Veterinary clinics across Canada will have greater access to customized insurance and employee benefits through a new partnership. Western Financial Group has partnered with the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and l’Association des médecins vétérinaires du Québec (AMVQ).

The partnership gives veterinary professionals access to commercial insurance, employee benefits, and other risk management services.

The agreement makes Western Financial Group a preferred insurance provider for CVMA and AMVQ members. In Quebec, AMVQ members will receive support through HED Courtier en assurance, a Western-affiliated insurance broker.

“The CVMA is pleased to partner with Western Financial Group to offer our members insurance and benefits solutions tailored to today’s veterinary practice,’ says Tracy Fisher, CVMA president.

“The AMVQ is proud to offer its members insurance and benefits solutions with Western, thanks to its partnership with the CVMA,” says Valérie Bissonnette, the association’s president.

Western Financial Group said the partnerships reflect growing demand for specialized insurance products that address the evolving needs of veterinary clinics across Canada.
