SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)
February 11, 2021

PetDesk today announced the Pet Insurance Guide, a tool for pet parents to quickly request and purchase pet insurance policies from inside the PetDesk app, is now active for all PetDesk App users**. The Pet Insurance Guide is the latest addition to the Lifetime Action Plan – PetDesk’s suite of pet parent tools assisting pet parents, and veterinary clinics, to extend the lives of pets.

The Pet Health Insurance Guide offers a new way for pet owners to easily find and compare pet insurance policies. The new tool will help achieve PetDesk’s mission to engage pet parents in their pets’ health through a deeper relationship with their pet care providers.

“Our mission is to extend the lives of pets by 10M years and have the data to prove it” says Taylor Cavanah, CEO of PetDesk, “and animals that are covered by pet insurance visit their vet more often, extending the length and quality of their lives. We aim to accelerate the adoption of pet insurance and know that the millions of PetDesk App users are looking for a trusted guide to aid them in their search for a policy specific to their furry family member.”

A survey of pet owners found that over 40% of pet owners consider pet insurance either confusing or too expensive*. To simplify this experience, PetDesk has partnered with Pets Best, a leading pet insurance provider, to help educate pet parents and veterinary clinics about pet insurance to increase adoption by clarifying common misconceptions.

“We’re thrilled to partner with PetDesk on this new Pet Insurance Guide, and share the same dedication to constantly enhancing our customers’ experience in innovative ways,” said Donna Cejalvo, VP of Business Development at Pets Best. “This new partnership will help both veterinarians and pet owners alike learn more about how to best care for and protect their pets.”

Features and benefits of the Pet Insurance Guide include.

• Education for both clinics and pet parents to get ahead of difficult financial conversations before they happen
• Simplified cost of care conversations between clinics and clients
• Curated, trusted pet insurance providers including Pets Best, Trupanion, and ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance Program with other providers constantly being evaluated based on plans, coverage, and more.

The PetDesk Pet Insurance Guide will be exclusively available in the PetDesk app starting February 10, 2021, accessible for all registered users. For more information on the Pet Insurance Guide, visit http://www.petdesk.com/pet-health-insurance-guide
