No Debate When It Comes to Our Pets' Health - Lifetime of Care Provided With PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As the nation continues to debate human health care, PurinaCare® Pet Health Insurance is now providing high-quality, comprehensive pet health insurance to pet owners from coast to coast.

Now approved to sell health insurance policies for dogs and cats in 46 states (with applications pending in the four remaining states), PurinaCare announced today it has added Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina and the District of Columbia.

People love their pets like a member of the family and we believe no pet owner should be forced to let their wallets dictate the appropriate care when their dog or cat has an unexpected accident or illness,¯ said David Goodnight, DVM, President and Chief Operating Officer of PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance. PurinaCare helps give pet owners peace of mind that their beloved dog or cat is protected and will receive and have access to high-quality care in the event any unforeseen issues arise.¯

PurinaCare offers two easy-to-use, comprehensive plans designed to help pet owners provide a lifetime of care for dogs and cats.

  • PurinaCare plus Preventive Care covers eligible accidents and illnesses, as well as routine expenses like annual exams, eligible vaccinations, flea and heartworm preventatives, and dental scaling/polishing.
  • PurinaCare without Preventive Care insures against the unexpected, including eligible accidents and illnesses, even those arising from hereditary conditions.
With either PurinaCare plan, pet owners

  • Choose an annual deductible*;
  • Choose their vet;
  • Are directly reimbursed 80% of eligible expenses1
* The $500 and $1,000 deductible PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance policies have received the American Animal Hospital Association Seal of Acceptance.
