## **Executive Summary**

Spain’s pet insurance market appears highly referral-ready, but much of that advocacy remains informal, inconsistent and commercially underutilised.

Overall, 45% of customers say they have already referred a pet insurance provider to someone they know, either formally or through everyday conversations. That means nearly half the market already demonstrates some form of advocacy behaviour today.

At the same time, the research shows that referral behaviour is not purely emotional or satisfaction-led. Incentives materially increase participation. While 38% say they would refer without receiving a reward, that figure rises sharply when urgency is introduced: 57% say they would be likely to refer with a limited-time offer, and 52% say they are likely to join a referral program in the next six months.

Urban customers emerge as the strongest near-term activation audience. Among urban respondents, 48% have already referred, 60% would respond to a limited-time offer, and 55% are likely to join a referral program soon. That makes them the clearest initial audience for a scaled referral launch.

By region, Levante & Cataluña stands out particularly strongly. It records the highest prior referral rate at 49% and the highest likelihood to join a program at 57%. The region appears both socially active and commercially responsive, creating a strong overlap between advocacy potential and program readiness.

The findings also reinforce that referral should not be viewed purely as an acquisition tool. It increasingly shapes retention and customer movement too. Overall, 40% of customers say they would be likely to switch provider if a trusted friend recommended another pet insurance brand. That rises to 44% among urban customers, while Levante & Cataluña records the highest regional switching vulnerability at 42%.

At the same time, only 4% overall say they do not plan to leave their current provider. This does not mean the market is unstable, or that most customers are actively preparing to switch. But it does suggest loyalty is conditional, particularly in a category where trust, claims experience and emotional reassurance matter so heavily.

The broader conclusion is clear: pet insurance providers in Spain should treat referral as both a growth channel and a loyalty-protection mechanism. The strongest programs will combine compelling rewards, a visible friend benefit, fast fulfilment, WhatsApp-first sharing and a simple referral journey. But they also need to be grounded in trust. Customers are not just recommending a policy. They are recommending reassurance that someone’s pet will be properly looked after when it matters.

## **1. Introduction & Method**

This report explores referral behaviour, switching risk and customer advocacy within Spain’s pet insurance market, with particular focus on how attitudes differ by region and urbanicity.

The objective is to help pet insurance providers better understand when customers are willing to recommend, what motivates referral behaviour, what suppresses participation, and how referral programs can support both growth and retention.

Pet insurance occupies an unusual position within financial services. On one level, customers are purchasing a practical insurance product. But emotionally, many people experience pet insurance very differently from categories such as car insurance, broadband or utilities. They are not simply buying cover. They are buying reassurance that their pet will be protected when something goes wrong.

That changes the psychology of referral.

In lower-risk consumer categories, people may recommend a product because it is cheap, convenient or easy to try. In pet insurance, the stakes feel more personal. Customers may hesitate because they worry about whether claims will be handled fairly, whether exclusions will frustrate their friend later, or whether recommending the provider creates social responsibility if the experience goes badly.

At the same time, pet ownership naturally creates recommendation moments. People talk about vet bills, claims, new pets, breeds, cover levels, renewal pricing and treatment costs. Those conversations happen in WhatsApp chats, at the dog park, at the vet, through breeder communities and within families.

That creates an important tension within the category. Advocacy already exists, but much of it remains unmanaged, unmeasured and disconnected from formal referral infrastructure.

#### **Sample**

1,000 Spanish adults with a current or recent pet insurance policy.

#### **Segments**

##### **Regions**

- Norte
- Centro
- Levante & Cataluña
- Sur & Islas

##### **Urbanicity**

- Urban
- Suburban
- Rural

#### **Questionnaire**

30 questions covering satisfaction, referral behaviour, motivators, reward preferences, switching triggers, loyalty, referral program expectations, sharing behaviour and trust indicators.

