Vetted Bet That Pet Care Should Feel Like a Game - and Pay You Back
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?
Pawp
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.
