Pet Care Employee Benefits
The Pet Effect: Why Pet Care Belongs in Your Benefits Lineup
When it comes to benefits that truly connect with employees, pet care is quickly rising to the top. And during National Pet Month, it’s worth asking: Are you supporting your team beyond the basics? Should you add Pet Care employee benefits?
Offering pet-focused perks is more than a feel-good gesture—it’s a meaningful way to strengthen your overall benefits package and show your employees (and their furry companions) that you care about the whole family.
Small Perk, Big Impact on Employee Satisfaction
Studies show that pets can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and even combat loneliness. With more employees working remotely and forming closer bonds with their pets, pet care has quickly moved from a niche perk to a widely appreciated benefit.
In fact, pet insurance and pet wellness benefits consistently rank higher on employees’ wish lists. A recent benefit trends report1 found that 52% of employees with pets—especially Millennials and Gen Zers—said pet insurance is a “must-have” or “nice-to-have” benefit. And let’s not forget the financial side. Vet visits, medications, and emergencies can add up fast. Helping employees offset these costs can go a long way in boosting morale and retention.
