Petfolk is ready to scale its in-person, virtual and emergency vet services.
“I couldn’t be more excited to have the support of this amazing group of investors and pet lovers as we set out to reshape the industry,” said Dr. Audrey Wystrach, Petfolk Co-CEO and Founder who has been practicing veterinary medicine for 25+ years. “This capital will allow us to rapidly expand our #1 ranked veterinary practices to more communities, pets, and vets. Our aim is to make ownership and care significantly more enjoyable for pet parents and the amazing vets who provide their services.”
What is Petfolk?
Petfolk was founded in 2020, with the goal of transforming the veterinary industry by combining proprietary technology and a data platform. The company currently operates in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and estimates it will see over 40,000 pets this year.
It’s planning on launching a new 24/7 virtual care service soon.
The investment round was led by White Star Capital and Michael Wystrach, who founded and sold Freshly for $1.5 billion to Nestle in 2020.
