Dutch is a direct-to-consumer pet telehealth platform that connects dog and cat owners with licensed veterinarians for unlimited video consultations, personalized treatment plans, and - where state law allows - prescription medication delivered to the door. Founded in 2021 by Hims & Hers co-founder Joe Spector, Dutch runs a membership model starting around $15/month, operates in all 50 states, and has logged more than 700,000 virtual visits while building an AI-first veterinary EMR and its own prescription and pharmacy infrastructure.
Pawp is a New York-based digital health clinic for pets that gives members unlimited 24/7 access to licensed veterinarians by chat and video, plus an optional $3,000 emergency fund - all on a single low monthly plan that covers up to six dogs and cats per household, with no age, breed, or pre-existing-condition restrictions. Pitched as an affordable alternative to traditional pet insurance, it aims to cut out unnecessary vet visits and prevent the financial euthanasia that happens when owners can't afford emergency care.
