Support for You…and Your Furry Friend

We get it, pets are like family. And you do whatever you can for your furry family. Check out these four tips below to learn how Rockwell Automation can support you and your pets year-round.

#1 Enroll in Pet Insurance
Rockwell Automation provides health care for all family members—even the four-legged ones! MetLife offers extensive, affordable pet insurance plans for dogs and cats to help reimburse you for pet medical expenses and unexpected trips to the vet. Because when it comes to giving your pet the best care, you don’t want to have to worry about the price tag.

Ready to enroll? You can enroll in this benefit anytime during the year. Call MetLife at 1.800.438.6388 or visit mybenefits.metlife.com.

#2 Don’t Miss an Annual Check-Up
Scheduling annual check-ups, exams, and vaccines for your pet allows the veterinarian to monitor their health and catch potential health concerns early on before serious treatment is needed.

Looking for a veterinarian? If you’re enrolled in MetLife pet insurance, you can visit any licensed veterinarian, emergency clinic, and have 24/7 access to the online vet chat service through the MetLife Pet mobile app. To get started, call MetLife at 1.800.438.6388 or visit mybenefits.metlife.com.

#3 Establish a Consistent Routine
Creating and maintaining a routine helps pets feel safe, secure, and happy. Feeding them, going on regular walks, and even going to bed at the same time every night can make a big difference in their behavior. If winding down at night is challenging, don’t forget you have access to the Calm mobile app premium membership—at no cost to you. The Calm mobile app offers hundreds of sleep stories, meditations, and relaxing sounds to help both you and your pet ease into a restful night.

Looking for an easier way to unwind at night? Register for Calm mobile app by visiting calm.com/b2b/rockwell-automation/subscribe and use your Rockwell Automation email address.

#4 Get Pet Parent Support
Owning a pet can increase your overall mental well-being. Whether it’s your dog’s excitement when you walk through the door or your cat purring in your lap—pets bring comfort, routine, and happiness. That being said, caring for an animal is a huge responsibility that can introduce new stressors, especially when life gets hectic.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t forget that Rockwell Automation provides access to counseling sessions through the ComPsych Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP can help you navigate through your life changes, relationship developments, work-life balance, parenting and family concerns, professional growth and development, managing finances, and more.
