Canadians embrace the love of their pets, choosing to help protect their health for a longer, happier life together with Spot Pet Insurance, which is available now across Canada
TORONTO, ON–Spot Pet Insurance, a rapidly growing, digital-first pet insurance provider, has expanded its services to the Canadian pet-loving community. According to the Canadian Animal Health Institute, an estimated 8.3 million Canadian households have a cat, and 8.2 million have a dog.
“Only three percent of pet parents have insurance for their furry friends in Canada. Spot’s mission is to help protect pet parents while continuing to help build strong communities of pet lovers. Through pet health-focused education, we are spreading the importance of peace of mind, to enjoy many years of pet health together,” said Trey Ferro, CEO at Spot.
“Spot has embraced the power of tech as an added advantage to the claims process. Our team of top insurance and digital experts ensure that not only does taking care of pets have a fresh, new perspective, but that it’s a personal experience as well,” Ferro said. “We want to change the narrative on pet insurance because we believe that it’s as essential as getting an insurance plan for your actual children.”
Spot offers best-in-class plans that help pet parents make better choices for their dogs’ and cats’ health. Supporting happier pets and pet parents with the coverage they both will love, Spot provides cat insurance and dog insurance coverage for illnesses and accidents and reimburses actual vet costs.
