What:
Travel Insurance provider battleface today announced its partnership with BringFido to provide pet travel insurance coverage. Designed specifically to protect pets and their owners while traveling domestically or internationally, the partnership will offer BringFido customers with protection options if the unexpected happens to pets and their owners while traveling together.
Why:
There has been a huge surge in pet ownership in the U.S in recent years, with 70% of households owning some type of pet1. As pet owners increasingly consider their furry friends as part of their families, it is no surprise that more and more people are choosing to take their pets with them when they travel. As exciting as it is to bring your pet on a trip, it’s important to be prepared for unexpected, costly accidents or illnesses.
How:
- Pet Travel Insurance: This package includes Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, and Pet Medical coverages. Pet Medical provides up to $2,000 in veterinary benefits (after $100 deductible), and $500 in Pet Return coverage to bring your pet home in case you get sick while traveling and cannot accompany them. The Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption coverages include a unique covered reason that allows you to cancel or interrupt the trip in the event your pet becomes critically ill or dies, before or during the trip.
- Pet Damage Protection: If, while staying at a vacation rental home or hotel, your pet accidentally causes damage to the room, Pet Damage Protection provides up to $1,500 worth of coverage. Accidental damage caused by humans is also covered.
