Q: Why should we use your company to choose right pet insurance? What makes your company unique?
A: The number of US pet insurance brands is growing every month, and plans vary greatly in pricing, coverage, waiting times, and more. One provider might be cheapest today, but increase premiums more rapidly than others as the pet ages. Another might not cover certain conditions until after a 12 month waiting period – so if your breed is prone to those conditions you’d want a different plan. There is no one-size-fits-all pet insurance.
With Pawlicy Advisor, you don’t need to spend hours comparing policies to find the best plan. Pet parents fill out one form and get hundreds of quotes from top providers all in one place. More importantly, every quote is ranked by a Coverage Score and Lifetime Pricing Score that is personalized to your pet’s breed-specific health risks, age, and location.
Pawlicy Advisor is built to (1) educate pet parents about what conditions are most important for their breed to get covered and (2) reveal lifetime cost expectations that take into account how each provider’s premiums increase as your pet ages. In some cases, our customers have saved up to 83% in lifetime insurance costs.
Lastly, our data-driven analysis of the providers in our platform is objective. Unlike other websites, our partners all pay the same flat rate to ensure we’re not financially biased. When we recommend a plan it’s because we’ve analyzed the fine print and truly believe it’s the best option for you.
Q: Can you describe a typical customer scenario for your solution?
A: 1.Customers visit Pawlicy.com and fill out one form. We then analyze hundreds of personalized quotes from top providers and score them based on coverage and lifetime pricing.
2. Customers see all their options side-by-side, and can even view custom comparison charts that highlight coverage and pricing differences.
3. Customers select their preferred plan and complete enrollment in Pawlicy Advisor’s marketplace. We then handle the paperwork of setting up your policy with the insurance provider.
Q: You’ve recently raised $6.5 Million in Series A funding; can you tell us something more?
A: The round was led by Rho Capital Partners and Defy Partners, and signals their confidence in the opportunity ahead.

Q: What can we expect from you in 2021? What are your goals?
A: We’re growing fast. This new funding will enable us to hire key roles in each department to further invest in building top-tier education for pet health budgeting and treatment financing, strengthening integrations with veterinary practices across the country, and getting every major US provider on the Pawlicy Advisor platform.
We’re working to eliminate the need for pet parents to choose between their pets’ lives and their financial wellbeing. Making pet health insurance easy is the first step.
