Relationship will help more recently adopted pets receive coverage for unexpected accidents, injuries, and illnesses, reducing pets returned to shelters for medical conditions
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. January 9, 2023 — Companion Protect, a leading pet health insurance company based in the Kansas City area and focused on helping pets adopted from animal shelters, is proud to announce their partnership with AnimalsFirst, a prominent animal management software headquartered in New York City.
The new partnership will easily enable adopters at AnimalsFirst shelters to learn more about pet insurance during the adoption process and receive a quote for coverage immediately following adoption.
“There’s a crisis in animal welfare,” Companion Protect Director of Shelter Partnerships Chris Copeland said. “A high percentage of animals are returned to shelters for medical reasons. Software partnerships like our relationship with AnimalsFirst allow us to reach more adopters and keep more pets with their forever families.”
Companion Protect’s pet insurance is designed specifically for recently adopted shelter pets, and features exclusive benefits, including no waiting periods, no breed restrictions, and affordable premiums.
Founded in 2018, AnimalsFirst provides shelters and rescues across the United States with state-of-the-art technology to manage their shelter operations, including animal management, medical record management, field services, and more via enhanced web and mobile technologies. AnimalsFirst can be customized to fit the unique needs of each shelter partner, and enables adopters to browse animals online, complete applications, digitally sign contracts, and pay adoption fees.
“Pet insurance provides peace of mind for both adopters and animal welfare workers,” Copeland said. “We’re proud to partner with a software who will allow us to share this benefit with more families and reduce returns to shelters.”
