What does each insurance reimburse?
Petplan reimburses 100% up to €3.100, Barkibu reimburses only 80% up to €3.000
Let’s take an example of a vet bill due to an accident with a broken leg ⤵️

▶️As you can see, Barkibu’s excess is 20% of each bill. This means that the higher the amount of the bill, the higher the cost to you…
Now we ask you, Why are you looking for Veterinary Insurance?
Are you worried that one day something will happen to your furry friend and the expense won’t allow you to give him the care he/she needs?
Or are you worried about a €20 or €30 bill once a year?
If one day you need reimbursement for a bill of 3.000€, with Petplan you only pay 45€, with Barkibu you would pay 600€ (i.e. 20%).
Isn’t it a bit expensive? 🤔
