Today, Armour Insurance announces its partnership with Petline Insurance Company to launch a new pet health insurance product: Pet Shield Insurance. Dog and cat owners from Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan can purchase this new pet insurance online at www.petshield.ca, or by phone at 1-844-421-2121.
Pet Shield believes you should always have the freedom to make decisions about your pet’s care. Our pets play a big role in our well being, and we want to ensure you can do everything possible to protect your well being. That's why Pet Shield has been developed around the idea that protecting our pets’ health is a decision that shouldn’t be based on finances alone.
Veterinary care is necessary, but expensive – on average, pet insurance costs just a few dollars a day, and offers peace of mind knowing your best friend can receive the care they deserve. Pet Shield provides four plan options to choose from to suit the needs of pet owners and their pets.
What’s covered with Pet Shield?
- Up to 80% of your vet bill, including the exam fees and taxes
- Dental coverage – cost of annual cleanings or problems with the teeth or gums
- Medical devices
- Boarding/kennel fees
- Alternative treatments such as acupuncture or massage
- Accidents or illnesses
- Diagnostics
- Lost pet advertising
- Cremation/burial costs and an in-memoriam donation
- Medications
- X-rays
- Holiday cancellation
- Emergency care and hospitalization
- Surgeries
- Behavioural therapy
- Secure 4 includes wellness coverage that can be used for routine care (vaccines, annual check-ups, etc.)
Pet Shield's plans include special coverage, as well as coverage for alternative treatments, behavioural therapy, routine dental, and additional member benefits. For more information on types of coverage, visit Pet Shield's Plans and Coverages page, and select whether you're looking for dog or cat insurance.
