Epetsure Launches To Educate Pet Parents On The Benefits Of Pet Insurance

SAN DIEGO - May 11, 2016 - PRLog -- epetsure announces the launch of its fully-featured website www.epetsure.com. The site was developed to further epetsure's mission of ensuring pet wellness.

epetsure's website is designed with the pet parent in mind. It features extensive content, including a fully developed glossary, frequently asked questions section, and an active blog that promotes pet wellness, through awareness and discussion of topical subjects in pet health and related fields.

One of epetsure's unique components is the comprehensive guide of pet health insurance companies and competitive pet health plans that are offered on its site. "When starting this project, I analyzed the offers of insurance companies. Frankly, I was surprised when I found out how difficult it is to understand the features of insurance companies and the proposed plans. I am pleased to share the results of hundreds of hours of research. Hopefully, it will help you choose the best plan for your pet," says Mike Kravstov, Co-founder and CEO of epetsure.

According to the American Animal Hospital Association, more than half of U.S. households own pets. However, the lack of transparency and confusion surrounding the pet insurance industry may explain the staggering fact that only 1% of all pets are insured in the U.S., versus a whopping 24% that are insured in some parts of Europe. General lack of awareness by consumers of the pet health insurance industry as a whole is another reason that may account for such a stark difference. "I truly believe that pet insurance should be easily accessible to pet parents. Having been a pet insurance customer for over 2 years, I can tell you that it works," says Andy Smit, Co-founder and COO.  The vast majority of pet insurance carriers have been operating in the U.S. since 2000, and because of how differently they operate from their human health insurance company counterparts, many pet parents are either not aware of their existence, or do not have the opportunity to fully investigate their costs and benefits.

With the cost of pet insurance averaging at just $1 per day, and an average refund rate of 70-90%, an insured pet owner would be able to maintain the well-being or even save the life of their pet, while still keeping within the margins of a practical budget. "My parent's terrier was seriously ill. They couldn't afford the vet fees and ended up putting him down. Having seen the pain they went through first hand, I vowed to start epetsure to help pet parents avoid such pain," says Edward Isarevich, the third epetsure Co-founder. Unfortunately, most pet owners just don't have the financial resources to treat their pets when they suddenly fall ill or are subject to injury. This fact is further emphasized by a survey taken by the New York Times blog, showing that more than half of U.S. pet owners would not spend over $1,000 on veterinary bills, having to face a tough choice of euthanizing their beloved four-legged friend.

To make choosing a pet health insurance company and plan simpler, epetsure (http://www.epetsure.com/) does the all the legwork by carefully selecting a variety of pet health insurance plans from a broad spectrum of companies. Every one of epetsure's custom levels was developed with the pet owner in mind to provide the most comprehensive coverage. Each level offers plans from multiple carriers, describing the features and differences among them, the cost per month, as well as the epetsure recommended choice. An algorithm calculates the recommended plan, ensuring that consumers are given the best and most objective information available.

While epetsure is proud to offer pet owners an easy and comprehensive window into the pet insurance industry, it's really a passionate project that turned into a startup by three people focused on educating pet parents about the benefits of pet insurance while ensuring their pet's wellness.

About epetsure:

epetsure™ began with the simple idea of wanting to find a way to secure our pet's wellness and future, while helping other pet parents with their struggles in the pet healthcare industry. By providing easily accessible content and education, we offer pet parents the best and most up to date options in the growing market of pet insurance companies.

epetsure™ is not an insurance company. Founded by  three guys whose love for animals brought them  together. As pet parents ourselves, we know how hard it can be to trust strangers with our best furry friends. That's why we think it's important to have an independent third party, like epetsure™, to objectively walk pet parents through the process, answer questions, and believe in the quality instead of the quantity of service. Because pet insurance isn't just about the pets, it's about the ones we love, and we at epetsure™ not only know that, we live it, every day.
