Petlove and Health for Pet, a branch of the Porto Seguro business group and leader in the animal health insurance segment, announced the conclusion of an agreement that will combine their operations within the Brazilian market. After this transaction, Porto Seguro will hold a 13.5% interest in Petlove and, in return, will transfer the ownership rights of Health for Pet to the e-commerce company. This alliance will also result in the launch of Porto.Pet, a service that will replace Health for Pet's insurance activities and become part of the Petlove ecosystem, whilst having Porto Seguro as astrategic shareholder. Porto.Pet is currently responsible for 41 thousand lives in its customer base and, after merging with Petlove, the company accelerated its expansion plan for national coverage, meeting an important criteria established by stakeholders. The possibility of verticalization, as well as the creation of its own service units for pets, are factors being considered. With this agreement, Porto.Pet should become one of the largest integrated pet care networks in Brazil.
