Ask Chuck the Insurance Expert: Pet Injury Insurance Brings Peace of Mind

Chuck Mozingo is ready to answer even the toughest insurance questions.

Does your insurance cover injuries to your precious four-legged passengers?

Dear Chuck,

We were recently on a family RV trip and got into a bit of a fender-bender; poor Fido ended up with a broken leg! Are his medical bills covered?

Sincerely,
Dogshow Dave

Dear Dave,

I’m so sorry to hear about Fido, and hope he’s okay, along with the rest of your family. Pets are such a significant part of families today. Many of us will take our four-legged family members camping this year.

With a many RV policies, pet Injury coverage is included as part of your comprehensive and collision coverage. A Progressive policy, for instance, would cover Fido for up to $1,000 of veterinary bills and medicine for injuries related to the accident.

If you frequently travel with your pets, ask your insurance provider or local agent if you can get pet injury coverage. It’s one more way your insurance company can make sure you have the peace of mind to enjoy the great outdoors.

Here’s hoping that Fido can play fetch again soon!
