Cebuana Lhullier now offers insurance products for your pets with the launch of insurance for dogs.
Raising pets can be pretty expensive. Aside from their daily meals, you also have to consider the cost of the pets’ regular vet visit for deworming, anti-virus, and anti-rabies shots, among others.
And for some reasons, your pet becomes ill, that’s another expense to deal with.
Of course, we do not mind spending a fortune on our beloved pets because they give us comfort and happiness. Their loyalty, obedience, and sometimes unpredictable nature are what make them the center of our attention.
Caring and loving our dogs sometimes take a different turn when we are forced to face unexpected vet care. In situations such as this, pet insurance can come in handy.
Depending on your insurer, most pet insurance covers not only unexpected illnesses or accidents but other routine care as well.
Owning Dogs Amidst the Pandemic
Speaking of pet insurance, Cebuana Lhuillier, one of the Philippines leading and largest micro-financial service providers and a champion in financial inclusivity and mobility, recently launched its new insurance product for dogs.
The Philippines has one of the highest dog populations in the world, with 11.6 million as of 2020. Furthermore, the Philippines have the highest rate of pet ownership among the Southeast Asian countries at 83%, led by dogs at 67%.
During the pandemic alone, Filipinos’ interest in owning pets grew 88% compared to 2019. With the continuous growth of the pet industry, a big chunk of this is limited to grooming, nutrition, and the like.
With a limited option for health care, pet owners are constantly challenged financially to provide for the medical needs of their furbabies.
This is the inspiration behind Cebuana Lhuillier’s Pet Insurance, a microinsurance product. It was specially made for furbabies which are expected to serve as a welcome respite for dog-owners saddled with large veterinary bills for checkups, procedures, and medical emergencies.
Cebuana Lhuillier Pet Insurance (CLPI)
CLPI provides reimbursement from any veterinary treatment or confinement in a vet hospital in the event of an accident or disease, as well as burial assistance.
Pet Insurance also offers a liability coverage feature when the insured dog causes damage outside the owner’s home.
Aside from that, owners are also insured for personal accidents up to Php 25,000.00. For as low as P1,100.00 for CLPI Basic and P2,400.00 for CLPI Premium, you can get all of these insurance benefits and features for one-year coverage.