## **2. Referral Readiness and Likelihood**

### **Referral behaviour is already present, but not fully activated**

The Spanish pet insurance market already displays a meaningful base of advocacy behaviour.

| Metric | Overall result |
| --- | --- |
| Have already referred | 45% |
| Would refer without reward | 38% |
| Would refer with limited-time offer | 57% |
| Likely to join referral program in next 6 months | 52% |

The most important finding is not simply that 45% have referred before. It is that the market appears full of customers who are open to referral, but not always active.

That matters because it reframes the opportunity. Providers do not need to create advocacy behaviour from scratch. They need to make existing advocacy easier, more visible and more repeatable.

The gap between organic advocacy and prompted action is especially important. While 38% would refer without a reward, 57% would be likely to refer with a limited-time offer. That 19-point uplift suggests many customers are persuadable but passive. They may be happy enough with their provider, but still need a specific reason to share now rather than later.

The fact that 52% are likely to join a referral program in the next six months also suggests referral can operate at meaningful scale in the category. This is not a niche behaviour limited to a small group of enthusiasts. More than half the market appears open to formal participation if the program is clear, credible and rewarding.

### **Urban, suburban and rural patterns**

Urbanicity is one of the clearest differentiators in the data.

| Segment | Have referred | Would refer without reward | Would refer with limited-time offer | Likely to join program |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Urban | 48% | 36% | 60% | 55% |
| Suburban | 44% | 39% | 57% | 53% |
| Rural | 39% | 41% | 50% | 42% |

Urban customers emerge as the strongest activation audience. They lead on prior referral behaviour, limited-time offer responsiveness and program participation intent.

This likely reflects a combination of stronger digital engagement, faster sharing behaviour and greater exposure to recommendation channels. Urban customers appear especially suited to mobile-first referral journeys, WhatsApp-led sharing, short promotional windows and campaign-based boosts.

Suburban customers sit surprisingly close behind. Their prior referral rate is slightly lower at 44%, but 57% would respond to a limited-time offer and 53% are likely to join a program. This makes suburban customers commercially important rather than a secondary audience.

Rural customers behave differently. Their prior referral rate is lower at 39%, and program participation intent drops to 42%. But they are more willing than urban customers to refer without receiving a reward: 41% compared with 36%.

That contrast is revealing. Rural referral behaviour appears more relationship-led and trust-led, while urban referral behaviour appears more campaign-led and activation-sensitive. For rural customers, the message may need to focus less on urgency and more on reassurance, claims confidence, simplicity and helping other pet owners find cover they can trust.

### **Regional differences**

Regional differences are also meaningful.

| Region | Have referred | Would refer without reward | Would refer with limited-time offer | Likely to join program |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Norte | 43% | 37% | 59% | 50% |
| Centro | 45% | 41% | 56% | 52% |
| Levante & Cataluña | 49% | 39% | 57% | 57% |
| Sur & Islas | 42% | 39% | 56% | 48% |

Levante & Cataluña is the standout region. It has the highest prior referral rate at 49% and the highest program participation intent at 57%. This combination suggests a market that is both socially active and ready for structured referral activation.

Norte is interesting for a different reason. Its prior referral rate is slightly lower at 43%, but its response to limited-time offers is the highest of any region at 59%. This suggests customers in Norte may not be the most active referrers today, but they can be mobilized effectively when the offer is timely and clear.

Centro looks balanced. 45% have referred, 41% would refer without a reward, and 52% are likely to join a program. The comparatively strong willingness to refer without reward suggests trust and satisfaction may play a slightly bigger role here than pure incentive value.

Sur & Islas is the softest region in referral readiness, with the lowest prior referral rate at 42% and the lowest program participation intent at 48%. Even so, more than half of respondents still say they would respond positively to a limited-time offer, so the opportunity remains substantial.

### **Overall observations**

Several broad themes emerge from the referral-readiness data.

First, referral behaviour already exists at scale. Nearly half of customers have referred before, which means pet insurance is already being discussed and recommended informally.

Second, the market responds strongly to activation. Limited-time offers create a clear uplift in willingness to refer, suggesting many customers are not resistant to referral; they are simply not being prompted effectively.

