NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Odie Pet Insurance, a full-service pet health insurance company known for its affordable and customizable plans as well as its tech-enabled platform, and PetRx, a leading pharmaceutical retailer for pets, announced a strategic partnership that will expand the accessibility of pet insurance to pet parents across the country.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, this unique partnership structure opens a new distribution platform for pet retailers to enhance their core product offerings through the pet insurance vertical.

"Since Odie's inception, we have aimed to significantly increase the number of insured pets throughout the United States by collaborating with strategic partners in the pet industry. We're excited to build this partnership with PetRx, a company that shares our values regarding pet health and wellness, and we look forward to offering added-value products to pet parents who are already hyper-focused on their pet's well-being."

As part of this strategic partnership, PetRx will be responsible for marketing this new product to its customer base. As the insurer, Odie will manage all member communication and facilitate details around policy management and claims adjusting.

"Odie Pet Insurance is a trusted brand and insurance provider," said Jake Kibbee, CEO of PetRx. "This partnership opens a new revenue stream for us while also allowing our consumers to protect their pets and receive reimbursements for routine care and unexpected illnesses and injuries. The integration is seamless and offers a convenient, one-stop-shop experience for pet parents."
