I'm slightly behind the curve on the first part of this news.
A few weeks ago, the Hartville Group announced it had partnered with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as the exclusive pet insurance partner for the association with over a million supporters (wow!).
As part of its significant commitment to the ASPCA, which guarantees at least $1 million over the next three years, Hartville is contributing $1 for each quotation and $5 for each enrollment.
More details are available here.
As for my second piece of news about this, Hartville has also have developed ASPCA specific policies - in other words, ASPCA Pet Insurance. There doesn't seem to be anything online yet (although it was supposed to be released last night) but I'm sure it's coming any time soon. I'll update this site when I see it announced formally.
Finally, for the insurance geeks out there, Hartville have a new underwriter, United States Fire Insurance Company, which is a division of Crum & Forster (AM Best Rating A-). This moves Hartville's pet insurance policies from surplus lines to admitted status (as I said, this was for insurance geeks!).
