Yes — since 29 September 2023, Ley 7/2023 has required every dog in Spain (not just PPP/potentially dangerous breeds) to be covered by responsabilidad civil canina with minimum cover of €100,000.

UK pet insurance generally does not satisfy Ley 7/2023 because the Spanish law requires Spain-based responsabilidad civil canina specifically. Vet-treatment cover from a UK policy may continue to pay claims for veterinary treatment in Spain (check your UK schedule), but you still need the local civil-liability policy on top. We routinely replace UK pet insurance with a Spanish-compliant Generali policy that meets the law and gives you continuous vet cover.

If your dog bites a person or another animal in Rojales — whether on a walk, at the beach, in a cafe terrace or in the home — the civil-liability section of your policy covers third-party medical bills, lost-earnings claims and the legal defence. Without insurance, you would face the full bill personally and the administrative offence under Ley 7/2023. We always recommend keeping the policy certificate either on your phone or printed and folded into the dog's walking-lead bag — some local police forces in Vega Baja del Segura, Alicante have begun spot-checks.
