Overview

Fuzzy offers 24/7 live chat and telehealth for pets, ship-to-home prescriptions, a vet-curated e-commerce marketplace, and educational content and programs. Its digitally-native approach can save pet parents up to $750 per year, according to CEO Zubin Bhettay. The platform has facilitated more than 1 million consultations and is operational in 25 locations; memberships start free and convert to $24.99 monthly or $99.99 annual plans. Leadership says accelerated growth enabled hiring and expanded partnerships, and the company expects 2021 revenue to be five times 2020. Planned uses of new capital include expanding the veterinary network, launching new product offerings, adding educational content, growing membership, and pursuing acquisitions over the next 6–12 months. Fuzzy was founded in 2016 and is based in San Francisco, positioning telehealth as a way to make pet care more frequent and accessible. Fuzzy Pet Health operates a subscription membership model that provides in-home vet checkups, medications, vaccines, and telemedicine access to members. The company recently launched a mobile app that lets members chat with vets in real time for diagnoses, prescriptions, and tailored recommendations. Fuzzy introduced an upgraded membership, Fuzzy Plus, focused on curative care and diagnostics (in-home cold laser therapy, regular blood panels). The business emphasizes more frequent, personalized engagement between vets and pet parents compared with traditional clinics. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, Fuzzy is expanding its veterinary services and geographic footprint. The company plans to expand to additional U.S. cities in 2018 and is using new funding to scale operations and membership offerings.
