Our Team

Chewy’s Pet Health is on a mission to build innovative solutions for our customers and our partner vets. We build data driven solutions to bring veterinarians and pet parents together on a single platform. For veterinarians, we bring best-in-class practice management software, Rhapsody, with industry leading veterinary vocabulary, mobile workflow, and scalability for corporate groups of all sizes, as well as best in class analytics solutions to unlock full potential of the practice. For pet parents, we bring a best-in-class mobile app, Boop, a membership- based experience to deeply engage with their veterinarians. Through Boop, pet parents have seamless access to book appointments, manage their pets' medical records, sign-up for wellness/insurance programs, and ultimately build a rich, long-term relationship with their veterinarians.
