Move over hoomans. Our multi-currency wallet just got a new expansion: YouTrip Pets! It’s time pets got some of the spotlight — and their very own app! Now pets can trade treats for toys without the hassle of bank fees (or human error).

Looking back on our year in lockdown, it’s pretty clear who our MVPs were. Other than our trusty YouTrip cards, with which we juiced the benefits of online shopping, our constant support throughout the ups-and-downs of the pandemic was our pets — without whom we would have quite frankly gone bonkers. In fact, in a study done by the University of York and the University of Lincoln, it was found that sharing a home with a pet helped to reduce psychological stress, encourage better mental health and reduce loneliness during the lockdown. So we thought, what better way to celebrate the anniversary of Circuit Breaker than to launch YouTrip For Pets – centred around our favourite furry companions.

Why We Want To Create An App For Pets

We’ve created YouTrip with you at the focus of everything, and it’s been a blast. But we feel that it’s about time we served our furry friends and help make their lives a little easier. It’s the least we can do for them after all that they’ve done to get us through the past year

So, What’s YouTrip For Pets?

YouTrip For Pets is the first pet mobile wallet that allows its users to pay for toys with their treats! Supporting over 150+ pet treat brands and no conversion fees, your pets will be able to use any ol’ treat they have lying around.

By exchanging their treats for toys, teach your pets the valuable skill of taking care of their toys instead of ruining them in the next minute.

And with human social distancing, pets rarely get to see their furry pals as often as they’d like to too. Use YouTrip For Pets to empower your fur baby to send their favourite playmate some toys and treats, much like YouTrip Send!

To all you controlling pawrents, we even included a function for you to monitor your spending on your pets so that you’re always on top of things.

Happy April Fool’s – Sorry, There’s No YouTrip For Pets!

While we’re not actually creating an app for our pets, we do want to bring your attention to the strays & abandoned pets that don’t quite have the good life they deserve.

The reality is, these strays go day-to-day without a proper home, much less treats or toys.

While we’re glad that there are local societies that rescue, rehabilitate, sterilising & re-home as many of them as possible, funds are continuously and quickly depleting.

The success and extent of their efforts depend on the public’s generosity. So let’s support our local animal shelters and societies this April’s Fool!
