• Corporate benefits center on spouses and children. It misses the parallel world sitting right next to it: The pet is a child and pet care mirrors dependent care. There is a mismatch between how employees live and how benefits still assume they live.

  • Pet care costs climb 6-8% annually, rivaling child care and outpacing wage growth. There’s guilt when care is delayed or downgraded, and distress when affordability blocks it — a grinding anxiety of keeping a dependent healthy in a system that offers no safety net for it.

  • Pet care access is shaky and out-of-pocket costs block usage. Inflation runs ahead of core CPI and hits employees where it hurts: every paycheck. And there is zero employer-backed path to make care easier to reach or afford.

  • In the US alone, 6 million of the 70 million stray animals enter shelters each year. Yet rescues run on thin reserves as the pet industry generates billions — cut off from the very economy that profits from pets.

THE FIX

Employer-funded digital wallet spent inside the Costco of Pet Care network, cutting out-of-pockets costs, stretching every dollar, and auto-routing a share to rescue support.

It spends like cash, goes further than cash, and does visible good.

See how it works.

  • Takes everything scattered in a pet owner’s life and brings it into a clean control panel. Balance, spending, receipts, and bookings live in one place, so employees do not bounce between websites and clinic portals. Every spend shows its rescue impact right beside it.

  • HR loads monthly Pet Wallet credits, sees kive usage across tams, and watches payments flow to providers, and impact fund. Reports and audits are clean, participation ties to retention and morale — all from one SaaS command center for full accountability and zero busywork.

  • Employees step into a wholesale club for pets — member-rate pricing, trusted providers, and priority access. It turns pet care from a stressful, piecemeal chore into a predictable, streamlined experience. Evry visit pushes funds to recuse work and logs it clearly.

  • A real-time window into where rescue dollars go: money moves automatically with each employee spend, transfers remove waiting time for shelters, and disbursements (photos, GPS, receipts) sit in-app. It turns the impact fund from a promise into right-there output.
