Vsurance, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUR) a leading provider of pet health insurance, announced that the Company will provide insurance for new pet owners designed to mitigate the risk that comes with purchasing a new pet.

A November 16, 2007 USA Today article entitled: "States Consider Laws to Protect People from Puppy Lemons" focused on this growing need for States to provide insurance coverage to protect buyers from dog "lemons." Currently, 17 states have puppy lemon laws, which give consumers recourse if their new pet has problems.

The USA Today article tells the story of Amber Hodgson of Madison, Wisconsin, whose Yorkshire Terrier racked up $2,000 in veterinary bills just two days after she purchased the lovable pet.

"We believe that states that with dog lemon laws such as New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania are on the right track," commented Russell Smith, CEO of Vsurance, Inc. "Pet owners like Amber Hodgson shouldn't have to shell out money just days after they purchase a dog. We at Vsurance now offer coverage that not only protects retailers, but protects pet owners as well. We are very excited to introduce such a vitally and important pet insurance product. Purchasing the right pet for the family is an important and difficult decision. This type of lemon law coverage provides these pet owners with needed peace of mind."
