Genric Pet Insurance

As a division of Genric Insurance, you can rest assured that you’re dealing with a pet insurer that has strong backing and will be able to cater to your needs in a flexible and dependable way. Whether this is your first time taking out pet insurance or are looking for a provider that offers you more cover and fewer restrictions, then Genric Pet Insurance is just the partner you need.

Choose your Pet insurance plan

Genric Pet Insurance offers five pet insurance packages, each designed to offer a specific level of cover to meet your budget as well as your pet’s needs. Whether you just want to cover your pet for expensive in-hospital treatment and emergency care or want to cover the more common out-of-hospital emergencies – there’s a plan for you.

Genric offers five distinct pet insurance plans including the Comprehensive Medical Expenses + plan, the Comprehensive Medical Expenses Only plan, the Hospital Only plan, the Accident Only plan, and the Essential plan. Whichever plan you select you’ll be able to enjoy affordable premiums which can be paid monthly or annually. You can also enjoy major discounts if you insure multiple pets.

A transparent insurer you can trust

Something that sets Genric Pet Insurance apart from its competitors is its high level of transparency. You won’t need to wonder how much it will cost to get your pet covered or what their plans actually do and don’t cover because they’ve already laid it out for your both on their website and via a booklet that lists both the annual and monthly premiums for up to five pets.

All plans cover accidents and emergency treatment in which your pet is admitted to the hospital.

You also get an optional savings plan as well as a Double Up Option which allows you to choose a plan and get double the maximum annual cover limit for double the premium. 

All plans offer you the choice of either a monthly premium payment or an annual payment, with the annual payment offering you a discount. You can also choose to add multiple pets to any of the plans and enjoy significant discounts. Finally, all plans come with a 10% excess (at an R200 minimum), and you get to make use of any veterinarian of your choice. 

The Comprehensive medical expense

These are the highest tier plans available from Genric Pet Insurance and offer an R45,000 or an R40,000 annual maximum benefit limit respectively. You also get emergency treatment cover even if your pet is not kept in the hospital. They also both cover out-of-hospital consultations (not covered on the lower-tier plans) and come with all the benefits offered on all Genric Pet Insurance plans.

The hospital only plan

This plan offers all the general benefits but only covers accidents and emergencies if your pet is kept in the hospital. This means you won’t be covered for any out-of-hospital consultations, treatments, or accidents. The maximum annual limit on this plan is R35,000 and the monthly premium starts at R230.

Accident only plan

This plan is significantly cheaper because your pet is only covered for treatments that are required as a result of an accident and the annual limit is set to R25,000. For instance, illnesses requiring in-hospital treatments will not be covered. This plan starts from just R160 per month.

The affordable essential plan

Starting at just R85 per month this is the most affordable plan on offer by Genric Pet insurance and offers a maximum of R15,000 annual cover for your pets. Accidents and emergencies are only covered if your pet is not admitted to the hospital (it offers no in-hospital cover at all).
