Book a demoThe challenge for HR and benefits teams
Many employees think of their pets as family. Pets shape their routines, their homes and their peace of mind. But:
-
Pets get left out
Benefits support spouses and kids, but rarely the family pet.
-
Pet worries come to work
A new puppy, a nervous rescue or a pet home alone can weigh on the day.
-
Pet benefits stop at the vet
Insurance pays vet bills, but behavior questions get little help.
How Petcademy helps
Petcademy adds expert training and behavior support to your benefits package, so employees with pets get help whenever a question comes up.
What every employee gets
Employees with pets, wherever they work, all get:
- Unlimited expert support by text: a certified trainer replies to every question

- 100+ lessons for dogs and cats, from new puppy basics to behavior challenges
- Regular check-ins from a trainer, plus a photo album for their pet

Frequently asked questions
Pet insurance is the best known. Employers also offer vet telehealth, time off for a new pet, adoption or pet-care stipends, and discounts. Training and behavior support is rarely offered. That's what Petcademy provides: expert help with everyday questions from employees with pets, alongside the benefits you already offer.
Pet insurance helps pay vet bills when a pet is sick or hurt. Petcademy helps with everyday behavior and training, like a puppy who won't settle or a cat who scratches the couch. It works alongside insurance and vet care, never instead of them. Selling group pet plans as an insurer? See Petcademy for Pet Insurance Providers.
