Petsecure Launches Petset - An Introductory Pet Insurance Option

April 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Petsecure pet insurance has recently launched their newest addition to the Petsecure brand family, Petset pet insurance. This value-priced coverage gives pet owners across Canada a budget-friendly option to ensure that their pets have basic coverage if the unexpected happens.

Petset offers pet owners the choice between Accident Only and Accident/Illness pet insurance protection. Pet owners are reimbursed up to 80% each time they need to make a claim, minus a deductible, and they can visit any licensed veterinarian in Canada.

“We believe it’s very important that pet owners have coverage for accidents and illness, as 1 in 3 pets will require veterinary treatment each year,” says Randy Valpy, President and CEO of Petsecure pet health insurance. “We created Petset as part of our pet insurance offerings because it’s a great way for pet owners to get introduced to coverage through Petsecure and learn how valuable pet insurance truly is for their four-legged friends.”

Petset pet insurance offers more basic coverage than Petsecure’s Secure For Life™, which is the most comprehensive coverage in Canada. Secure For Life™ offers 1 core brand, with 4 accident and illness coverage levels and 3 annual deductible options to choose from. With Petsecure, pet owners can truly customize a plan that fits their pet’s needs and their budget.
