Pets can now be insured too

As the pandemic continues to trigger emotional and mental well-being, Filipinos have turned to their dogs for a sense of companionship and motivation. Apart from recording the highest ownership of dogs in Asia last year, the Philippines also posted the most number of Google searches on pet adoption and pets for sale.

As more Filipinos become pet owners, the demand for dog-related products and services also increases, with pet insurance being one of more frequently spoken about topics in community groups. However, the lack of awareness on the availability of pet insurance keeps dog owners from understanding how it can actually benefit the dog and the owner.
