About Us

Our Mission
Happy, healthy pets make for happy, healthy people. We aim to strengthen the unique bond between pets and their parents through our innovative products and services, enabled by brilliant colleagues who embody our values of performance, exploration, togetherness, and sustainability.

Our Journey
In 2016 we set out to focus entirely on pet insurance with pets and families at the centre of our business strategy and in 2017 launched a new brand, EveryPaw. To offer our customers a choice of insurance options for their pets, we also focused on finding the right partners to support our growth ambition and our first big partnerships with Sainsbury and Argos went live in 2019. Many talented colleagues have joined us, and we now partner with a number of fantastic brands across the retail, charity and financial services sectors. We’ve developed new capabilities, new platforms and new services specifically for our partners to achieve the best customer experience. Over the last 6 years, the number of pet parents we support has grown five-fold to over half a million in 2023.

Our ambition
We’re delivering long-term success and growth through empowerment and strong collaboration focusing on our two own brands; EveryPaw and Pet Protect and building great relationships with our partners to provide market leading products, innovative new services, simplicity and a great customer experience. Our goal is to support over 1 million pet parents by the end of 2026.
