APOLLO Insurance, a leading Canadian digital insurance broker, has announced the launch of its pet insurance product.
This new offering will be available to its “tens of thousands of customers” through a strategic partnership with Petsecure, one of Canada’s pioneering pet health insurance providers, according to the Coverager.
The decision to launch this product stems from the growing need to help customers manage unexpected veterinary expenses.
With the increase in pet ownership across Canada—projected to reach 28.5 million pets by 2025—APOLLO aims to ease the financial burden for pet owners by providing comprehensive pet insurance alongside its existing tenant insurance offering.
APOLLO is a digital insurance broker that leverages technology to offer various types of insurance products through an easy-to-use platform.
The company has earned a strong reputation for its digital-first approach, providing clients with seamless access to tenant insurance and now, pet insurance.
The newly launched pet insurance is designed to help pet owners cover the costs of veterinary treatments when their pets fall ill or are injured. By partnering with Petsecure, APOLLO offers pet owners peace of mind, ensuring they can afford the necessary care for their pets without worrying about steep medical bills.
Petsecure, a brand of Petline Insurance Company, is Canada’s first licensed insurance company focused exclusively on pet insurance. They have partnered with other well-known companies such as Desjardins and Sonnet to offer pet insurance services across the country.
In a statement, APOLLO Founder and CEO Jeff McCann said, “Pets are an integral part of our customers’ lives and unexpected vet costs can be crippling. With pet ownership steadily increasing in Canada and expected to reach 28.5 million pets in 2025, offering pet insurance alongside our core offering of tenant insurance will make the lives of Canadian pet owners easier. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Petsecure to provide our customers the peace of mind they can get their pets back to their happy, healthy selves without worrying about the financial burden of care, when treatment is needed.”
Additionally, Raegan Ahlbaum, AVP Petline Operations, commented, “APOLLO’s digital first approach makes them an ideal partner for Petsecure. This partnership will bring pet insurance to more families, helping them invest in their pet’s health and well-being.”
