Chewy Answers Coronavirus Challenge With Telehealth for Pets
Pet supply e-commerce company Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) is expanding its business by offering telehealth services for pets. With this service, pet owners can get questions answered by a professional without having to leave their home.
Called Connect With a Vet, the pilot program began back in May, according to a press release on Wednesday. It's expanded some since then, but now Chewy says it's ready to take its telehealth offering nationwide.
The coronavirus pandemic is pushing businesses to create solutions to new problems. Having acknowledged the challenge of going to a veterinarian's office these days, Chewy CEO Sumit Singh said, "So, we thought, 'Why not come up with a solution that can help both communities, our customers and veterinarians, in this time of greatest need?'"
