CLEVELAND, Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) announced today that Embrace Pet Insurance, one of the highest-rated U.S. pet insurance companies, has become an official supporter of HABRI and its research on the human health benefits of companion animals.
"When pet owners become part of the Embrace family, we strive to strengthen the human-animal bond, especially when pet parents need it most," said Ambrish Jaiswal, CEO of Embrace Pet Insurance. "By supporting HABRI, Embrace Pet Insurance is proudly helping to advance human-animal bond research that demonstrates the positive role that healthy pets play in our lives."
"We know from research that pets are considered part of the family, and that pet owners want what's best for their four-legged family members," said Steven Feldman, Executive Director of HABRI. "Embrace helps to provide and sustain healthy pets, so that, as family, they are protected against unexpected accidents and illnesses."
Scientific evidence increasingly shows that pets improve heart health; alleviate depression; increase well-being; support child health and development; and contribute to healthy aging. In addition, companion animals can assist in the treatment of a broad range of conditions from post-traumatic stress to Alzheimer's disease to autism spectrum disorder.
The benefits of the human-animal bond impact more than just human health. Findings from a recent HABRI survey of 2,000 pet owners demonstrate that knowledge of the scientific research on the human-animal bond motivates pet owners to take better care of their pets. From providing pets with higher quality nutrition to purchasing pet health insurance, spreading awareness of the health benefits of pet ownership improves pet health and welfare.
"Embrace believes in giving back to the pet care community, and supporting HABRI research is perfectly aligned with our company values. We look forward to playing a supportive role for HABRI and helping discover more ways in which pets improve our well-being," added Jaiswal.
