The Corporate Takeover of Vet Care

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (5.26) Corporations are targeting the veterinary world because the business model is almost too good to ignore. Pet care is considered recession-resistant because roughly two-thirds of American households' own pets, and most people now treat their animals like family. That means owners are often willing to pay for care even when budgets are tight. Add in the “silver tsunami” of baby boomer veterinarians retiring and selling their clinics, and suddenly there is a flood of practices available for deep-pocketed buyers. Then comes vertical integration: the same large players can own the clinic, the lab, the medicine, the diagnostics, and even the pet insurance. That is how companies make money at every step of the process.

Pet health insurance can be confusing—for pet parents and animal welfare professionals alike. Terms like pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, and medical records often create uncertainty at the very moment families are trying to do the right thing for their pets. In this episode of The Intake Podcast, Katherine Shenar is joined by Brad Watkins, Director of Animal Welfare at MetLife Pet Insurance, and Matt Pepper, CEO of Michigan Humane, to unpack how pet insurance really works—and why it matters for shelters and adopters. Together, they explore how timing and documentation impact coverage, the role shelters can play in educating adopters, and how pet insurance can support long-term pet retention by helping families manage unexpected veterinary costs. If your organization is focused on keeping pets in homes—not just placing them—this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, we meet John Bradford, founder & CEO of PetScreening in Charlotte, North Carolina. Bradford is on a mission to make life better for pets. After starting out in the property management world—first managing his own rental units, then expanding to investor portfolios—he saw firsthand how pet ownership impacted housing. That insight led him to launch PetScreening, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that helps streamline offering pet and renters insurance. At the heart of it is the proprietary FIDO Score™, a data-driven tool to assess pets more fairly than outdated breed restrictions. Today, the platform is used by about 1 in 7 rental units in the U.S. “Our goal is to help change hearts and open eyes when it comes to breed restrictions,” Bradford says. “We can't force anyone to accept every dog, but we can give them the data to make better decisions.” Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today. From Main Street USA to the pages of Independent Agent magazine—we've got the stories you want to hear.

Have a dog? If you're a Millennial or Gen Z, there's a good chance you're already owning your first pet. But do you have pet insurance? According to statistics, you probably don't.  This episode's guest, Trey Ferro, is in the business of making sure you and your pet are insured. From unexpected vet visits to making sure your pup is fully vaccinated, pet insurance can help you have peace of mind. But how do you market such a “complicated” product? The answer is personalization.  Offering tiers and personalized quotes is a step in the right direction. Another strategy includes rapid transparency and education, especially for younger consumers who may not know how insurance even works. How do you create urgency when the general public doesn't get your value prop right off the bat? And, just how important is a good CTA? Trey reveals the double digit number difference between a good CTA and a bad one.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about marketing tougher and more unique products, this is the episode for you.  Follow Trey: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trey-ferro-320240141/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Karel Cast 25-002 I have paid over $150 a month for nine years to Nationwide Pet Insurance for their Whole Health with Wellness plan for Ember. Now, they have decided to not offer it in Nevada and CA, and other states, and are cancelling 300k policies. Not for nonpayment or too many claims, but just because they can. It's almost impossible to insure a senior pet, and they know it. So why not leave people with the policies grandfathered in and just not offer them going forward? Greed. Pure and simple. And they are blaming vets for “rising costs…” Like THEY are not partially to blame for these rising costs. THIS is what's wrong with USA. Corporations, not people, not government, Corporations run it all and do what they want. And if your pet dies because of it, so what.
