Snoots’ Post

Really enjoyed speaking with Emma Crosby on Sky News this morning about pet care, the cost of living crisis, and Snoots. Thanks for having us! Thanks David Cotgreave and the Hound team for making it happen!

Snoots is growing!! We are looking for a highly entrepreneurial product lead who loves dogs or cats more than humans (but also loves humans). Send your best recommendations my way.

As we continue on our mission at Snoots to make petcare affordable, we welcome the fact that the UK gov has recognized that our industry is deeply flawed and that our customers are truly struggling to get the care they need. However, I worry that this type of investigation will lead to wishy washy measures that large corporates will be able to skirt and just make it harder for independent vets to do their jobs and earn a living. There is no doubt that some in our industry are taking advantage of the outsized increase in demand to increase profits, but I can say with certainty that those funds do not flow to independent vets or to the vets who work so hard to take care of our fluff balls. The problem remains the same: An increase in the number of pets with a stagnant or decreasing pool of vets driven by unreasonable working conditions and the ridiculous expectations we place on our vets (and definitely not helped by Brexit 🇬🇧🇪🇺). The only path forward is innovation, fair and open competition and creativity, not regulation. If you are interested in joining us on our mission to use technology to make petcare affordable, we are hiring vets, nurses, product teams, engineers, and growth marketers. Reach out!

I don't spend too much time thinking about what the CMA will or won't do about vet pricing in the UK - what I do care about is the amazing work Snoots' team is doing actually making a difference in our industry. Special shout out to our amazing head vet Rachel Harris who is genuinely a superstar.
