The ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance Program Helps Educate Pet Owners with Interactive Cost of Care Wheel


AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To help educate consumers and new pet owners about the costs associated with adding a dog or cat to the home, the ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance program has developed a "Cost of Care Wheel" available to veterinary hospitals. The interactive tool can be viewed and ordered at no cost via the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance online Veterinary Resource Center, which also houses a robust library of content dedicated to veterinary staff and clients.

"The 'Cost of Care Wheel' can be used to help facilitate the important conversation of finances, often considered an uncomfortable topic to veterinarians, whose main focus is to provide the very best care for the animal," said Gina Fortunato, AVP of Veterinary Services, Crum & Forster Pet Insurance Grouptm, providers of ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance.

The "Cost of Care Wheel" contains information based on actual claims data for accident, illness, and preventive care invoices submitted over a five-year timeframe for nine popular dog breeds and five cat breeds. The wheel can be rotated to show data for each breed, evaluated in 4 different ways:

"Studies show owners want to learn about the future costs of care for their beloved pets.  When animal health care teams educate clients about future veterinary costs, they empower the owner to proactively plan for their pet's healthcare," added Fortunato. "This leads to less client economic limitations, resulting in more care for pets and the preservation of the family-pet bond. Veterinary teams have less moral stress, leading to decreased burnout and improved workplace satisfaction. There is an increase in revenue, both from the increased ability of clients to pay for recommended care, as well as increased business as satisfied clients give more word-of-mouth referrals."

In addition to the "Cost of Care Wheel," the Veterinary Resource Center contains:

"We believe if you educate clients, you protect pets. According to a recent survey**, veterinary staff ranked 'helping clients afford unexpected vet expenses' and 'focus less on cost and more on treating pets' as their top motivators for recommending pet health insurance to their clients. Our resource center contains collateral that will help you in this effort," added Fortunato.
