€20,000 Protection Plan on every booking
Every booking on Petme comes with the Protection Plan at no extra cost. If something happens during the booking, it can contribute up to €20,000 toward vet expenses. It is not an insurance policy, so your own pet insurance still makes sense.
Automatic cashback, no signup, no opt-in
When a booking completes, cashback is credited to your Petme balance straight away. Use the balance on your next booking. The more you book, the more you get back.
