NEW YORK, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While their human counterparts suffered from increased anxiety during the pandemic, new data released today by Fetch by The Dodo pet insurance, a Company that provides the most comprehensive pet insurance coverage and health advice in the market, shows anxiety-related (emotional) claims for dogs decreased by 67% and have remained low since the onset of the pandemic.  However, during that same time period, the average number of claims per pet related to other specific behavioral disorders (physical), such as aggression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, increased dramatically by 408% since the onset of the pandemic. 

Key Points: 
  • "This data could indicate that our companion dogs who experience anxiety greatly benefited from our increased presence in their lives during the pandemic," said Dr. Audrey Ruple, Chair of the Fetch by The Dodo Veterinary Advisory Board.
  • The Company leveraged claims data from its internal Fetch Forward database, from the time period of October 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021, to determine its findings.
  • For this group, anxiety issues happen more frequently in puppies and older dogs, with less frequent claims occurring in mid-life.
