Life by Petto app provides health plans for pets in Metro Manila

Owning a dog in the Philippines roughly costs PhP12,000 to PhP50,000 a year. This means providing the right essentials like food, regular check-ups with the vet, grooming, and preparing for contingencies.

But for an experienced pet parent or a newly christened one, taking care of another living being can take a big chunk out of their  finances. Responsible pet parents need to plan ahead for what their fur baby might need because the commitment to look after them is long-term.

Founded by pet parents with a similar dilemma, Life By Petto is the first app-based, pet health plan service  that provides affordable subscriptions to support health and wellness services from partner veterinarians, clinics, and hospitals within Metro Manila.

Life by Petto aims to provide preventive and quality care for pets, especially since there is a gap in the local market for pet health and wellness services—despite the massive increase in pet owners in recent years.

For only P1,200 a month, Life by Petto’s basic health plan covers a pet’s primary health and wellness needs including diagnostics, vaccines, common illnesses, and accidents—services that most pets and their owners would greatly benefit from.

My Petto Plan Add-ons also let owners top-up their basic plan to cover additional services including minor to major surgeries like dental or spay/neuter services, cancer treatment, hospitalization, and other non-common illnesses.

Life by Petto accepts cats and dogs from three months onwards, no matter the breed (aspins and puspins included), and as long as they’re in good health upon registration.

Through the app, the pet parent can customize the plan they  want for their  fur babies, manage their balance, check available vet clinics, and file claims whenever and wherever they may be.
