Our take
The pet care industry is expected to increase by nearly 300% in the next ten years, with vet care the fastest-growing segment. However, many vet clinics and animal hospitals still rely on outdated pen-and-paper processes. Bond Vet that leverages technology to offer pet owners faster, more efficient pet healthcare.
The company runs a number of technology-enabled veterinary clinics. It has adopted a similar model to CityMD clinic's, but for pets. Pet owners can walk in to their animal hospital for urgent care or schedule their visits online. What's more, Bond Vet are significantly cheaper than emergency hospitals.
The growing demand for veterinary services has drawn numerous new investors into the market. Bond Vet have raised significant funding and this will be used to further expand outside of New York, adding locations in Chicago, New Jersey, Boston, and Washington DC.
