The Rise of the Pet Care Industry and Mixlab’s Innovative Approach
As we navigate the post-pandemic world, it has become increasingly clear that our pets are no longer just companions – they’re family. With more people adopting pets, the global pet care industry is booming, with estimates suggesting it will reach $368 billion by 2030. Amidst this growth, there’s a growing need for veterinary services and innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of pet owners.
The Rise of Digital Veterinary Care
In recent years, dozens of companies have been working tirelessly to infuse technology into the care aspect of veterinary medicine. Airvet, Digitail, The Vets, Dutch, and Mixlab are just a few examples of companies that are revolutionizing the way veterinarians and pet owners interact.
Mixlab: A Pioneer in Digital Veterinary Care
Mixlab is one such company that’s making waves in the industry with its proprietary technology designed to help veterinarians digitally write and manage prescriptions. This innovative approach not only simplifies the prescription process but also provides pet owners with proactive text-based communication on the status of their pets’ medications.
Expanding Reach and Offerings
Since its inception, Mixlab has grown exponentially, expanding from operating in just two cities (New York and Los Angeles) to reaching thousands of veterinarians and pet owners across the country. The company’s active user base now includes 2,000 clinics, with sales growing by a staggering 50% year over year.
$10 Million Funding Boost
To meet the increasing demand for its services, Mixlab has announced an additional $10 million in funding, led by Vanterra Ventures and joined by Lakehouse Ventures. This investment will enable the company to open another location in the Miami area, expand its product offerings, and further develop its technology platform.
A Stronger Foundation
With this new injection of funds, Mixlab’s founder and CEO, Fred Dijols, plans to deploy resources into operations, product offering expansion, technology development, and reaching profitability. As he notes, "We’ve got a playbook that works on the operation side, and we know how to create a new facility and contribution margins… Now we’re at a point where we can finally put capital to work to enhance our technology platform and continue to create features for veterinarians and pet parents."
A Bright Future Ahead
As Mixlab continues to innovate and expand its reach, it’s clear that the company is well-positioned to meet the growing demands of the pet care industry.
