Our Conviction
Pet care is a $109B industry running on software built in the 2000s.
Institutional capital, consolidation, and a new generation of operators are reshaping pet care. Businesses are getting larger and more sophisticated, but the technology powering them hasn’t kept pace.
Pet parents expect seamless digital experiences. So do the people caring for their pets. Yet both are still stuck with clunky, outdated software that creates friction for customers and makes work harder for staff.
We built Cuddles to change that: modern, enterprise-grade infrastructure that helps operators scale, empowers staff, and delivers the experience today’s pet parents expect.
Let’s build something
great together.
Whether you’re evaluating platforms or thinking about joining the team,
we’d love to connect.
