AI-Powered Pet Health Education and Tips for Insurance Policyholders
The most effective way to reduce pet insurance claims is to help pet owners keep their pets healthier.

The US pet insurance market reached USD 4.8 billion in premiums in 2025, insuring 5.7 million pets at a 44.6% CAGR per NAPHIA. Pet owners cite lack of engagement between claims as a primary reason for policy lapse.
