BOSTON, November 15, 2017 – From everyday accidents to more serious health issues, the costs of pet care can add up. Pet parents countrywide can now turn to Liberty Mutual Insurance to protect their pets with customized coverage plans which matter most when unexpected expenses arise around preventative healthcare, accidents or injuries. As an added value and through a new partnership with Crum & Forster Pet Insurance GroupTM, provider of Hartville Pet Insurance, Liberty Mutual customers can receive up to a 10 percent discount on pet insurance and an additional 10 percent discount for multiple pets.

Pets are often seen as part of the family; in fact, pet owners view themselves as more than just “owners” – the majority (82 percent) of pet insurance customers consider themselves “pet parents.” Pet insurance is growing in popularity as consumers try to give their pets the best and healthiest lives possible.  The market in the U.S. is expected to reach $1 billion by 2019, with the number of dogs and cats insured reaching almost two million. Each year, one in three pets need emergency care, and in 2016 alone $15.95 billion was spent on vet care for pets in the U.S. By offering pet insurance as a convenient option for Liberty Mutual customers, pet parents will have more access to care with fewer financial barriers to veterinary services.

“Pet health insurance is an important option for pet parents to help make sure their dog or cat is covered when the unexpected happens,” said Chad Lovell, vice president and senior managing director of Strategic Partnerships, U.S. Consumer Markets, at Liberty Mutual Insurance. “We want our customers to have the most protection possible and are providing even more value through bundled policies and a pet insurance discount.  Our goal is to make pet healthcare more accessible and affordable through this new partnership.” 

Policies are provided by Crum & Forster Pet Insurance Group™ through its licensed agency, and include:

  • Accident and injury coverage including treatment for swallowed objects, broken bones, toxic ingestions, cuts, burns, and more.
  • Illness coverage includes treatment for serious conditions, like diabetes or cancer, as well as minor conditions, like an upset stomach or an ear infection.
  • Preventative coverage, an add-on option, reimburses a scheduled amount for a list of services that help keep your pet healthy, like annual exams and vaccines.
