Exclusive Pet Insurance Offer Now Available to AARP Members
Newtown Square, PA (PRWEB) October 06, 2014 -- Petplan, providers of North America’s best-loved pet insurance, launched special offers and discounted rates exclusively for AARP members.
AARP members will receive a minimum online discount of 10% on their monthly premiums as well as numerous “pawesome” perks upon sign up and renewal, including:
• a dedicated customer service team
• a $35 Petplan Visa® Prepaid Card,1 a wellness benefit that can be used toward annual veterinary exams and other routine pet health care expenses
• a complimentary subscription to Petplan’s award-winning pet health magazine, fetch!, featuring dedicated content written especially for AARP members
In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month this October, Petplan will give AARP members (and homeless pets!) another tail-wagging reward. Petplan will pay $25 towards adoption fees for AARP members who adopt a shelter pet and protect them with Petplan by October 31. Not only will homeless pets find fur-ever homes but also a two-legged companion they can love unconditionally.
“The decision to add pet insurance as our first pet-focused benefit was clear,” said AARP Services Inc. senior vice president Angela Jones. “With more people considering their pets to be a part of the family, we saw a need to help members care for their pets. After conducting a thorough review of providers, Petplan emerged as the clear leader for offering the simplest and most comprehensive coverage. By putting pet health at the forefront of everything they do and making our members a priority with dedicated customer service, Petplan is delivering a key value for AARP members. Their reputation for providing superior value plans and top-rated customer service makes Petplan an excellent option for members seeking the added financial security of pet insurance.”
According to Petplan, every six seconds a pet owner is faced with a vet bill in excess of $1,000. This unexpected expense can be challenging for any family. Petplan’s pet insurance offers protection for both the family pet and budget, allowing members to enjoy the benefits of pet ownership without the worry of unforeseen medical expenses.
Petplan co-founders and co-CEO’s, Chris and Natasha Ashton, applaud AARP’s commitment to helping their members get the most out of life. “Just as AARP aims to increase the quality of life of its members, we strive to do the same for the pets we protect,” said Natasha Ashton. “This offer goes beyond providing financial savings. It allows Petplan to be a resource for members, giving them the support and tools they need to keep their pets thriving into old age. With the unconditional love and companionship our pets give us, it’s only natural that we want to give them the best possible care in return.”
“According to APPA, 70% of baby boomers own pets,” said Chris Ashton. “The opportunity to protect a massive number of pets, and to keep them happy and healthy long into their senior years, is not only a game changer in the industry but an honor for Petplan. We are committed to showing AARP members why we are the top-rated customer service team in North America, and how simple protecting their pets’ health with transparent, affordable coverage can be.”
