31. The World's Largest Pet Walk and Affordable Pet Insurance

Episode Details

In Episode 31 of Pets Add Life, we explore two fascinating aspects of pet care—promoting physical health through walking and ensuring financial protection for unexpected health issues. 

First, we talk to Traci Pryor with Pet Partners, the organization behind the World’s Largest Pet Walk. WLPW is an annual event designed to bring communities together in support of pet health and well-being. Pet Partners encourages people to walk with their pets, whether it's around the block or across town, in support of their Therapy Animal Program. Traci shares inspiring stories from previous walks and discusses how pet owners everywhere can get involved, create teams, and raise funds to support therapy animals that bring joy and comfort to those in need.

Next, we welcome Miles Thorson, CEO and co-founder of Odie Pet Insurance. With National Pet Insurance Month in full swing, Miles explains how his company is making pet insurance more affordable and accessible for pet owners across the country. He breaks down different coverage options, from wellness plans to accident-only policies, and shares practical advice on how pet insurance can protect both pets and their owners from unexpected vet bills. Miles also offers tips on what to consider when choosing a plan and highlights the growing trend of pet insurance as part of responsible pet ownership.
