SEM Marketing Coordinator, Dutch

Dutch flips the veterinary business model on its head. The startup provides 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. Once you’ve completed your first visit, you can reconnect with a vet at any time through the platform.

Dutch has been investing funding in its intellectual property and growing its electronic medical records database - to make it easier for pet owners to collect and share their pets’ data and prescriptions. It has also been growing its pharmacy network, and recently announced the launch of pet insurance in partnership with Pets Best.

So far, the company has mainly focussed on chronic pet health issues, so to execute its vision of better pet health for all it will have to dramatically expand its service. It has, however, made an impressive start, and has already won the loyalty of tens of thousands of pet owners and counting.