Third, referral strategy needs to account for segment differences. Urban customers appear more campaign-responsive. Rural customers appear more trust-led. Levante & Cataluña looks like the strongest regional launch opportunity. Norte may respond well to urgency mechanics despite lower historic referral behaviour.

The practical implication is that referral programs should not be designed as generic national promotions. They are likely to perform better when the core program is consistent, but activation, messaging and campaign timing are adapted to different audience types.

## **3. Motivators and Program Design Considerations**

### **Referral in pet insurance is emotionally sensitive**

Pet insurance referrals are not purely transactional.

Customers are not simply telling a friend where to get a cheaper policy. They are making a recommendation connected to the health and wellbeing of a pet. That creates a different kind of social risk.

If the friend later has a poor claims experience, finds exclusions confusing or feels poorly treated, the referrer may feel some responsibility. That emotional layer means referral programs in pet insurance need to do more than offer a reward. They need to make the recommendation feel safe.

This has several practical implications.

The friend benefit needs to be visible. A double-sided offer helps the referrer feel they are genuinely helping the friend, not just profiting from them.

The claims proposition needs to be clear. Customers need confidence that the provider will deliver when the policy is used.

The journey needs to be simple. Confusion creates hesitation, especially in categories where terms, exclusions and eligibility can already feel complex.

### **Rewards create urgency, but trust makes the referral credible**

The uplift from 38% willing to refer without reward to 57% likely to refer with a limited-time offer shows the value of incentives and urgency.

But the category should not be treated as if rewards alone will solve referral performance. In pet insurance, rewards may prompt action, but trust gives customers permission to recommend.

That distinction is important. A limited-time offer can encourage a customer to share. But the customer still needs to feel comfortable putting their name behind the provider.

The strongest programs are therefore likely to combine:

- flexible customer rewards
- a clear benefit for the friend
- simple terms
- fast reward delivery
- reassurance around cover and claims
- easy private sharing

This is especially important because pet insurance recommendations are likely to happen in personal spaces rather than public social feeds. WhatsApp, SMS, email and in-person conversations are likely to matter more than broad social broadcasting.

## **4. Size and Shape of the Referral Opportunity**

The research suggests referral opportunity in pet insurance is broad rather than confined to a small group of highly active advocates.

A 45% prior referral rate indicates that recommendation behaviour is already normalized. Customers may recommend providers in practical, everyday contexts: when a friend gets a puppy, when someone complains about a vet bill, when renewal pricing comes up, or when a claim has gone well.

But the 52% near-term program participation figure suggests the opportunity goes beyond informal word-of-mouth. Many customers appear open to structured participation if the program feels worthwhile.

This creates an important planning consideration. Referral growth is unlikely to come only from a small group of super-referrers. It is more likely to come from making referral easy enough for many customers to participate once or twice.

That means the program should be designed for low-friction repeatability:

- easy sharing
- simple explanation
- visible tracking
- clear eligibility rules
- fast fulfilment
- obvious friend value

The emotional context matters here too. Customers may not want to “sell” insurance to friends. But they may be willing to help another pet owner find cover they trust, especially if the friend also receives a clear benefit.

That is why positioning matters. The program should not feel like a hard-sell incentive scheme. It should feel like a simple way to recommend useful protection to someone who may need it.

## **5. Switching Risk and Loyalty**

### **Referral has a defensive dimension**

Referral is not just about growth. It also shapes who keeps the customer.

| Metric | Overall result |
| --- | --- |
| Likely to switch if friend recommends competitor | 40% |
| Do not plan to leave current provider | 4% |

The headline risk is that 40% of customers say they would be likely to switch provider if a friend recommended another pet insurance brand.

That is a high figure for a category where inertia might otherwise be expected to play a meaningful role. Insurance products are often renewed rather than actively reconsidered every month. Yet the data suggests a trusted recommendation can still create enough confidence to consider moving.

The second figure is also important. Only 4% say they do not plan to leave their current provider. This does not mean the rest of the market is actively shopping, but it does indicate that very few customers are completely closed to switching.

