A Miami Beach startup closed its vet clinics, bought an Israeli AI app, and rebuilt itself around Care Coins - digital points you earn for walking, brushing and feeding your dog, then trade for real discounts. The pitch: what if Strava and Duolingo had a puppy?
Mixlab is a modern veterinary compounding pharmacy that pairs a digital prescribing platform with custom-made, flavored pet medications delivered to the home. Founded in 2017 in New York, it lets veterinarians write and approve prescriptions in seconds while pet owners skip the clinic pickup and the spit-out pill. Mixlab compounds species-specific formulations for dogs, cats, horses, exotics and zoo animals, and in 2026 introduced Maisy, an AI health partner built on its first-party pharmacy data.
