At the heart of Fetch by The Dodo®, the hum of a hard drive and the click of a fingernail on a keyboard are interrupted by the occasional bark and soft snoring of a sleeping puppy. Growing Pet Insurance CEO Paul Guyardo estimates that 95 percent of the company’s 225 employees are pet parents, many of whom bring their furry children to work every day. “We screen potential employees for their attitudes toward pets,” Guyardo said. He himself is the parent of 4-year-old Shichon’s Huncho, a delightful result of crossing Shi Tzu and Bichon Fize.

Fetch at The Dodo also pays for doctor visits, which are often one of the most expensive parts of veterinary care.

Choosing the Right Pet Insurance

Not surprisingly, Paul Guyardo, CEO of Fetch by The Dodo, has some thoughts on which features make the best pet insurance policies. When asked if every pet owner needs pet insurance, he answered bluntly: “No. If you can pay for your pet’s veterinary care at your own expense, you probably don’t need pet insurance. But most pet parents can’t afford the treatment. The cost of serious illness and accidents, which can run into the thousands of dollars. Even wealthy pet owners can save money by insuring their pets.”

Guyardo advises pet owners to insure their pets when they are young — ideally from the age of a puppy or kitten. He advises pet owners to carefully read any policies they are considering, and pay attention to specific exceptions, such as: “The veterinary field is always advancing, so make sure your policy covers the most innovative treatments.” Often the newest treatments are the most innovative. good treatment. However, some pet insurance plans only cover routine treatment of pet health problems.
