As dog owners, we want nothing more than for our dogs to be happy and healthy. However, sometimes they need medical care that is outside the usual. Physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions such as osteoarthritis in dogs.
The cost of physiotherapy for dogs depends on a variety of factors such as location, severity of the condition and duration of treatment. On average, the cost is around €50 per consultation.
Insurance for physiotherapy dog costs
For some dog owners, these physical therapy costs can be a burden. Fortunately, there are ways to help alleviate these costs. The best way to save money on your dog’s treatments is to get pet insurance.
With pet insurance, you can get financial protection for unexpected medical expenses, including physical therapy.
It’s important to compare different pet insurance policies to find a plan that fits your needs and budget. On our website, you can compare different pet insurance policies and find the best option for your dog.

It is wise to select a veterinary clinic or practice that specializes in physiotherapy for pets. For reimbursement of such treatments, a referral from a veterinarian is required, and the practitioner must be registered as an active member of the Dutch Association for Physiotherapy in Animals (NVFD).
This way, you can be sure that your dog is receiving the right care from experts who focus on the specific needs of animals. By investing in the right care for your dog, you can ensure that he or she lives a happy and healthy life, free from pain and discomfort.
