"Owning a pet can be expensive, and many turn to insurance plans to help bring costs down. Here are six things to consider before signing up for one in France. If you move to France with your pet, one of the first things you will probably do is look for a decent local veterinarian. Vet bills in France - like many other countries - are high. As such, many pet owners opt for pet insurance to help cover costs."
"There are two types of 'pet assurance' The first type is called assurance responsabilité civile (sometimes shortened as assurance RC), and it is a legal requirement for anyone who owns certain breeds of dogs. Basically, this insurance must cover against material damage or bodily harm that a 'dangerous dog', or guard dogs, known as 1re or 2e catégorie dogs, could cause."
Two main types of pet insurance exist in France: assurance responsabilité civile (RC) for liability and assurance animaux or mutuelle santé for pet health costs. RC is legally required for owners of certain 1re and 2e catégorie dogs and must cover material damage or bodily harm caused by dangerous or guard dogs. RC is often included in multirisque habitation policies, but owners should verify inclusion for their dog. Owners are legally responsible for their pet's actions. Veterinary expenses average €145 per year (2022 Ifop). Routine consultations cost €30–€40; urine tests €15–€25; blood tests €50–€150; vaccinations €50–€80.
