New Pet Insurance Accessibility for Canadians

Pets Plus Us, a premier pet insurance provider, is partnering with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) to extend vital pet insurance coverage to small businesses across Canada. This strategic alliance is designed to make pet insurance more accessible to over 100,000 small businesses and their employees, impacting nearly one million Canadians in total.

Eric Coulson, the Senior Managing Director for Insurance Growth at Pets Plus Us, emphasized the organization's commitment to ensuring that pet owners have access to affordable and comprehensive insurance. He stated, "Pets Plus Us is dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of Canada's furry companions and we're proud to be partnering with CFIB to serve the small business community."

For many Canadian households that own pets, unexpected veterinary costs can be a significant financial burden. With the average vet visit for an accident or illness costing more than $500, and surgeries potentially exceeding $1,000, the necessity for insurance becomes evident. This is particularly critical as nearly 60% of Canadian households have at least one pet, bringing the potential for unforeseen medical expenses into the financial conversation.

Benefits of the Partnership

Through this collaboration, CFIB members, their employees, and their families can access:

• - A special discount on pet insurance policies from Pets Plus Us.
• - Coverage up to $15,000 per year for veterinary care, including treatment for eligible accidents and illnesses, consultations, emergency care, and more.
• - Complementary services, such as 24/7 emergency telehealth support, Pet Poison Helpline®, and pet bereavement support.

Dan Kelly, President and CEO of CFIB, noted, “We recognize the growing demand for pet insurance across the country and are excited to partner with Pets Plus Us to deliver ongoing value to CFIB members, their employees, and their families.”*

These benefits are designed to alleviate some of the financial stress faced by pet owners in the small business sector. By providing accessible insurance options, employees can secure the best care for their pets without the looming concern of soaring veterinary bills.
