Quotes from pet parents like this one show that pet wellness is not an add-on perk—it’s a necessity. Keeping pets healthy means keeping families whole. Today, more U.S. households include a pet (66%) than a child under 18 (39%). Yet most employee benefits still focus on traditional family structures, overlooking a huge population of caregivers: pet parents. Pet wellness benefits give employees peace of mind, reduce financial stress, and support the health of the furry family members they love most. Because taking care of pets is taking care of people. Let’s build a future of work that’s truly inclusive—pets and all. 🐾 #PetBenefits #WorkplaceBenefits #PetWellness

We’re not the bragging type, but sometimes you can’t help it. With 94% of Wagmo members saying they would be disappointed if their employer no longer offered Wagmo, it’s clear employees love comprehensive pet benefits. As employers, it’s time to ask yourselves: Are you offering benefits that truly make a difference in your employees’ lives? When you give employees benefits that actually impact their everyday life, you get loyalty in exchange. But what does that 94% really mean? It means that virtually all employees who receive Wagmo as part of their benefits program:   • Actively use and value the benefit and truly value every dollar saved • Feel like they are part of a workforce that is genuinely supported  • Stay longer and recommend your company to others, because they feel like it’s a great place to work Are you ready to see what 94% satisfaction looks like for your employee benefits package? #HRBenefits #PetBenefits #HRStrategy

Comprehensive pet benefits don’t just mean better overall happiness for employees. They also set the stage for real, measurable business impact.  If Oslo had a job, she’d win Employee of the Month based on belly rubs alone. But for your actual employees, pet-related stress can seriously derail productivity. Here’s why. 65% say they are less productive when their pet falls ill. Give your employees peace of mind with comprehensive pet benefits and they’ll be able to shift that focus back on work. Suddenly, your bottom line looks a whole lot healthier. Employers, including pet benefits in your employee packages isn’t a frivolous line item. Treat it as a competitive advantage – an investment into your company’s greatest asset: the people who power it. What's stopping your organization from offering comprehensive pet benefits to employees? #HRStrategy #EmployeeBenefits #WorkplaceBenefits #PetInsurance
