Through a partnership with Trupanion, the online pet retailer plans to offer pet health insurance to its more than 20 million customers.
Through this partnership, Chewy will offer customers both preventative care wellness plans and comprehensive insurance plans for accidents, illnesses and chronic conditions.
Chewy will be able to leverage Trupanion’s patented software to pay veterinarians directly, thus reducing out-of-pocket expenses and increasing access to care.
“We are excited about our collaboration with Trupanion, with whom we share our values of customer centricity and product innovation,” said Mita Malhotra, VP and Head of Chewy Health. “The launch of customized care plans specifically designed for our customers is an important enhancement to the Chewy Health ecosystem, advancing our mission to make pet healthcare more affordable and accessible for all pet parents.”
“We’re humbled and excited when we find a partner like Chewy, who recognizes the value of our brand and expertise,” said Margi Tooth, Co-President of Trupanion. “Through our partnership, we have the opportunity to grow the category by introducing the concept of high-quality medical insurance to Chewy’s customer base of over 20 million pet parents. In doing so, we look forward to increasing the percentage of insured pets that walk through the doors of veterinary hospitals, to ensure they get the best veterinary care.”
