PetCoach is an online service and app for concerned pet parents. PetCoach gives people access to detailed and informed information related to pet health and well-being, and it also has a network of readily accessible veterinarians available at any time to answer pressing questions.
The medical pet platform was founded by Brock Weatherup, the former Chief Digital Officer at PetSmart, and he leveraged his experience in the digital field of pet care to create both the app and the website.
Beyond PetCoach's on-demand vets, pet parents can learn about information related to their specific pet through the platform's channels. The website's 'Education Center' is divided into five categories -- Health, Behaviour, Nutrition, Care, and Breeds -- and those can each be further broken down so pet owners can get more thorough and specific information that pertains to their animal.
