Agria Pet Insurance and Pets4Homes announce new partnership

A new partnership has launched between Agria Pet Insurance and Pets4Homes, with the welfare-focused lifetime pet insurer to feature prominently on Pets4Homes.co.uk. In this Financial Conduct Authority approved agreement, the opportunity to protect pets with insurance is now integrated into the very start of the buying process.

Access to five weeks’ free insurance with Agria via the new Pets4Homes Pet Payments service gives dogs and cats the protection of insurance right from the beginning of life with their new owners. Pet Payments on Pets4Homes is a secure online payment system that aims to offer a safe and stress-free way to handle payments, ensuring that funds are securely held until both parties are satisfied.

The service comes with several perks, with the primary benefit being access to a five-week free policy with Agria, which can then be continued onto a lifetime policy, giving owners cover for vets fees year after year for veterinary treatment.

Agria also fully supports new owners on their journey with their new family member, with specialist behavioural, veterinary and nutritional advice sent to them to guide them through every milestone.

At Pets4Homes, breeders go through several vetting processes that include identification verification, uploading of license documents when necessary, and a thorough check of the listings before they are uploaded. Only breeders with verified IDs can use the Pet Payment service, which provides extra security. 

“Our new partnership with Pets4Homes focuses on our shared vision of giving pets the most secure start to life. As almost a quarter (22%) of claims handled by Agria are for pets under two years old, having insurance in place from the start of the journey with their new family member gives real peace of mind with cover for veterinary treatment for their pet. We’re excited to be working with a partner who understands how crucial this is for animal welfare, and we look forward to our future together,” says Vicki Wentworth, Managing Director, Agria Pet Insurance.

'We are delighted to welcome Agria as our new insurance partner. Agria's extensive coverage options, flexibility, and excellent customer service makes them the ideal choice for Pets4Homes.co.uk. This collaboration allows us to offer our users who make secure payments via our platform five weeks of free Agria insurance, ensuring a stress-free start to their journey as pet parents. While Pets4Homes and Agria operate internationally, our shared Swedish heritage makes this partnership even more special. We look forward to working together to provide new pet parents with the security and peace of mind they need to enjoy their new family members fully,' says Bensam Solomon, Chief Strategy & Operations Officer, Pets4Homes.

Agria has provided pet insurance since 1890, and in the UK, their lifetime dog and cat lifetime policies have recently been awarded Which? Best Buys for the second time. The lifetime-only pet insurer is known for its focus on animal welfare and sustainability; Agria is the only carbon positive pet insurer in the UK.

Pets4Homes launched almost 20 years ago, and is committed to giving every pet the best life possible, helping them to find loving homes through their safe digital platform.