Together, these findings suggest pet insurance loyalty is conditional. Customers may stay while the price feels fair, the cover feels appropriate and the provider remains trusted. But a credible recommendation from a friend can disrupt that stability.

### **Switching risk by urbanicity**

| Segment | Likely to switch if friend recommends competitor | Do not plan to leave current provider |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Urban | 44% | 5% |
| Suburban | 39% | 3% |
| Rural | 32% | 1% |

Urban customers are the highest switching-risk group. 44% say they would be likely to switch if a friend recommended a competitor.

This aligns with their higher referral readiness. Urban customers appear more active in recommendation environments generally: more willing to refer, more responsive to offers, and more open to influence from others.

Suburban customers are also exposed, with 39% likely to switch after a friend recommendation. They are not as volatile as urban customers, but the risk remains significant.

Rural customers are less likely to switch based on a friend recommendation, at 32%. However, only 1% say they do not plan to leave their current provider. Their switching behaviour may be less immediate, but they are not fully locked in.

The implication is that providers should not only use referral to acquire new customers. They should also use it to strengthen loyalty among existing customers. A customer who becomes an active advocate may also become more emotionally invested in the provider relationship.

### **Switching risk by region**

| Region | Likely to switch if friend recommends competitor | Do not plan to leave current provider |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Norte | 40% | 4% |
| Centro | 41% | 4% |
| Levante & Cataluña | 42% | 3% |
| Sur & Islas | 38% | 3% |

The regional switching-risk pattern is relatively consistent, but Levante & Cataluña again stands out. It has the highest likelihood to switch after a friend recommendation, at 42%, while also having the highest likelihood to join a referral program, at 57%.

This makes Levante & Cataluña both a high-opportunity and high-risk region. Providers that activate referrals well could gain share. Providers that do not may be more exposed to competitor recommendations.

Centro is also notable, with 41% likely to switch and 52% likely to join a referral program. This suggests a competitive but addressable market where customers may be persuaded by both incentives and trusted recommendations.

Norte sits at 40% switching risk, in line with the overall average, but has strong limited-time offer responsiveness at 59%. That means promotional referral campaigns may be particularly useful in this region.

Sur & Islas has the lowest switching risk, at 38%, but this is still a substantial minority. Providers should not assume the region is protected from referral-led competitor switching.

### **Overall observations**

  
The switching-risk data changes how referral should be understood.If providers only view referral as a way to acquire incremental customers, they miss half the story. Friend recommendations can also pull existing customers away.

That means referral is both offensive and defensive. It can help providers acquire new customers more efficiently, but it can also help occupy the recommendation space before competitors do.

This is especially important in pet insurance because trust is so central to decision-making. A customer may compare prices online, but a trusted friend’s recommendation can reduce uncertainty in a way that advertising rarely does.

## **6. Strategic Segment Profiles**

### **Urban customers**

#### **Strongest activation audience and highest switching risk**

Urban customers are the most commercially important early segment.

They lead on prior referral behaviour, limited-time offer responsiveness and program participation intent. They also show the highest switching risk, with 44% likely to switch provider if a friend recommended a competitor.

That combination makes urban customers both attractive and vulnerable. They are likely to be responsive to referral programs, but they are also likely to be influenced by competitors’ referral activity.

#### **Strategic implication**

Urban customers should be the first activation audience for a scaled program. Referral journeys should be mobile-first, WhatsApp-friendly, easy to share and supported by limited-time boosts. Clear tracking and fast reward fulfilment are likely to matter, because this audience appears especially responsive to immediacy and convenience.

### **Suburban customers**

#### **Strong secondary audience with retention importance**

Suburban customers sit close behind urban customers on most referral-readiness measures. 44% have referred before, 57% would respond to a limited-time offer, and 53% are likely to join a program.

They also show meaningful switching vulnerability, with 39% likely to switch after a friend recommendation.

#### **Strategic implication**

Suburban customers should not be treated as a marginal audience. Program messaging may work best when it combines value, household budgeting, reassurance and trust. This segment may be particularly receptive to messaging around protecting pets properly while managing rising costs.

