proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Health\nThe proposal is interesting but cannot\
  \ be implemented in the context of health insurance. It is a proposal for animal\
  \ insurance, which is not covered by health insurance. Therefore, it cannot be introduced\
  \ by the Government.  This is not to say that such insurance cannot be introduced\
  \ in the context of property insurance within the insurance business. If an insurance\
  \ company found that there was a wider interest in introducing a specific insurance\
  \ to cover the risks arising from the veterinary treatment of pets, it could introduce\
  \ such an insurance. This is certainly a business decision for them, but not an\
  \ impossible or impracticable one.\n \nResponse from the Ministry of Agriculture,\
  \ Forestry and Food\nVeterinary legislation does not define pet insurance. This\
  \ is a business relationship between the animal owner and the chosen insurance company,\
  \ in which the Veterinary Administration of the Republic of Slovenia cannot and\
  \ must not intervene. According to the information available to us, some insurance\
  \ companies already offer the possibility to insure pets."
