The problem

Pet owners in Uzbekistan hunt for vets, pet shops, lost-pet news and trustworthy specialists across scattered Telegram groups and social networks. It takes time and often yields nothing.
  • Vets, pet shops and lost-pet news are scattered across Telegram groups and social networks
  • Searching takes a lot of time and often yields no result
  • No trustworthy source of specialists

The solution

A pet ecosystem, not a listings board: lost-pet search, veterinary services, a pet marketplace and a specialist directory in one app, with an AI assistant to follow.
  • Search - Help finding lost animals
  • Veterinary - Clinics and vets
  • Marketplace - Pet products and services
  • Directory - A list of specialists

The company

What makes it different
An ecosystem, not a listings platform
Search, veterinary services, a pet marketplace, a specialist directory and, in future, an AI assistant, all on one platform, so pet owners get every service from one place.
Who it's for
  • Pet owners in Uzbekistan
  • Veterinary clinics, pet shops, breeders, groomers and pet hotels
How it makes money
  • Now: MVP stage, focused on building the user base
  • Next: advertising, premium listings and a SaaS subscription for clinics and pet businesses
  • Also: marketplace commission and paid services
Market
The number of pets in Uzbekistan and spending on them grow every year, and clinics and pet businesses are developing actively, yet no single digital platform brings them together. Expansion into Central Asia is planned for the next phase.
Competitors
  • Current alternatives - Telegram and Facebook groups, OLX and listings on social networks.
  • Standalone sites - Clinics' own websites and pet shops' separate online stores, not integrated.
