Chubb to Acquire MGA Healthy Paws From Aon

Chubb said it is acquiring managing general agent Healthy Paws from Aon plc.

Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based Chubb has been the exclusive underwriter of Healthy Paws’ pet insurance program for Aon since 2013. Terms of the deal, expected to close this quarter, were not disclosed.

“Together, we will be able to extend the reach and amplify the impact of this esteemed pet insurance brand in a vastly underpenetrated market,” said John Lupica, president of Chubb’s North American Insurance. “As part of Chubb, Healthy Paws will empower more pet owners to fund medical care and navigate the rising costs of veterinary care.”

Jon Harris, president and chief operating officer of Seattle-based Healthy Paws, will continue to lead the business. The companies said their long relationship will support accelerated growth and a seamless transition for employees, customers, and business partners.

Healthy Paws was founded in 2009 and currently serves more than 500,000 dogs and cats in the U.S. The company provides program and claims administration via a digital proprietary platform.
