Meet 8 Companies Defining The Future Of Pet Care

Pets have been considered a central part of the family home for a long time, so it’s no surprise that the tech world caught up.

In the world of PetTech, 8 companies are reshaping the future of pet care.

We spoke to Ayaz Ahmadov, Founder at PetTech company Dosty, who helped pull together the list of 8 companies innovating in the space.

He commented “The practice of considering pets as integral parts of the family is increasingly becoming popular, shaping the array of products and services within the pet sector. This includes everything from pet-specific fashion and furniture to digital offerings that cater to the lifestyle of animal companions. Healthcare stands out as a key focus and aspiration. Veterinary facilities are currently grappling with a significant mismatch in workforce availability and need.

“Despite the unprecedented demand from pet owners for veterinary services, these clinics are struggling with a severe lack of veterinary professionals and technicians. To enhance care delivery efficiency, solutions such as telemedicine, home-based diagnostic tools, and the thoughtful incorporation of artificial intelligence are being explored.”
