The challenge

Manual claims, and a guarantee that stopped at the first order

Before SavedBy, a lost or damaged shipment meant a fully manual process for Pet Releaf's customer experience team: investigating the shipment, reviewing tracking, gathering photos, deciding on a resolution, and coordinating a refund or replacement by hand.

Their previous package protection provider didn't integrate with subscriptions, so coverage applied only to a customer's first order, never to the recurring ones that make up most of Pet Releaf's business. That gap pushed nearly all subscriber claims back onto manual handling, and left Pet Releaf absorbing the cost of refunds and replacements directly.

“Our previous package protection didn't easily integrate with subscription, so a customer might check out with protection but only get it on their first order and not recurring orders. This led to customer frustration and more manual work on our end.” Miranda Carney, Digital Marketing Manager, Pet Releaf

The solution

One subscription environment, satisfaction guaranteed

Subscription flexibility already sits at the center of how Pet Releaf keeps customers: subscribers can change delivery schedules, swap products, skip, pause, or cancel without contacting support, inside a branded experience that feels connected to the rest of the brand. Loyalty adds another layer, letting customers earn cash off or free product as they stay subscribed.

That focus shows in the numbers. Subscription orders make up more than half of all Pet Releaf orders, ahead of one-time purchases: 56% year to date, and 71% this past quarter.

Subscription share: 56% year to date, 71% last quarter

SavedBy extends that same environment with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so customers get peace of mind on every order, recurring included, without ever leaving the subscription dashboard they already use.

“For a pet brand with a strong subscription business, the combination is the best we have found in our research. Having the two teams work together reduces communication headaches on our end, and SavedBy/Smartrr has always been more than willing to solve our issues quickly and find custom solutions for us.” Miranda Carney, Digital Marketing Manager, Pet Releaf
The results since launch on February 17, 2026: 46.2% website opt-in rate, 26.3% subscription opt-in rate, and 2.97% checkout conversion after launch, unchanged from 2.96% before. By resolving claims before they reach Pet Releaf's team, SavedBy kept an estimated 2,400 to 3,200 hours of resolution time out of the support queue. Handle time, first to last email: 55.3 hours average, 41.4 hours median.

Messages per thread: 5.6 average, 5 median

Customer experience

70% of claims resolved before reaching Pet Releaf's team

That deflection rate is confirmed on Pet Releaf's own Peel dashboard. Across the 58 customers SavedBy served directly, it exchanged 334 messages (193 from SavedBy, 141 from customers), resolving claims end to end.

“Thank you for handling this matter so promptly and efficiently! I appreciate your time and effort!”

“Appreciate the insight! Refund it is, thank you so much, Jenny! You've been incredibly helpful.”

Impact on the team

More time for the questions that need a person

For orders covered by the guarantee, Pet Releaf's customer experience team now directs customers through an automated claims process instead of independently investigating and funding each resolution from start to finish.

“That gives our customer experience team more time to focus on questions where their product knowledge and personal support add the most value. It also creates a more consistent process for customers experiencing a lost, stolen, or damaged shipment.” Miranda Carney, Digital Marketing Manager, Pet Releaf

Why it works

A connected retention stack

SavedBy Satisfaction Guaranteed backs every order with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, recurring included, inside the same dashboard, with automated claims instead of manual investigation. Smartrr Subscriptions handles subscription management, loyalty, and a branded customer portal: the operational foundation Pet Releaf's subscribers manage themselves. Peel Insights gives Pet Releaf visibility into how much of its support volume SavedBy is deflecting before it ever reaches the team.

“Half of customers opt into protection, more than 5,000 orders have been protected, and checkout conversion remains essentially unchanged. It has saved our small customer service team meaningful time. It has been very worth it for us to add SavedBy.”
