Insurance unleashed
- Every dog has its day, and the day has come in the form of the world’s first on-demand outdoor dog insurance!

- What’s great about WALKY?
- Covers outdoor accidental injury, with vet expenses up to HK$5,000 (~US$640)
- Covers from age of 8 week to 9 years old, with the same premium for all ages and species
- No yearly contracts; a ticket can cover even just a 90-minute trip
- Can be purchased on the YAS app in 3 mins
- No deductibles, and WALKY can supplement other medical pet insurance plans
- Coverage includes family, friends, or pet-sitters who walk your dog
- Here’s a bonus: For every WALKY purchased, YAS will donate 10% of the net proceeds to support SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
Turning the wheels
