(PRESS RELEASE) WENATCHEE, WA — Pet tech innovators, PetHub, Inc. and Kinship, have partnered and combined their expertise to launch an inventive post-adoption support pilot program at multiple regional animal shelters across the United States. Together, they’re setting pet adopters up for success by offering 24/7 access to vet support, digital pet loss prevention services and tools, and expert resources to provide pet parents with peace of mind and help keep dogs and cats healthy, happy, and safe at home. Participating shelters include Good Shepherd Humane Society in Eureka Springs, Arkansas; KC Pet Project in Kansas City, Missouri; Bitter Root Humane Association in Hamilton, Montana; and Humane Society of Western Montana in Missoula.
“We share the same mission as Kinship to make the world a better and safer place for pets and promote peace of mind for pet parents,” said Lorien Clemens, co-founder and CEO of PetHub. “Through this exciting initiative, we’re offering pet adopters a special membership discount with access to our award-winning lost pet prevention and recovery tools. Our smart pet ID tags have helped more than 100,000 lost animals return to their families safely, and of those, 96% have been reunited in under 24 hours. Additionally, 98% of pets with an activated PetHub tag are reunited with their families without going into a shelter, which reduces the strain on overcrowded animal facilities.”
Shelter adopters will receive an email to redeem 50% off of a one-year subscription to PetHub’s premium membership. Benefits include GPS tag scan notifications, a comprehensive suite of tools and resources on lost pet prevention and recovery, a community alert system, and access to the PetHub Perks Discount Club. Adopters also have the option to create a free PetHub account by scanning the QR code on the pet ID tag provided by the shelter.
Kinship is offering a 3-month free trial of its Kinship Premium app, which can be redeemed via a QR code that will be shared post-adoption. The app provides 24/7 access to veterinary telehealth services. Kinship Premium enables pet parents to talk to a veterinarian anytime or anywhere to discuss behavioral issues, food recommendations, and health issues. The app delivers personalized pet advice from experts and makes it easier to store and share vet records.
“At Kinship, we’re committed to Mars Petcare’s mission of transforming the experience of pet ownership and building a better world for pets,” said Kinship’s COO, Melody Tan. “Investing in a new generation of digital tools, such as our Kinship Premium app, is core to delivering on this mission. Our app provides ongoing support for pet parents with unlimited access to vet advice on all topics including care, behavior, and nutrition. It also keeps your pet’s identity in one place for easy access, while personalizing content to your and your pet’s interests. We are excited to partner with PetHub and offer adopters at participating shelters 3 months free of our Kinship Premium app. Together, we help pet parents start their journey with confidence to provide a happy and healthy life for their new pet.”
The subscription offers from PetHub and Kinship Premium are available for a limited time while supplies last. Visit PetHub.com and TheKin.com/pethubshelter for more information about both pet parenting support providers.
