AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CareFlash, LLC, a new-media healthcare and pet-care company announces the release of PrizedPals (https://www.PrizedPals.com) for families with pets and the pet-care industry.

PrizedPals offers branded, secure, invitation-only web and mobile micro-communities called CareCorrals. CareCorrals are compelling to families with pets which are healing, aging, living with chronic, cognitive or behavioral illness, facing end of life or grieving.

"Pets and people age, heal, die and grieve in their own unique ways – physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually," says Melissa Magnuson, Veterinarian/Owner of Canobie Lake, Greenland and All Pets Veterinary Hospitals. "CareCorrals inject a commonly absent ingredient into individualized healing dynamics. This 5^th dimension, Social Healing, arises through the ways CareCorrals remove emotional barriers, converting sympathy to empathy and enhancing how loved ones engage."

CareCorrals are created and run by families and include a voice-activated interactive storytelling tool, community blog, photo upload library, interactive calendar, 3D pet health animations and other features.

PrizedPals Strengthens Direct-to-Consumer Marketing for the Pet-Care Industry

"PrizedPals leverages 10 years of strategic insight in enhancing the community outreach, branding and word-of-mouth virality of pet-care providers," says Jay Drayer, CareFlash and PrizedPals Founder-CEO. "I founded PrizedPals' parent entity (CareFlash, LLC, http://www.careflash.com) in 2006 out of an extended experience as caretaker to a loved one. CareFlash offers the Careopolis (a people-centric version of a CareCorral) through its hundreds of partnerships from throughout: acute, post-acute and chronic healthcare providers; cognitive, behavioral care and addiction-recovery providers; hospice-palliative care providers; churches, synagogues and employers wishing to strengthen employee engagement."

A small sample of its partners includes: LHC Group, NxStage Dialysis/Kidney, Boon Group (Benefits TPA) and Seasons Hospice-Palliative Care (Nationwide). Likewise, hundreds of nonprofits such as Houston Hospice, Hand to Hold (NICU), Sims Foundation, Houston's Second Baptist Church and Seasons Foundation (Nationwide).

PrizedPals Leverages the Numerous Advantages of Human-Animal Connections for the Benefit of Pet-Care Organizations

PrizedPals is a thought-leader in benefiting mankind, through leveraging one of the most fundamental relationships human beings experience. European cave paintings illustrate humans have interacted with the animal kingdom for hundreds of centuries. PrizedPals leverages these bonds, broadening the therapeutic value that people-animal connections nurture in the physical and mental health and overall well-being of each. Aspects reach beyond the 85 million U.S. households with dogs, cats, birds and horses – to working, herding and barnyard animals. There are therapy pets that empower quality of life in disaster victims, in people incapacitated by sensory or limb-loss, and with behavioral and cognitive illness. In fact, pet-human interactions go beyond emotional benefits in enhancing infant immunity to infections, brain chemistry in mental disorders, lowering blood pressure – even predicting seizures and detecting cancer. To state the obvious, pets are good for people.
