Petsecure pet health insurance has announced that they have reached the $100 million mark in claims paid to pet owners across Canada.

In 2009 alone, Petsecure has paid over 56,000 claims contributing to this total. Some of the most common conditions that Petsecure members claim for include gastro intestinal problems, respiratory problems and cruciate problems.

The top three claims that Petsecure paid in 2009 totaled over $26,000. This included a claim of over $12,000 for a Tabby that had a tumour and associated conditions, nearly $7,900 towards a Newfoundland with an immune mediated disease and almost $6,000 towards a Basset Hound that also had a tumour.

Petsecure has been providing pet insurance to pet owners across the country since 1989.
