Our take
As most pet owners know, visits to the vet can be eye-wateringly expensive. That’s not just a financial cost, but a welfare risk for pets as owners often wait until their pet is experiencing a much larger issue so that they can make the most of one vet visit and just one fee.
Dutch flips the veterinary business model on its head by providing a telemedicine service for pets through a monthly subscription. Pet owners are asked to provide a few details, after which they can set up a time for a video call. And once they've completed their first visit, they can reconnect with a vet at any time through the platform.
The company has invested funding in growing its electronic medical records database - to make it easier for pet owners to collect and share their pets’ data and prescriptions. It's also been growing its pharmacy network, and even launched pet insurance in partnership with Pets Best.
While it began with a focus on chronic pet health, Dutch has since grown into a full-service virtual care platform. With smart tech, fast growth, and a loyal user base, it's becoming a go-to for modern pet care. Plus, it recently announced its was pursuing its next stage of growth by expanding its marketing team and efforts.
