Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Introduces Comprehensive Pet Insurance Policy for Pet Cats
Pune, August 9, 2023: Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, one of the leading private general insurers of India, today announced ‘Pet Insurance Policy’, which is an insurance cover which will now provide insurance protection for pet cats in addition to pet dogs. The Company was the first insurer in the country to introduce comprehensive pet insurance for dogs. The Pet Insurance Policy covers 35+ breeds of dogs and all breeds of cats. The cover is available on an individual as well as group basis and can be bought for annual, short term and long-term periods of up to 3 years. The revised policy brings you greater flexibility and helps you take better care of your furry friends.
The policy is designed in such a way that it allows customers to tailor the coverage according to their specific needs. The premium would vary depending on the age, size, cover, and the sum insured opted for. To simplify the policy structure and cater to different types of pets, the policy classifies dogs into four categories – small, medium, large, and giant. Similarly, cats are categorized into indigenous and exotic breeds. The policy also covers pets used for commercial purpose as well. This comprehensive policy includes a range of essential covers to protect your furry friend, which includes coverage for Surgery Expenses and Hospitalization costs to ensure that your pet receives quality medical care. Additionally, the policy offers Mortality Benefits, Terminal Disease Coverage, Long Term Care, OPD Cover, and Third-Party Liability protection. In the unfortunate event of theft or straying, the policy covers Advertising Costs for locating the insured dog or cat. Moreover, it rewards the individual who successfully helps trace the lost or stolen pet.
The policy also covers vaccination failures, providing additional peace of mind for pet owners. To make the policy more affordable, various discount options are available like pet owners can enjoy discounts for RFID tagging, submitting Fitness/Medical certificates, insuring multiple pets, and opting for long-term coverage. Furthermore, the policy offers a built-in cumulative bonus that increases with each claim-free year, rewarding responsible pet ownership.
Commenting on the product announcement, Mr. Tapan Singhel, MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance said, “At Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, we understand the needs of our customers, and we constantly strive to address their worries. Pets are part of our family; we hold a deep emotional bond with them, and our desire to provide them with the best care possible is natural.
