Element Inc. (Headquarters: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Tsutomu Kondo), which operates the pet insurance comparison site "Pet Insurance STATION" (https://www.pets-station.info/), is pleased to announce that as of June 2026, the cumulative number of applications has surpassed 80,000. In the 16 years since the agency consignment contract began in 2010, our service has been dedicated to promoting pet insurance since its early days. In recent years, with pets becoming more integrated into families and concerns about medical costs due to rising prices, users have rapidly increased. The expertise cultivated over many years of operation and our neutral comparison functions are supported by many pet owners. ■ "Rising Prices" and "Longer Lifespans for Pets" Boost Applications Currently, in our 17th year since the service began, interest in pet insurance is higher than ever before. This is due to the increased burden of "veterinary consultation costs" associated with recent price hikes. Furthermore, as pets live longer due to advancements in veterinary medicine, controlling lifelong medical expenses has become an important issue for pet owners. "Pet Insurance STATION" has been able to reach the significant milestone of 80,000 applications by responding to these changes and consistently providing the latest information in an easy-to-understand manner. ■ Reasons Why "Pet Insurance STATION" is Chosen The reasons why "Pet Insurance STATION" continues to be chosen by many pet owners lie in the following two functions: 1. Complete in 30 seconds! "Easy Simulation" Simply enter the pet's breed and age to instantly display insurance premiums from major insurance companies.
