Sri Lanka Insurance, has yet again introduced a novel product named ‘Petsurance’. 

This product is being launched coinciding with the World Animal Day. It is a comprehensive insurance solution provided for pet owners to ensure financial protection for their pets given the need for medical treatment expenses. 

Petsurance offers medical insurance coverage for sudden illnesses and sickness, except for congenital and pre-existing conditions. It also provides coverage for accidental injuries and it will cover a maximum of Rs. 550,000 a year.

This insurance cover would offer pet owners access to medical attention for their pets without the burden of excessive costs. The company is aiming to provide a safety net for pet owners, allowing them to provide the best care for their companion animals via this insurance scheme.

The initial stage of Petsurance will focus on pet dogs. It is expected to be extended to other animals if the ‘pet project’ succeeds.

Randi Foundation – A Strong Voice For Animal Welfare Founder President Chrishanti Perera, was instrumental in identifying the need for pet insurance. Understanding the market need for pet insurance, Sri Lanka Insurance developed this valuable product – Petsurance to enhance the welfare of the pets of the country.
