(Winnipeg, Manitoba) Petsecure pet health insurance is celebrating September as the fourth annual Pet Health Insurance Month. By teaming up with other organizations in the industry, Petsecure’s main goal is to educate Canadian pet owners on the importance of pet health insurance as part of responsible pet parenting. Due to the positive response and past success of this event, NAPHIA has created two additional contests to promote pet health insurance across the United States and Canada.
“Although just over 1% of Canadian pets are insured, we continue to see significant annual growth in our organization,”
in uncertain economic times.”
Huge medical advances have been made in veterinary medicine in the last few decades. We are now able to care for our pets better than ever before. However, one in three pets still experience an illness or injury that will require veterinary treatment each year and caring for an ill pet can become costly, that’s where pet health insurance can help. Over 67% of pet owners visit their veterinary practice more than their own doctor, so it’s no surprise that pet health insurance continues to evolve and gain popularity year after year.
To celebrate Pet Health Insurance Month, pet owners are encouraged to enter Petsecure’s contest at select veterinary practices across Canada and on their website at www.petsecure.com. This year, Petsecure’s grand prize is valued at $4,000, their largest prize package to date. One lucky winner will take home: a one year Petsecure Secure 3 policy, a 40” Sony LCD television courtesy of Petsecure, a one-year supply of pet food courtesy of Purina™, an Apple iPod courtesy of London Drugs, a one-year subscription to Modern Dog and Dogs in Canada magazines, a dog carrying case courtesy of Ducks Unlimited, $300 gift certificate towards any veterinary service courtesy of PetLynx and a $200 gift certificate to Fetch and Pounce.
“The grand prize was absolutely wonderful,” states Terry Braglin, last year’s grand prize winner of Pet Health Insurance Month. “When I won, it was a gift for the entire family. My dog got pet health insurance, my cats got Purina cat food, I got a brand new iPod and my husband claimed the remote for the wonderful TV! I have read my Modern Dog and Dogs in Canada magazines from cover to cover, they are fantastic. Thank you to Petsecure and all of their partners for providing such an amazing grand prize for such a wonderful contest.”
