Employers, big and small, are starting to see the benefit of pet insurance, and Pets Best has, in turn, seen exponential growth in the employee channel. Since 2015, Pets Best has seen a fourfold increase in the number of companies requesting information about adding pet insurance as a voluntary benefit.
