RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) December 27, 2022

PetPartners Inc. has teamed up with Selerix to offer its true group pet insurance benefit on their industry-leading benefits administration platform. Selerix is trusted by employers and brokers to facilitate benefits administration and enrollment for core and voluntary insurance products. This relationship makes PetPartners offering accessible to an additional 11 million employees and nearly 20,000 employers, advancing PetPartners vision to meet pet parents needs while supporting the broker and employer community with a product that is easy to administer and coincides with core benefit offerings.

Pets continue to be top of mind for employees, and employers continue to seek out additional voluntary benefits to remain competitive with current and potential employees. PetPartners designed its group pet insurance offering with employers and their employees in mind. A simplified enrollment experience and streamlined benefits administration make it easy for employers to implement, all while having ease of administration they already know and enjoy with Selerix. In addition to enrolling in pet insurance, employees will have access to services like vet helpline, medication discounts, payroll deduction, and employee pricing.

"An estimated 23 million pets were added to US households since March 2020* and play an important part in our lives – increasing our physical and mental health, providing a sense of purpose, and helping us connect with others. Employers are recognizing the importance of providing pet benefits, especially their ability to make employees more engaged, productive, and likely to stay at the company," said Nichole Toscano, VP of Business Development at PetPartners. "PetPartners values the human-animal bond and is excited to partner with Selerix to offer pet insurance to more employers, helping pet parents provide the care their four-legged loved ones need."
