Pet owners spend a whopping $40 billion on their furry friends each year. That’s enough to buy a gallon of gas for every man, woman and child in the United States … 44 times.
Insurance companies haven’t always viewed pets with the same passion as their owners. If you’re in an accident, generally everyone in the car - except your four-legged friend - is covered. Insurance Companies now recognizes Fido and Fifi as family members. Certain Companies now offers a policy with Collision coverage that extends to cats and dogs. The coverage pays up to $500 if your dog or cat is hurt or dies as a result of a car accident. And, best of all, we have companies that offer this coverage free. “We know how much our customers love their dogs and cats. Many of us have pets, too, and we feel the same way,” says Geoff Souser of Progressive. “Progressive has a long history of product and service innovations that prove you can teach an old dog new tricks. Knowing that most people think of their pets as family members, it felt like the right thing to do.” Family is the most important part of the Holidays, let's protect every member of it while we travel.
