Why Pet Care?

Over half of UK households are pet owners with a dog or a cat who is considered one of the family. 

This means it’s likely that for many of your employees, the care and wellbeing of their pet is high up on their agenda.

Every kind of family matters, and the needs of all loved ones, not just the human variety, are important considerations.

Acknowledging this reality and including Pet Care within your family-friendly benefits will demonstrate your commitment to inclusivity and providing meaningful benefits.

And it makes good business sense too.

Whether it's a midday walk, playtime, or simply companionship, the peace of mind provided by Pet Care frees your employees to be able to concentrate during working hours.

Free to focus on work without the worry of their furry companions experiencing anxiety, or missing out on much needed exercise.

Your reassured pet parents are more engaged, and likely to perform at their best, knowing that their four-legged friends are in good hands.

This innovative benefit will make you stand out when it comes talent recruitment and retention.
