First hand: It\u0027s not just about inviting dogs to the office, but welcoming people with pets and even giving them benefits for vet bills
: Of course. I spent the whole pandemic in an empty office beside Riley, my 14-year-old cockapoo. She’s become a real office dog and comes every day. And she’s actually the inspiration behind Vetster too, so she’s very important.Vetster is North America’s fastest-growing pet tele-health marketplace. Basically, we match twenty different species of pets — not just cats and dogs, but rabbits and reptiles and birds — with veterinarians in those niches.
We’ve been home with our animals for a couple of years now, and they’ve provided so much happiness and companionship, and they’re members of the family, even more than before. Tons of people adopted a pet at the beginning of the pandemic and have never been separated from them, so there’s separation anxiety on both sides. When you ask these pet parents to go back into an office, if they’ve never thought about a care plan outside of themselves, their pet is a big factor in the job they’ll choose.
