Pet insurance company with an exclusive shelter-specific product teams up with growing animal rescue software to help save more pets

Partnership will educate adopters on the value of pet insurance and help more recently adopted pets receive coverage for unexpected accidents, injuries, and illnesses

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. February 15, 2023 —Companion Protect, a Kansas City-based pet health insurance company with a focus on providing comprehensive coverage for recently adopted shelter pets across the country, is excited to partner with Pawlytics—a modern animal rescue software headquartered in Lincoln, Neb.

The partnership will encourage adopters to learn more about the benefits of pet insurance during and after the adoption process. Both companies share the aligned goals of helping as many pets as possible and decreasing the number of needless euthanasia across the country.

“Partnering with Pawlytics will do so much to help reduce returns to rescues and shelters for medical reasons,” Companion Protect Director of Shelter Partnerships Chris Copeland said. “It’s so rewarding to work with another company that cares for the health and happiness of pets as much as we do.”

Companion Protect’s pet insurance is designed specifically for shelter pets, with exclusive features including no waiting periods, no breed restrictions, affordable premiums, and more.

Pawlytics was created in 2018 after founder Lizz Whitacre realized how hard it was to manage day-to-day operations of a rescue with limited resources. Pawlytics empowers animal welfare organizations to maximize their life-saving potential with affordable, easy-to-use software. Foster-based rescues can streamline tasks with features like record management, data visualization, automatic exports to third-party adoption sites, and electronic paperwork submittal.

“We know pet insurance helps keep pets with their families,” Whitacre said. “Our hope is this partnership will lead to even more happy, successful adoptions through Pawlytics. We are excited for the future between our two companies!”
