In this episode of “Just Vetting”, host Peter Tanella, Esq. sit down with Maya Shaposhnik Cadena, the inspiring founder of Vetted, who shares her journey from being a first-time French bulldog owner to creating a platform designed to empower pet parents at home.
She opens up about: ✨ The challenges of navigating pet health care alone ✨ The frustrations of unreliable online advice and the need for credible solutions ✨ Shadowing veterinary teams during COVID and seeing firsthand how many issues could be prevented with better education and proactive care ✨ Building and pivoting her business model — from telehealth, to in-clinic care inside dog daycare centers, to today’s gamified, app-based approach that combines education, rewards, and AI-powered health tools ✨ Innovative features like Doctor Poop (yes, really!) that help pet parents monitor their pets’ health from home ✨ The importance of empowering veterinary technicians, supporting veterinarians, and reducing caregiver burnout ✨ Lessons learned about pivoting, failure, and resilience as an entrepreneur
Today, Vetted is live as a global platform that gamifies pet care, rewards great pet parenting with Care Coins, and partners with brands to make pet health more affordable and engaging.
If you’re a pet parent, veterinarian, or just passionate about innovation in animal care, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
