A health care plan for Fido (Money)
FORTUNE — Commerce Bank founder Vernon Hill has gotten loads of press for the
flashy Metro Bank, which he opened in the United Kingdom last summer. But he
is equally ecstatic about his investment in the fast-growing Petplan USA.
“There’s a crying need for pet insurance,” says Hill, who can often be seen
cradling his Yorkshire terrier Sir Duffield, feeding him favorite foods like
chicken wings or ice cream. Hill is a true believer in the business. Sir
Duffield, or Duffy as he is known, has had 11 teeth pulled and never misses a
checkup; and Petplan covers Duffy’s top-notch care. Hill also offers pet
insurance to his employees as part of their benefit packages.