### **Rural customers**

#### **Lower campaign responsiveness, stronger trust-led behaviour**

Rural customers are less likely to have referred before and less likely to join a program. However, they are more willing than urban customers to refer without a reward.

That suggests rural advocacy is more relationship-led. Customers may be less responsive to short-term promotional pressure, but more willing to recommend when they genuinely trust the provider.

#### **Strategic implication**

Rural activation should focus less on urgency and more on reassurance. Claims confidence, simple terms, veterinary trust signals and straightforward referral codes are likely to be more persuasive than high-pressure campaign messaging.

### **Levante & Cataluña**

#### **Highest-opportunity region**

Levante & Cataluña has the strongest regional opportunity profile. It records the highest prior referral rate, the highest likelihood to join a program, and the highest switching risk.

This creates a region where advocacy and vulnerability overlap unusually strongly.

#### **Strategic implication**

Levante & Cataluña is a strong candidate for regional referral pilots or targeted launch activity. Campaigns should combine strong incentive value, double-sided rewards and short promotional windows, while also reinforcing why the provider can be trusted.

### **Norte**

#### **Campaign-responsive despite lower historic referral behaviour**

Norte has slightly lower historic referral activity, but the strongest response to limited-time offers.

This suggests customers may be less active naturally, but still highly responsive when prompted with the right offer.

#### **Strategic implication**

Norte may respond well to clear campaign mechanics, especially where the offer feels timely and easy to understand. The region should not be deprioritized simply because prior referral behaviour is lower.

### **Centro**

#### **Balanced and commercially addressable**

Centro shows balanced referral behaviour across most measures. It has healthy prior referral activity, comparatively strong willingness to refer without reward, and meaningful program participation intent.

#### **Strategic implication**

Centro may be well suited to an always-on referral program supported by clear reward communication and trust-based messaging. It may not require the same urgency-led approach as urban or Norte audiences, but visibility and ease will remain important.

### **Sur & Islas**

#### **Softer readiness, but still meaningful opportunity**

Sur & Islas has the lowest prior referral rate and the lowest program participation intent, but more than half of customers would still respond to limited-time offers.

This is not a weak market; it is a less naturally activated one.

#### **Strategic implication**

Referral messaging in Sur & Islas should make the value exchange especially clear. Double-sided rewards, simple terms and visible friend benefits are likely to be particularly important.

## **7. Implications for Pet Insurance Providers**

### **Formalize informal advocacy**

Customers are already recommending pet insurance providers. The issue is that much of this activity is likely happening outside formal channels.

A customer may mention their insurer in a WhatsApp chat, recommend them at the vet, or talk about a good claims experience with another pet owner. Without a referral mechanism, that recommendation may never be tracked, rewarded or repeated.

The first priority is therefore to make advocacy easier to capture.

### **Build urgency into the program**

Limited-time offers lift referral likelihood meaningfully. This suggests pet insurance referral programs should not rely only on passive, always-on visibility.

Always-on infrastructure should be supported by campaign moments, such as:

- new pet adoption periods
- renewal windows
- seasonal vet-care moments
- post-claim satisfaction moments
- product or cover launches

These moments give customers a reason to act now.

### **Make the friend benefit highly visible**

Pet insurance recommendations carry emotional responsibility. Customers need to feel they are helping the friend, not simply earning a reward.

That makes dual-sided rewards particularly important. The friend benefit should be prominent, simple and easy for the customer to explain.

### **Lead with flexible rewards**

Flexible rewards such as cash and gift cards are likely to create stronger emotional pull than delayed or restrictive rewards.

Bill credits may still have a role, but they may feel less immediate, especially if they are linked to renewal or future payments.

### **Design around private sharing**

Pet insurance referrals are likely to happen through private channels rather than public posting.

In Spain, WhatsApp should be central to the referral journey. Customers should be able to send a pre-written message quickly, while still being able to personalize it.

The program should also support SMS, email, referral codes and app-based sharing, but WhatsApp-first design should be the default.

### **Make the journey extremely simple**

The referral process should feel quick, transparent and low-risk.

