PurinaCare Insurance Services Inc. Adds New Plans, New Co-Insurance Levels, and New Accident Only Policy to Pet Insurance Plans

PurinaCare Insurance Services Inc. announces new, more affordable pet health insurance plans to cover accidents and illnesses involving your pet. PurinaCare® now offers three co-insurance levels 20%, 30% and 40% and adds an Accident Only Policy that is priced at $9 a month for cats and $12.50 a month for dogs.

Pet health care costs are rising and pet health insurance helps to defray those costs. A recent Associated Press - Petside.com poll finds 41% of pet owners surveyed are worried they wouldn't be able to pay for the cost of veterinary care if their pet became ill. Accidents can happen at any time and those unexpected expenses may be difficult to cover. PurinaCare's Accident Only policy offers high-quality comprehensive insurance and provides peace of mind should an accident occur.

"Our new co-insurance options make pet insurance more affordable than ever, and the PurinaCare Accident Only Plan introduces a low priced option to help reassure pet owners that only want coverage for accidents," Dr. Bill Craig, DVM, Chief Medical and Underwriting Director of PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance said. "When an accident or illness occurs, emergency care might cost several thousand dollars. With these plans, pet owners can have the peace of mind of knowing PurinaCare can help offset their costs of care."
