## Resource

In this episode of The Buyout Show, Lucas and Luna dive into a rapidly consolidating niche: pet insurance. They break down how private equity firms are rolling up regional pet insurers, the numbers behind the market's growth, and what it means for pet owners facing rising premiums. With US pet insurance premiums now exceeding $5 billion annually, firms like JAB Holding Company and others are betting that emotional attachment to pets creates sticky, high-margin revenue. But as M&A accelerates, will competition shrink and prices rise? Lucas and Luna examine one recent deal—the acquisition of a mid-sized insurer by a PE-backed platform—and discuss the economics of insuring a pet versus a human. #PetInsurance #PrivateEquity #RollUps #MergersAndAcquisitions #JABHolding #PetHealthcare #InsuranceConsolidation #Veterinary #Business #Finance #BusinessNews #Investing #InsuranceTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #LucasAndLuna #PetOwnerEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
