Market Size

70% of US households today are pet owners. In 2021 alone, pet owners in the US spent over 109 billion dollars on their pets, growing annually by 13% over the past four years. 

Pet expenditure is no longer a discretionary expense, but rather a part of the mandatory family budget.

Features | Solution

Location based tracking 

Centered around sourcing data from Google Maps and Yelp's API, We pull data to provide pet friendliness scores, menu items for pets, and sort locations into categories like vets, parks, and restaurants.

​Activity

Much like running apps, Strava and AllTrails, routes are tracked and activity is reported on an instance and weekly basis.
