What is Calingo all about?
For many people, pets are far more than everyday companions. Dogs and cats are part of the family, their health plays a central role and veterinary costs can quickly become a significant financial burden. This is exactly where Calingo comes in.
The Zurich-based InsurTech is building a modern, digital pet insurance solution for dogs and cats. Its goal is to make access to insurance solutions easier for pet owners while actively supporting the health of pets.
Digital insurance for dogs and cats
Calingo is positioned at the intersection of insurance, technology and pet health. The platform is designed not only to protect pets when costs arise, but to make the overall pet health experience more digital, simple and accessible.
At the core is an insurance solution tailored to the needs of dog and cat owners. Digital processes, a modern user experience and a clear focus on prevention are intended to ensure that pet health is not only addressed when veterinary costs become high.
A market with significant potential
The Swiss pet insurance market remains significantly underinsured. Switzerland has around 2.5 million dogs and cats, yet less than 10% of them are insured.
At the same time, the importance of pets in many households continues to increase. This creates an attractive market environment for modern digital insurance models with long-term growth potential.
Calingo addresses this opportunity with a scalable model that combines insurance, technology and prevention.
More than 12 000 insured dogs and cats
Since entering the market, Calingo has already built significant traction. More than 12,000 dogs and cats are currently insured with Calingo. By the end of 2025, the company had built a portfolio of CHF 8.3 million in recurring premiums.
The business model is based on recurring revenues and a scalable distribution approach. In addition to direct customer acquisition, Calingo relies on B2B2C partnerships with established brands and institutions.
Its partners include Allianz Suisse, SWICA, Coop, Qualipet, Brack.ch and a network of more than 200 veterinary practices. This combination of a digital product, strong distribution channels and a growing customer base forms the foundation for the next growth step.
Technology as the foundation for pet health
Calingo sees itself not only as an insurance provider, but as a digital platform for pet health. Its proprietary technology combines digital processes with veterinary expertise.
A central component of Calingo’s further development is its health platform. It is intended to identify risks at an early stage, make prevention more accessible in everyday life and create a long-term data-based ecosystem around the health of dogs and cats.
The next phase of growth
Through the ongoing crowdinvesting round on CONDA.ch, Calingo aims to accelerate further growth. The focus is on expanding the customer base, further developing the health platform and scaling the business model.
The objective is clear: Calingo aims to become a leading Swiss provider for pet insurance and pet health.
Calingo is aimed at investors who believe in digital business models, recurring revenues, strong partnerships and the growing market around pet health.
