(London.CityRegions.com, July 20, 2013 ) London, UK -- Although the number of people who sign up to insure their pet through their employer remains small, more companies are starting to offer pet insurance policies for their employees through Veterinary Pet Insurance, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and other organizations to help animal lovers pay for medical costs for their dogs, cats and other pets.
California-based VPI has a 61 percent niche market for selling pet insurance, but only half a million pets are insured nationwide, while there are 165 million pets in the United States. This means there is a huge growth potential in the country to help pet owners insure their pets and help pay for routine shots, procedures, and medications such as for heart worm, or other elderly pet diseases such as diabetes.
Nevada’s largest employer, MGM Resorts International, based in Las Vegas, added pet insurance in 2006. Melissa Friedman, corporate benefits manager says benefits packages include pet care. Chipotle, based in New York, began offering benefits in 2002. About 100 of the fast-food chain’s 3,000 eligible employees get the insurance, and the company pays $10 per pet for up the three pets. One pet costs between $10 and $57 a month, depending on coverage plans and deductibles.
With the cost of medication and health care going up for both humans and pets, insurance is relatively affordable compared to paying for treatments up front and out of pocket.
