Insights
- Veterinary software and digital pet health accounted for about 82% of the $92.5 million in disclosed funding across these Pet Tech deals, excluding SATELLAI’s undisclosed Series A amount.
- Digitail and Lupa alone raised $43 million, showing that veterinary practice-management software was the clearest scale category in recent Pet Tech funding.
- Connected pet hardware remained active, but most wearable rounds were still early-stage and focused on product development, manufacturing, clinical validation, or international launch.
- All 12 companies kept their official valuation undisclosed, which suggests Pet Tech investors and founders remain more willing to disclose round size than pricing.
- Tandem’s $10 million pre-seed round stood out because its integrated tele-vet, mobile-care, and pharmacy model requires operational capital alongside software development.
- China was particularly visible in smart pet devices through SATELLAI, PettiChat, and Pilton, while North America and Europe led in veterinary SaaS and tele-veterinary care.
- AI was central to nearly every category, from veterinary documentation and radiology workflows to at-home diagnostics, pet health wearables, and behavioral interpretation.
