The pet insurance service, which was previously only offered to dog owners by the Ayala-led fintech, will soon be extended to cats.

According to GCash Head of New Business Neil Trinidad, pets can get up to P100,000 in medical reimbursement, burial help, owner’s liability coverage, or owner’s protection when legal obligations are incurred as a result of a pet’s behavior, through Pet Insure through the GInsure marketplace.

Users may access the app’s GInsure marketplace to acquire pet insurance, which costs as little as P650.
