Heads Up Fur-Parents! GCash Now Offers Insurance for your
Pets
Dogs are one of the
best blessings humans can ever ask for. Being greeted with an excited,
tail-wagging, tongue-sticking-out pupper is the ultimate mood booster and
stress reliever on a busy day. As the saying goes, we don’t deserve dogs for
always being there for us. Where we see them as an additional companion, to
them we are their world.
However, with a
great love for fur babies, comes great responsibility. Whether
you are a long-time or new fur parent, you would know it takes a large amount
of upkeep to care for your four-legged friends. Raising dogs can be challenging
as they require a lot of love, attention, and physical care.
Being a good fur
parent is more than just giving baths; it also entails taking them to proper
groomers. It is more than providing basic care of food and water, but also
ensuring they get the proper nutrients. It is more than deworming and
anti-rabies vaccines, but also giving extra supplements and check-ups with the
vet when necessary.
As the world opens
up and gets back on its feet, people and dogs alike are getting more exposure
to the outdoors, which increases health and safety risks. Fortunately, GCash,
everyone’s go-to app for payments and financial services, is making moves to
support pet owners in showing their love for their dogs by offering affordable,
convenient, and comprehensive pet insurance.
“We want to
emphasize pet insurance as part of essential pet care to give dog parents a
sense of security in cases of unfortunate events. GCash (through GInsure) makes
pet insurance more accessible, convenient and affordable, so pet owners can
give their fur babies the best protection and care,” said Winsley Royce Bangit,
GCash Chief Customer Officer.
With Pet Insure,
you can protect both your dogs and yourself as a pet owner, to provide the best
care in the face of unexpected circumstances without having to break the bank
for every visit to the vet. For only Php267 per month, you can receive full
year coverage with 3-in-1 insurance products, and a maximum coverage of Php400,000
for you and your dog. Packages include several items to secure your peace of
mind such as:
●
Medical Reimbursement: In cases
that your dog will need to undergo check-ups, tests/scans, surgery, GInsure
will cover the expenses based on the covered amount of your insurance plan
●
Cruciate Ligament Injuries: These
are extremely painful knee joint injuries/ruptures that your dog may possibly
get due to repeated trauma or arthritic disease. In these cases, your chosen
Pet Insure plan can also cover it so long as it is not an intentionally
inflicted injury.
●
Burial Assistance: In the
unfortunate circumstance your dog will be needed to be put down due to sickness
and/or old age, GInsure’s Pet Insure can help alleviate the added stress of
costly burial services
●
Owner’s Liability: It cannot
always be avoided that your fur baby can cause some accidents. Your insurance
can help cover any legal liabilities to 3rd parties due to your dog’s actions
As with all GCash
services, getting your pet insurance is convenient and hassle-free. In order to
qualify, you will need to have a fully verified GCash account, proof of
Philippine citizenship or legal residence for foreigners, and a house dog
between the ages of 6 months to 8 years.
