October 24 2023 - 10:05AM
Dow Jones News
--Amazon.com is considering an expansion into veterinary
telehealth in its latest bid to compete with Walmart, which began
offering the service to Walmart+ subscribers earlier this year,
CNBC reports, citing people familiar with the matter.
--Walmart earlier this year signed a deal with veterinary
telehealth provider Pawp to offer Walmart+ subscribers free access
to the startup's membership for a year in an offering set to expire
Nov. 19, and Amazon could turn to Pawp to fuel a potential pet
telehealth offering in time for the holiday season, according to
the report.
Amazon, which has already expanded into human health with its
acquisition of One Medical, is a dominant player in pet food and
supplies but hasn't so far meaningfully invested in pet health,
CNBC reports.
