Frequently asked questions

Is Lassie an insurer or a broker?+

Lassie is a broker, broker, so it does not carry the risk itself. It places pet policies and the contract you sign is with the insurer it introduces. It is registered with Finansinspektionen in Sweden, 58940, which is the permission to distribute insurance in that market.

What is the excess on a vet claim?+

The excess starts at €0, so you do not have to put money in before a claim is paid. That figure is shown for the German dog health insurance range, so check the policy wording for whichever plan you pick before you rely on it.

How much can I claim back for vet bills?+

The veterinary care cover limit reaches 160 000 SEK per year (Gold veterinary care insurance). That is the yearly ceiling the insurer will pay on covered treatment, not a promise that every claim reaches it, so the treatment your pet actually needs decides what you claim.

Can I insure a puppy or an older pet?+

Pets can join at from 6 weeks, no upper age limit, so a puppy or kitten can be covered well before it is grown and there is no upper age limit to plan around. Compare the plan limits before you choose, because the yearly cap differs by tier.

Can I pay monthly instead of in one go?+

Monthly payments are available, and the model is monthly, so the premium is spread across the year rather than settled at once. That keeps each outlay small for owners who prefer a predictable recurring charge to a larger annual bill.

How do I make a claim?+

Claims run through app, email and direct settlement, so you can start in the app, send the paperwork by email, or let the vet settle directly with the insurer where the practice allows it. Direct settlement saves you paying the vet and claiming it back afterwards.

How do I get help from Lassie?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so you can phone, chat, email or work through the help centre. A call suits anything urgent, such as a treatment you want approved before the vet starts, and the help centre is the place to check wording.

Who is behind Lassie and where is it regulated?+

The company is Lassie AB, based in Sweden and founded in 2020. It holds a Swedish registration with Finansinspektionen, 58940. Being a broker rather than an insurer, the policy you hold is with the insurer named in it, not with Lassie.
