With an aim to increase employee benefits and cater to the increasing need of pet owners in the workplace, a new pet insurance service has now opened its services nationwide. The new coverage offers a convenient and innovative method for employers to assist their pet parent employees with those surprise vet bills.

Assisting with the Rising Costs of Pet Care

With increasingly more people keeping pets all over the country – recent statistics indicate a large percentage of households keeping a pet – the expense of animal maintenance has become an increasing concern to many. Illness or accident can result in very high veterinary bills, which cause financial distress and stress to pet owners. This new service will address this concern by providing low-cost pet insurance in the form of work benefit packages.

A spokesperson for the new service highlighted the cost of unplanned vet visits, adding, “The typical vet visit for an accident or illness can be a real bill. To many pet parents and employers, unplanned charges this magnitude can be very stressful and put an enormous financial strain on them. By providing this plan, employers can help prevent this concern by making vet services more affordable so their employees can spend more time doing what they love most – living life with their pets.”

A Benefit Employees Really Want

A study by the new company indicates that most pet owners are highly interested in buying pet insurance from their employers. Most of them said they would greatly appreciate this type of benefit, seeing the financial assistance it would bring to the health of their pets. By adding pet insurance to their benefit packages, employers can leverage this interest, recruiting and retaining quality employees while establishing a compassionate and generous work environment.

The business highlights that pets are a significant aspect of mental health, and this is consistent with the increasing emphasis on wellbeing at work. Providing pet insurance can provide reassurance for employees, knowing they have a financial safety net to cover their pets’ medical expenses.
