Healthy Pets Insurance Talks to BBC Three Counties Radio
October 2009
Healthy Pets Chief Executive, Mark Effenberg, was recently featured in a live radio debate on BBC's Three Counties Radio.
Representing the pet insurance industry as a guest speaker on The JVS Consumer Show, he took part in the show's phone-in program where he answered questions on the merits of taking your dog into work.
Regularly listened to by an audience of up to 155,000, BBC Three Counties Radio often hosts topical phone-ins, providing lively debate on both sides. As one of the UKs premier pet insurance specialists and keen animal lovers, Healthy Pets regularly accommodates several dogs owned by its office staff - including three golden retrievers and a border terrier - at its Petersfield headquarters.
Mark Effenberg, a dog owner himself, commented: "The phone-in program was great fun! The benefits of allowing dogs into the workplace are immense, and many listeners were intrigued by the idea of allowing pets at work. Not only do they prove to be a huge stress reliever, but they have a relaxing presence amongst workers, helping to improve relationships amongst colleagues. ‘At Healthy Pets, we find that a happy workforce is a more productive workforce, and I implore more businesses to follow our example and allow employees to bring their dogs into the office with them.‘
For those businesses that would like to test the waters when it comes to allowing dogs into the workplace, the Blue Cross Fund runs an annual 'Take Your Dog To Work Day', which has proved to be a great success over the fourteen years it has been running for. The most recent event took place last month, with over 2,000 canine companions accompanying their owners into work.
The UKs leading independent pet insurance specialist, Healthy Pets only insures cats and dogs, allowing its staff to be experts in their field. A fully comprehensive website and excellent customer service facilities means many claims are processed often in the first 24 hours they are submitted.
Healthy Pets Ltd is located in Ridgeway Office Park, Petersfield, Hampshire.
