Industry Overview

Global pet care apps market was valued at $1.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $2.0 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2026-2035). The rising trend of pet ownership and the growing preference of pet owners toward convenient and accessible pet care services are fueling the growth of pet care apps. These apps help owners manage daily responsibilities through features like health tracking, vet appointment scheduling, access to pet supplies, and tools for finding caregivers or daycares. By streamlining essential tasks, they make pet care more organized and accessible.

As pet ownership continues to increase, demand for digital tools that improve pets' well-being and simplify care continues to grow. The American Pet Products Association (APPA) reports that the US pet industry spending reached $152 billion in 2024, reflecting steady growth and resilience. Pet ownership has risen across the board, with 51% of US households (68 million) owning a dog and 37% (49 million) owning a cat.

Market Dynamics

Growing Focus on Pet Health and Well-Being Drives App Adoption

Growing awareness of pet health and wellness is one of the main factors boosting demand for pet care apps. Pet owners are becoming more proactive about their pets' well-being and are looking for convenient tools that provide reliable information and support. Pet care apps meet this need by offering features such as activity tracking, medication reminders, and educational resources, helping owners take better care of their pets.

In response to this demand, companies are launching health and well-being-focused platforms with integrated features. For instance, in November 2024, myPetBlu launched a new all-in-one pet care app. It centralizes pet care tasks like meal tracking, medication scheduling, and veterinary communication in a user-friendly interface. The app also includes a pet community forum and educational resources for users to exchange insights and stay informed about pet health. MyPetBlu has simplified pet care by consolidating tasks like tracking health, feeding schedules, and medication in one app.

Integration of Intelligent Assistants and Chatbots Simplifies Pet Care

Advancements in artificial intelligence are transforming pet care apps, with intelligent assistants and chatbots making it easier for owners to manage their pets' needs. These tools provide instant access to personalized advice, health insights, and product recommendations, helping users make informed decisions and stay engaged with their pets' well-being.

Reflecting this trend, companies in the pet care app market are increasingly integrating advanced technologies like AI assistants and chatbots to deliver more personalized care experiences.

In December 2024, Petbarn, part of Greencross Pet Wellness Company, partnered with Microsoft and Insight Enterprises to create PetAI, an AI-powered assistant providing personalized pet care advice and product recommendations. PetAI was launched on Petbarn's website in October 2024 and has since been integrated into the Petbarn App.
Farmina Pet Foods offers the Genius AI platform, a chatbot that provides pet health and nutrition guidance through artificial intelligence combined with veterinary expertise. The platform was launched in 2024 and operates as a 24/7 online consultation service for pet owners seeking advice on dog and cat health, nutrition, and care issues.

Growing Adoption of Veterinary Care Apps

The veterinary care segment is expected to hold a significant share of the pet care app market, driven by the rising need for platforms that simplify veterinary consultations and appointment scheduling. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 37% of US pet owners are concerned about access to veterinary care, with 60% citing affordability and 32% pointing to appointment availability as major challenges.

Pet veterinary care apps address these concerns by offering convenient access to professional advice, appointment booking, and essential health information. Many apps now include telemedicine features that allow remote consultations for non-emergency cases, helping pet owners manage their pets' health more efficiently. Reflecting this demand, companies are launching comprehensive solutions to improve access to veterinary services.

In March 2025, Thrive Pet Healthcare launched a new app that offers easy access to veterinary support for pet owners. The free app serves over 300 veterinary hospitals in the US, providing expert care and personalized health management for pets. The app is more comprehensive than the previous version, serving 30 hospitals. It enables pet owners to access health records, connect with the healthcare team, book/view appointments, manage prescriptions, track health issues with notes, and locate hospitals for primary, specialty, and emergency care, including an SOS feature for quick access to emergency services. Additionally, the app offers pet photo galleries, personalized pet profiles, health articles, daily schedules with reminders, and the option to enroll in Thrive Plus.
In October 2024, Mella Pet Care and Vetster teamed up to provide 24/7 veterinary care through the Mella app in the UK, Canada, and the US. The collaboration aims to revolutionize pet care by offering convenient and innovative health solutions for pets.

North America Leads the Global Pet Care Apps Market Growth

North America dominates the pet care app market, driven by high pet ownership rates, increasing pet wellness spending, and a growing preference for digital convenience.

According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet ownership in the US reached 94 million households in 2024, up from 82 million in 2023. The rise is particularly strong among younger demographics, with Gen Z pet ownership increasing by 43.5%, and 20% of US households now owning pets. This growing base of tech-savvy pet owners continues to drive innovation and adoption in the pet care app market across North America.
