“On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave me four freckles, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.”
I have unfortunate news for all of you bird owners out there—your bird isn’t considered a pet by some insurance companies, and with that in mind I’ve chosen to change the words in our favorite Christmas carol to: Four Collie Dogs.
Pets are really just a part of our family, and we often take them with us when we travel. With this in mind, Progressive has chosen to add pet coverage as part of your auto insurance policy. They offer up to a thousand dollars of coverage for your dog or cat if he is injured in a car accident, or even in the event of a fire or theft. The best news is that it’s free! correct. Progressive pet injury coverage is automatically included in your collision coverage.
Let’s say you’ve been in an accident and can use collision coverage to repair your car; Well, you can use pet injury coverage for your dog or cat as well to help offset the cost of vet bills. If the pet is not owned by you, but a relative who lives with you, the same coverage applies
Again, pet injury coverage is included with your collision coverage, meaning there is no additional cost if you choose to use it or not.
Now it is important to remember that this is not pet insurance. Progressive’s Pet Injury Cover provides vet coverage for your dog or cat’s bill from injuries that result from accidents when they are in your vehicle. Pet insurance is the coverage that will pay your vet bills when your pet is sick or injured. With most pet insurance companies, you will pay the bill and be reimbursed later by the pet insurance company. Pet insurance is similar to pet health insurance; Many plans have deductibles, caps, and even coinsurance. Just like medical insurance, pet insurance does not necessarily cover all of your pet’s medical conditions and it is very important that you make sure you are aware of all the ins and outs of the policy before making a purchase. ABC Insurance Services does not offer pet insurance.
With progressive pet injuries, coverage is included in collision coverage directly. Progressive auto insurance is one of the very few policies that provide this type of coverage. Remember that your dogs and cats are covered for up to a thousand dollars in veterinary fees when they are injured in a car accident.
Remember to cover your pet injury the next time you travel Four collie dogs.
