Pet insurance providers expand coverage in Spain and Mexico

Insurance providers are expanding their offerings for pet owners in Spain and Mexico. In Spain, Línea Directa has launched a new pet insurance policy for dogs and cats. The plan includes veterinary consultations, vaccinations, preventive check-ups, and 24-hour emergency care. It also features specialty services such as cardiology, ophthalmology, and traumatology, supported by a network of over 600 collaborating veterinary clinics across the country.

In Mexico, pet insurance options are being highlighted as a way to manage unexpected veterinary expenses, which can exceed 15,000 pesos in a single instance. Costco Mexico offers pet insurance designed to cover accidents and illnesses, though costs vary based on the pet's species, age, and breed. Other market references, such as BBVA, suggest entry-level plans can start around 6 pesos per day. According to CONDUSEF, annual premiums for various products typically range between 1,000 and 5,300 pesos depending on the selected coverage and plan.
