Is pet insurance legal in Indonesia?

Yes. Pawsure is the first pet insurance product operating in Indonesia, launched in January 2026 and recognized by OJK (Financial Services Authority). In April 2026, OJK officially acknowledged the huge potential of Indonesia's pet insurance market with over 30 million pets.

What conditions are typically covered by pet insurance?

Standard products typically cover: vet consultation fees, hospitalization, emergency surgery, medications, lab tests, and x-rays. Typically excluded: congenital conditions, pre-existing diseases (before enrollment), cosmetic procedures (grooming, nail trimming), and reproductive care (sterilization, delivery).

What is the approximate premium for pet insurance in Indonesia?

Based on Pawsure's product structure, monthly premiums range from Rp100,000–Rp300,000 depending on the pet's age, breed, and chosen plan. Given that emergency surgeries can cost Rp5–15 million, insurance can be very worthwhile if your pet is a breed prone to health issues.

Is it better to get pet insurance or build an emergency fund for pets?

Both have advantages. An emergency fund is more flexible (usable for any condition) but takes time to build. Insurance provides immediate protection from day one but involves regular premiums and exclusions. Ideally: have both — insurance for large costs, an emergency fund for small to medium expenses.
