OnePack Plan Pet Insurance Launches in Canada
TORONTO, May 5, 2025 – OnePack Plan is proud to announce its entry into the Canadian market, offering employers the option to include pet insurance as an employee benefit. With 58% of Canadian households owning a dog or cat, but only 2% of workplaces offering pet insurance, OnePack Plan aims to bridge this gap.
The insurance provides affordable, payroll-deducted coverage for cats and dogs, easing the financial burden of veterinary costs. “The average veterinary visit for an accident or illness can cost up to $1,000,” said Michelle Yates, EVP of Business Development at OnePack Plan in Canada. “By offering OnePack Plan, employers can help alleviate this worry and make veterinary care more financially accessible.”
Research by OnePack Plan found that 50% of Canadian pet parents are interested in employer-offered pet insurance, demonstrating a significant demand. Financial strain due to unexpected veterinary costs is common, with 42% of pet parents making financial sacrifices for pet care and 40% missing work due to their pet’s health.
OnePack Plan offers comprehensive coverage with optional wellness and preventative care add-ons, no breed restrictions, and coverage for pre-existing conditions after 365 days of continuous coverage. The plan integrates with existing benefits administration software, simplifying the onboarding process for HR professionals and enrollment for employees.
“We’ve seen a growing focus on wellness in the workplace and know pets play a significant role in improving mental health,” Yates said. “Implementing policies that show empathy for pet parents can be a game-changer for employee satisfaction and retention.”
OnePack Plan is underwritten by Northbridge General Insurance Corporation and distributed by PTZ Insurance Services Ltd. and Société d’Assurances Collectives (Sodaco) Inc. in Quebec. For more information, visit www.onepackplan.ca or www.onepackplan.ca/fr.
