ever heard of pet insurance? well, its slowly gaining popularity as some companies are adopting insurance policies for the pets of their employees. it did'n occur to me that animal rights and labor issues will someday cross paths..

i heard about a company that provides collision coverage for their customer's pets. company pays like 500 dollars if a customer's cat or a dog dies or is hurt in a car accident.. not bad.

This is good news for all pet owners especially since most of us treat our pets as family members.

I think this pet insurance thing is just a fad. I have cats and dogs and it never crossed my mind to have them insured even if they're like family to me.

I love my dog but it never crossed my mind to have them insured. I agree with Petmeister; this is just a fad (and a pathetic money-making scheme). Rolling Eyes

if what you're saying is true, that this is just a fad and, worse, a money-making scheme then something ought to be done to correct this. cause i really can see the benefit of having pet insurance.

if properties can be insured, then why not insure our dear pets. pet lovers might as well take advantage of this offer; however, legal implications must be carefully ascertained..

Insuring our pets is quite selfish; I mean, think about it, we all know we're gonna outlive our pets, right? So if we insure them, isn't that just making money out of a tragedy? A selfish profit-making scheme at the expense of our beloved pets?

that's one way to look at it, irvin. but i don't think that's the intention of pet owners. it just means that you value your pets.
