(OTCBB: VSUR), a leading provider of pet health insurance and its Get HIP[TM] Health Insurance for Pets program, announced today that the Company now offers pet boarding kennel insurance. The Company will introduce a basic accident/injury plan and a complete accident/injury and illness plan. The insurance premium per day of boarding is $2.00 for coverage for illness or injury during boarding. This policy also includes coverage, while boarded, for an accidental death, with a maximum benefit limit of $250. The insurance premium per day of boarding on the basic injury only plan is a flat $5 for 1 to 7 days and flat $15 for 8 to 30 days. This policy also has a $200 accidental death benefit. For administering the program, the kennel or cattery receives 50% of the premium as a payment collection administration fee with the remaining 50% going to the insurer. Vsurance, Inc. will be the only such provider of this coverage in the United States. "This is a low risk and high demand program, which provides us an opportunity to service a growing desire among numerous pet owners. Further, this low risk program enables Vsurance to amass a database of pets and their owners, looking for comprehensive pet health insurance programs such as our get HIP Health Insurance for Pets program," stated Russell Smith, CEO of Vsurance, Inc.

The maximum policy benefit per any one incident during the boarding period for a dog or cat is $1,500 with no deductible on the illness plan and $1,000 on the injury only plan with only a $150 deductible.
