Gecko Insurance

Do you need to insure a gecko?

Geckos may be small pets, but their healthcare needs can be surprisingly specialised. Whether you keep a leopard gecko, crested gecko or another species, having access to the right veterinary care is an important part of responsible ownership. Gecko insurance can help you manage the cost of unexpected veterinary treatment, giving you greater financial flexibility if your pet becomes ill or suffers an injury.

Without insurance, you would need to pay eligible veterinary expenses yourself. Setting aside money for emergencies is one option, but a suitable gecko insurance policy offers an alternative way to prepare for the unexpected.

Can you insure geckos that have recently been unwell?

We can’t cover your gecko if they’ve been to the vet for an accident or illness in the last 3 months.

Once they’ve been treatment-free for 3 months and are fit and healthy, we can insure them. Pre-existing conditions won’t be covered in the first year, but after that, we’ll review them based on the policy terms..

As always, cover is subject to our Policy Terms and Conditions.
