Tanika Hall | ZooDoc
In This Episode
In this episode of the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak sit down with Tanika Hall, the CEO and founder of ZooDoc, a platform designed to connect pet owners with specialized veterinarians through transparent pricing and smart triage tools. With a background in human health tech and AI, Tanika brings a data-driven perspective to the challenges of modern pet care, focusing on how to make finding a specialist – whether for a dog or a frog – seamless and stress-free.
Tanika shares the impetus behind ZooDoc and explains its multi-faceted business model that benefits both sides of the market. For veterinarians, the platform serves as a powerful lead-generation engine at a time when clinic calendars are beginning to show gaps for the first time in years. You will discover how features like tele-triage allow clinics to monetize initial consultations while ensuring only the right cases occupy in-clinic appointments. The episode also dives into the future of pet tech, including Tanika’s plans for global expansion and integrated financing to ensure no pet is left without care due to financial barriers.
