In a small city like Pekalongan, the challenges are greater because public awareness of protection is still minimal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Intan, there are two common conditions that are often encountered:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potential customers already know about insurance, but are hesitant to buy because they don&#8217;t understand the details of the benefits and risks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers who already have a policy, but do not fully understand the product they own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s important for an agent to understand the product and communicate it honestly. That way, customers can truly experience the benefits of their policy,&#8221; said Intan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, Intan always makes <\/span><b>insurance literacy education <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as a key pillar in their interactions. They don&#8217;t just talk about products, but also broaden their knowledge about diseases, hospitals, and doctor recommendations to provide more relevant support to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>From Customer to Top Agent of the Year<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intan&#8217;s journey into the insurance world began when she became a Sun Life customer.

Dogs and cats are no longer just companions; they are now treated like family members. This has raised public awareness of the importance of protecting the health and well-being of pets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phenomenon has encouraged a number of general insurance companies to introduce pet insurance products. Chairman of the Indonesian General Insurance Association (AAUI), <\/span><b>Budi Herawan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, explained that the main factor in the birth of this product was the increasing public concern for animal health, especially dogs and cats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBesides the awareness factor, the growth of the middle class, the trend<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pet humanization.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;And the increasingly expensive cost of animal care has also triggered the development of animal insurance products,&#8221; said Budi (21\/8\/2025).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Benefits of Pet Insurance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With insurance protection, pet owners can have more peace of mind in managing risks, from medical costs to the risk of loss due to illness or accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical services for animals are now increasingly comprehensive. Veterinary clinics and hospitals now offer vaccinations, chronic disease treatment, and even surgeries, all of which can cost millions of rupiah. Insurance offers a solution so owners can continue to provide the best possible care without the burden of unexpected expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cInsurance policies help pet owners guarantee quality care while protecting their finances,\u201d Budi explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prospects and Challenges of Pet Insurance in Indonesia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AAUI assesses the prospects for pet insurance in Indonesia as quite promising. The number of households owning pets continues to grow, particularly in urban areas. Urban lifestyles that place pets as an integral part of daily life further reinforce this need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, educational challenges remain. Public awareness of the benefits of pet insurance is relatively low. However, with intensive promotion, product innovation, and collaboration with animal lover communities and veterinary clinics, the potential for pet insurance development in Indonesia is believed to be wide open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Examples of Pet Insurance Products in Indonesia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several general insurance companies have already introduced pet insurance products, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PT AXA Insurance Indonesia<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guarantee dogs and cats with official certificates (PERKIN for dogs, ICA for cats).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of protection:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death &amp; permanent disability due to accident (Rp. 2.5 million \u2013 Rp. 25 million).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical expenses due to accidents (Rp. 500 thousand \u2013 Rp. 5 million).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third party legal liability, including rabies costs (maximum Rp. 25 million).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age of animals that can be insured: 30 days \u2013 10 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PT Asuransi Simas Insurtech<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special products for dogs and cats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protection includes:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death due to an accident.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss due to theft by force\/force.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal liability towards third parties.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coverage value: IDR 5 million \u2013 IDR 50 million.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presence <\/span><b>pet insurance <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a modern solution for dog and cat lovers in Indonesia.
