Car accident? Your pet is covered!

Insurance expert Laura Bennett of Embrace Pet Insurance sends along an interesting tidbit: Progressive car insurance is now including pets in its accident coverage. From the Progressive media release:
The new coverage is included on Progressive’s policies with Collision coverage at no additional cost. It will pay up to $500 if a customer’s dog or cat is hurt or dies as a result of a car accident. Typically, if a person causes an accident, their car insurance policy provides benefits for pets in the other person’s car, but the person’s own pets are not covered. Progressive is not aware of any other car insurance company that provides this type of first-party coverage for pets.
Interesting! And another indication of how businesses are changing to reflect the changing status of pets in our society.
