Problem
Animal shelters face challenges in providing comprehensive post-adoption support to new pet owners, leading to potential difficulties in pet care and adjustment. Inconsistent follow-up and fragmented access to resources can result in increased stress for both pets and owners, and, in some cases, returns to the shelter.
Solution

The platform provides adopters with access to shelter-branded educational content, tailored support, and digital medical records. Shelters benefit from automated post-adoption follow-up and streamlined communication, while veterinary practices and pet care providers gain access to a new client funnel. By facilitating a connected ecosystem, Petszel aims to improve pet retention rates and ensure a smoother transition for pets into their new homes.
