Developed in collaboration with Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (Allianz General), the new offering helps cover unexpected veterinary visitation fees and additional boarding fees if travel disruptions delay the owner’s return home.
The launch addresses a growing concern among modern pet owners the anxiety of leaving beloved pets behind while travelling. With Malaysia’s pet ownership and pet care spending on the rise, Petsavers said the new plan fills an overlooked gap in the market: protecting pets when owners are away.
Solving a Real Problem for Pet Owners
Petsavers Insurance focuses on what matters most to many pet owners, knowing their cat or dog remains cared for if something unexpected happens during the trip. Priced at RM32 per policy, the plan is intended to be accessible and affordable for everyday Malaysians. “Many pet owners tell us that even while on holiday, they worry about what is happening back home with their pets,” said Amanda Chong, Founder and CEO of Petsavers.
“Petsavers Insurance was created to solve a genuine emotional and practical concern. It gives pet owners greater confidence to travel, knowing their pets have an added layer of protection.”
She added that working with Allianz General gives customers added trust and assurance. “Allianz General brings world-class underwriting expertise and claims support, making this solution even stronger for Malaysian pet owners.”
Allianz Malaysia on the Partnership
“Petsavers Insurance represents our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address customers’ needs. This product not only provides comprehensive coverage for unexpected veterinary expenses but also includes accidental coverage for pet owners, offering a dual layer of protection,” said Linda Lor, Allianz General Chief Retail Officer.
For many pet owners, pets are cherished members of the family. Pets have been proven to offer emotional support, alleviate stress and help combat loneliness, in addition to promoting physical activity.
“With Petsavers Insurance, pet owners are empowered to provide the best care for their pets when they travel without their pets, while ensuring peace of mind and security,” Linda added.
