If you've ever duked it out about whether Fido or Fifi is the cutestpooch, you can now put the debate to rest with Progressive's new petphoto gallery. Pet owners upload photos of their dogs or cats to theprogressive.com pet photo gallery and visitors vote for their favorites.Every Monday, a new "Pet of the Week" is named based on the number ofvotes. The winning pet is then featured prominently on theprogressive.com home page and in the gallery for one week.

In September 2007, Progressive became the first carinsurance company to offer pet injury coverage for dogs and catsinjured in car accidents. Pet injury coverage is free to all Progressiveauto insurance customers who have Collision coverage. If the customer'sdog or cat is hurt in a car accident, the pet injury coverage pays up to$500 for veterinary bills.

"We started offering pet injury coverage because we know most peoplethink of their pets as an important part of the family and want them tobe protected in case of an accident," said Matt Lehman, Progressive'sWeb experience director. "We thought the pet photo gallery would be afun way for our customers to express their affection for their pets andshare pictures of their pets with a large audience."

The pet photo gallery also has a "share" button that lets users easilye-mail a link to their pet's photo and insert a link into their own blogor social media Web page.
