- The rivalry between Amazon and Walmart intensifies as both giants aim to pioneer in the veterinary telehealth sector.
- Advancements in this area are likely to disrupt traditional pet healthcare, offering potential benefits and posing certain challenges.
In the relentless race towards innovation, American corporate giants Amazon and Walmart have set their sights on a new frontier: Veterinary telehealth. An already intensifying competition between the two companies has received renewed vigor as they seek to redefine pet healthcare. Both corporate behemoths understand that the future of healthcare is digital, and are working tirelessly to be at the forefront of this sector.
A surge in pet ownership, amplified by lockdown isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, has spiked an increase in pet healthcare spending. More than ever, pet parents are seeking convenient and accessible veterinary solutions for their furry friends. Enter telehealth — the use of digital information and communication technologies to access health care services remotely. With the potential to eliminate geographical restraints, reduce costs, and enhance the provision of care, telehealth is transforming human health care, and now it's set to do the same for animals.
