Pets Plus Us Launches Partnership with Canadian Automobile Association (CAA)

OAKVILLE, Ontario, March 1, 2022 /CNW/ -- PTZ Insurance Services Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Crum & Forster Insurance, and Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) are partnering to provide pet insurance to pet parents under the Pets Plus Us^® brand. The partnership leverages the strengths of CAA's eight member clubs across Canada and furthers both organizations' shared vision of responsible pet ownership focused on pet health and wellbeing.

Pets Plus Us, which launched in 2012, is a dedicated provider of pet insurance across the U.S. and Canada. Today it is the pet insurance partner to over 250 affinity and member organizations in North America. The partnership with CAA is a welcome addition to this network.

"CAA understands that pet owners want to do all they can to prepare for the unexpected health and wellness needs of their pets," said Eric Coulson, Vice President of Global Distribution, Crum & Forster Pet Insurance Group™. "That is what makes them a great partner to bring awareness and make our pet insurance accessible to pet parents."

As more people acquire pets, responsible pet ownership, including pet insurance, will play an increasingly critical role. By being prepared for unexpected veterinary bills, pet parents can rest assured knowing they can have assistance in paying for their animals' health needs.

"We are excited to partner with Pets Plus Us," said Frank Fotia, chief operating officer at CAA National. "They have a proven brand offering first-class pet health insurance and wellness products to provide peace of mind to pet parents."
