Summary
The cost of pet healthcare has been rising in recent years and there seems to be no end in sight. What's more, the best technology and the best care have mostly been available only to those who can afford them.
Marc Atiyeh is the Founder and CEO of Pawp, "the digital clinic for pets" that gives dog and cat owners unlimited 24/7 access to licensed vets and a $3,000-a-year pet emergency fund.
Pawp's mission is to make pet healthcare much more affordable and accessible to the vast majority of Americans. By extension, the company's mission translates into the financial wellbeing of the human beings who serve as pet parents.
"Let Pawp be the first line of defense," says Marc. "Let's put in the hands of most Americans some of the best and most advanced pet care experts in the country."
Listen in as Marc describes the spark that led to the founding of Pawp and how he hopes the business can serve as a model that will lead to much-needed structural changes in the pet healthcare industry.
He also talks all things pet health and how your dog or cat's wellbeing has a direct influence on your own wellbeing.