Customers should immediately understand:

- what they receive
- what the friend receives
- when the reward is paid
- whether the friend must hold the policy for a minimum period
- how they can track progress

Complexity is particularly dangerous in insurance because customers may already worry about exclusions, eligibility and claims conditions.

### **Treat referral as retention infrastructure**

The switching-risk data is too important to ignore.

If 40% of customers would be likely to switch after a friend recommendation, then competitor advocacy is a direct threat.

Referral programs should therefore be treated as retention infrastructure as well as acquisition infrastructure. A customer who recommends their provider may become more invested in that provider. And a provider that occupies the recommendation space early is better placed to defend against competitor influence.

## **8. Recommended Program Design**

Based on the findings, the strongest pet insurance referral program would include six core elements.

### **1. Double-sided reward structure**

The customer should receive a meaningful reward, but the friend benefit should be equally visible.

This reduces social friction and makes the recommendation easier to send.

### **2. Flexible reward options**

Cash and gift cards should be the core reward territory, with bill credits used only as a secondary option.

The reward needs to feel immediate and useful.

### **3. Limited-time boosts**

Always-on referral should be supported by time-bound promotional windows.

These boosts are particularly important for urban customers, Norte and launch campaigns in Levante & Cataluña.

### **4. WhatsApp-first sharing**

The default sharing journey should be built around private messaging.

Pre-written WhatsApp messages should be clear, warm and easy to personalize.

### **5. Clear tracking and fulfilment**

Customers should be able to see whether their referral has been received, whether the friend has engaged, and whether the reward is progressing.

This is particularly important where reward payout depends on policy purchase or minimum holding periods.

### **6. Trust-led messaging**

The program should not feel like a generic incentive scheme.

It should reinforce confidence in:

- cover quality
- claims handling
- customer service
- transparent terms
- friend value

That is what makes the recommendation feel safe.

## **Conclusion**

The Spanish pet insurance market contains a substantial but still under-structured referral opportunity.

Customers are already talking about providers. 45% say they have referred before, which means advocacy already exists at scale. The opportunity is not to manufacture word-of-mouth from nothing, but to formalize and activate behaviour that is already happening informally.

The research also shows that many customers are open to referral but need a clearer reason to act. While 38% would refer without a reward, 57% would be likely to refer with a limited-time offer. That gap is commercially important. It suggests many customers are persuadable, but passive. They may be satisfied enough to recommend, but still need a timely prompt, a clear reward and an easy sharing journey.

Program participation potential is also strong. 52% say they are likely to join a referral program in the next six months. This indicates that referral in pet insurance can credibly operate as a mainstream acquisition channel rather than a small loyalty add-on.

The strongest early opportunity appears to sit with urban customers and in Levante & Cataluña. Urban customers lead across prior referral behaviour, limited-time offer responsiveness and program intent. Levante & Cataluña is the strongest regional opportunity, combining the highest historic referral rate with the highest likelihood to join a program.

But the same data also carries a warning. Friend recommendations can pull customers away as well as bring new customers in. 40% of customers say they would be likely to switch provider if a trusted friend recommended a competitor. Among urban customers, that rises to 44%. In Levante & Cataluña, it reaches 42%.

This means referral should be treated as both a growth channel and a competitive-defence mechanism. Providers that fail to activate their own advocates leave space for competitors to influence customers through trusted recommendations.

More broadly, the findings suggest pet insurance behaves differently from many other insurance categories. Customers are not simply recommending a financial product. They are recommending reassurance, care and confidence that a pet will be protected when something goes wrong.

That emotional layer makes referral more powerful, but also more sensitive. The reward needs to be attractive, but the recommendation also needs to feel safe. Customers need to believe the provider will deliver for the friend they refer.

The winning programs will therefore be simple, mobile-first, WhatsApp-friendly, double-sided, transparent and campaign-supported. They will use urgency to create action, but trust to make the recommendation credible.

Pet insurance providers that formalize advocacy early will be better positioned to acquire customers efficiently, strengthen loyalty and defend their base against competitor recommendations.
