Which ShelterCare Coverage
do you think gets used the most?

The ShelterCare Program has become well known within the animal welfare sector as a useful tool that fulfils the needs of new adopters and newly adopted pets alike. Offered to adopters as both a 30-Day ShelterCare Gift (PetPoint users) and a $1 first month offer ShelterCare Intro (non-PetPoint users), this week’s e-mail focuses on the value of messaging insurance during adoption.

ShelterCare Helps Adopters and their new pets

• Reduces adoption returns as new pet owners have the peace of mind that their pet is protected– over 1,300,000 new adopters have now gone home with the ShelterCare Gift;
• Provides new adopters with financial support for their new pet’s immediate health needs – tens of thousands of adopters have called upon ShelterCare in their pet’s time of need;
• ShelterCare Claims are processed very quickly, an average time of 4 days from the date received. If the clinic the adopter goes to veterinary clinic that uses EVE (our online claims service), the claim will be processed real-time, onsite. Over $5.8 million claims paid for post adoption health care costs of accidents and illnesses;
• Introduces new pet owners to the concept of pet insurance.  Unfortunately too many pet owners continue to take the “it will never happen to me ” attitude; in turn pet’s access to the quality of health care is compromised – you have an opportunity to change this – always talk to your adopters about the importance of protecting their new pet.
