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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vet-record) was founded by Brock Weatherup, the former Chief Digital Officer at [PetSmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bausch-lomb-project-watson), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covet), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **On-demand Pet Health Services:** Opportunity for pet health startups to offer convenient access to professional veterinary advice and information. - **Digital Pet Care Platforms:** Disruptive potential in creating comprehensive online platforms that provide pet owners with a range of information and services. - **Personalized Pet Health Information:** Innovation opportunity lies in developing platforms that offer customized and detailed information related to individual pets and their specific needs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pet Health Tech:** Opportunity for companies to develop and provide digital tools and services focused on pet health. - **Online Veterinary Services:** Disruptive potential in creating platforms that offer virtual veterinary consultations and advice. - **Pet Care Education:** Opportunity for businesses to provide educational resources and information for pet owners through online platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Emergency Pet Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-health-emergencies.md) - [Virtual Veterinarian Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/askvet.md) - [Free Pet Parent Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petconnect-by-iams.md) - [AI-Powered Pet Health Assessments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-health-assessment.md) - [AI Pet Care Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-pet-care.md) - [Pet Health Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-app1.md) - [Pet Care Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peqaboo.md) - [Expert-Led Dog Training Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expert-led-dog-training-app.md) - [Pet Care Management Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paw-parent.md)
