Amazon Mulls Offering Veterinary Telehealth, CNBC Reports
--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.
