection of your cat. Dalma convinces through a balanced relationship between price and performance. While other providers often make significant restrictions in benefits for cheaper tariffs, Dalma already covers many services in the basic tariffs that require paid additional packages elsewhere, such as alternative healing methods, physiotherapy, or behavioral therapy. The contract conditions are also customer-friendly: Dalma waives a right of termination after claims, offers flexible tariff design (60 to 100 percent reimbursement, 500 euros to unlimited annual performance), short waiting periods, and completely digital processing with reimbursement within 48 hours. Particularly attractive for multi-cat households: the automatic 15 percent discount for several insured animals.

Whether it's FORL, a swallowed foreign object, or a tumor... many cats require at least one operation in the course of their lives. The costs for this can quickly be in the three- to four-figure range. Surgery insurance protects cat owners from these financial burdens and covers – depending on the tariff – up to 100 percent of the resulting costs. The Dalma surgery insurance offers targeted protection against high surgery costs. Flexible, transparent, and individually customizable. Owners decide for themselves on the reimbursement rate and annual maximum limit, benefit from fast processing within 48 hours, and always keep an overview with the user-friendly app. Dental surgeries, alternative healing methods, physiotherapy, and telemedicine are also included in the insurance coverage.

Two cats bring double the joy, but also double the responsibility. Especially when both animals fall ill at the same time or regular preventive measures are due, vet costs can rise quickly. Cat health insurance for two cats protects against high expenses and ensures that both "velvet paws" are well cared for medically at all times. Whether it's injuries, infections, or dental problems – with the right protection, you avoid financial bottlenecks and don't have to make difficult decisions. Are you looking for flexible health insurance for two cats with a discount advantage? At Dalma, you receive individually customizable tariffs with strong performance and an attractive multi-cat discount. If you insure two cats, you get a 15 percent discount on the cheaper tariff. You can set the reimbursement rate and budget yourself. Regardless of whether you opt for pure surgery protection or full protection with preventive services. Thanks to digital processing and reimbursement within 48 hours, you remain able to act when it matters most.

Even if a cat already has health problems, health or surgery insurance can still be useful. Although existing diagnoses are usually excluded from insurance coverage, all future illnesses and accidents that are not related to them are covered. In this way, cat insurance protects against further unforeseen costs despite a pre-existing condition. An important contribution to financial relief and the best possible medical care for your cat! At Dalma, you can insure your cat even if a pre-existing condition is already present. Existing diagnoses are excluded from protection, but all new, independent illnesses and accidents are fully insured depending on the tariff. Dalma scores with clearly defined benefits, fast reimbursement within 48 hours, and flexible tariffs. This is how you protect your cat responsibly even with a pre-existing condition – without financial worries.

As a rule, cat insurance is considered a private expense and is not tax-deductible. Only if it can be proven that the cat is used professionally, for example as a therapy or assistance cat, can the premiums be claimed as business expenses or professional expenses under certain conditions. Household-related services around pet care or mobile vet visits in your own home can also be tax-relevant under certain circumstances. It is worth keeping invoices in a safe place and seeking professional advice if you have any questions. Dalma exclusively offers insurance for privately kept cats. Professionally used animals such as therapy or breeding cats are excluded from insurance coverage. This means: Tax deductibility of insurance premiums is not possible with a Dalma cat insurance. Nevertheless, owners benefit from clear and fair services. These include prevention, surgeries, medication, behavioral therapy, and fast digital reimbursement. Dalma stands for transparency and reliable protection for all those who keep their cat purely privately.
