Due to the fact that the majority of Malaysians either own a cat or a dog, and the fact that the pet insurance providers in the Malaysian market only provide insurance plans for cats and dogs at the moment, the focus of this study will be on the cat and dog owners only. In order to conduct this research, the Theory of Planned Behaviour will be utilised as the base framework of this research, with other relevant variables coined from the respective researchers. Among the key findings of this research is that there are three determinants of intention to purchase pet insurance among cat and dog owners in Malaysia, which are the Responsibility towards Pets, Risk Perception towards Pet Ownership, and Financial Risk of Owners.
