[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Uplus announced on the 22nd that it will change the components of pet-exclusive devices and launch a new pet care solution service called 'U+ Smart Home Pet Care,' which includes liability insurance.

The pet-exclusive devices included in the new service are three types: ▲remote feeder ▲MomCam (CCTV) ▲snack robot. The remote feeder allows you to feed your pet remotely at any desired time from anywhere. MomCam is a CCTV that enables 24-hour monitoring of pets left alone at home from outside. The snack robot is a device that can dispense snacks remotely anytime and anywhere. It also supports autonomous driving, allowing it to play with or feed snacks to pets when they are alone.

During the subscription period for the pet care service, LG Uplus provides DB Insurance's pet insurance service free of charge for one pet. The insurance coverage includes up to 5 million KRW per incident for breed-specific liability accidents and 100,000 KRW as a condolence payment in case of death. Additional benefits include accommodation vouchers at pet specialty stores, free studio photography, and dog walking apps.

The price of the U+ Smart Home Pet Care service is 11,000 KRW per month (excluding VAT, based on a 3-year contract). Yeom Sang-pil, head of LG Uplus Home IoT Products, said, "We have launched a service that systematically cares for pets when owners are away through the latest IoT technology," adding, "We will strive to ensure that the 10 million pet-owning families in Korea trust and choose LG Uplus."
