Walmart+ and Pawp Team Up to Unleash 24/7 Pet Telehealth Benefit

The new Walmart+ benefit will give members unlimited access to veterinary experts anytime, anywhere.

At a glance:

  • Walmart+ will launch a new pet telehealth benefit later this year in collaboration with Pawp. This service will offer members around-the-clock virtual access to veterinary professionals, at no extra cost.
  • Pawp was initially piloted as a limited time offer last year. Its transition to a full-time Walmart+ benefit was driven by member insights and positive feedback.
  • Key features of Pawp for Walmart+ members include expert veterinary support through on-demand virtual visits and comprehensive care plans to identify your pet’s immediate needs as well as their long-term goals

Cue the ap-paws: It’s National Pet Month and Walmart+ is giving its members another reason to celebrate. The membership today announced it is teaming up with Pawp to introduce a new telehealth benefit to its pet-owning members. Starting later this year, Walmart+ members will have 24/7 virtual access to Pawp’s team of veterinary professionals, providing unparalleled convenience and peace of mind. This new benefit provides a free pet health service for Walmart+ members during a time when costs are rising for traditional veterinary services and access to care has become increasingly difficult.

Walmart+ initially piloted Pawp as a limited-time offer last year, knowing that over 75% of its members are pet owners*. The pet telehealth service quickly gained popularity amongst members, boasting a high redemption rate and becoming Walmart+’s most successful limited-time offer of 2023.

“Our focus has always been on evolving Walmart+ in a way that puts our members first. Seeing how well-received Pawp was as a limited-time offer, we knew it was a valuable addition that would enhance the Walmart+ experience,” said Venessa Yates, senior vice president and general manager of Walmart+. “This new benefit illustrates our continued evolution, as we strive to provide seamless, time-saving, and affordable solutions tailored to our members’ needs.”

Pawp is a leading digital health clinic and telehealth platform for pet owners that connects them with veterinary professionals. The platform offers expert support, whether that’s a second opinion or general guidance. Key features of Pawp for Walmart+ members include:

  • Affordable Care – Pawp is offered as a free pet telehealth service in the Walmart+ benefit suite, saving members $99 on the cost of a standalone Pawp membership.
  • Expert support – Veterinary team comprised of veterinarians and licensed veterinary techs hired and trained in-house, each with at least five years clinical experience.
  • Around the clock access to vets – 24/7 access to licensed veterinary professionals via text and video. Unlimited on-demand virtual visits providing expert advice.
  • Personalized plans – Actionable post-visit care plans with product recommendations.

“At Pawp, our mission is to make high quality, convenient pet care accessible to a much larger part of the population and, for over a year now, Walmart+ has been an incredible partner in helping us realize this vision,” said Marc Atiyeh, CEO of Pawp. “We’re excited to deepen this relationship by incorporating Pawp as an ongoing, first-of-its-kind pet health benefit for Walmart+ and look forward to supporting Walmart+ members with their pets care for years to come.”

The Pawp Walmart+ benefit is another way Walmart serves as a one-stop destination for pet needs. Walmart also offers customers the option to opt into automatic deliveries on frequently purchased pet products for added convenience, an online pet pharmacy program and a wide assortment of leading pet products offered at every day low prices. Walmart is offering thousands of deals and hundreds of rollbacks throughout National Pet Month.

Walmart+ is Walmart’s membership program, offering members a wide range of benefits that save them time and money. At just $98/year or $12.95/month, the membership combines digital and in-store benefits like unlimited free deliveries, fuel and travel discounts, early access to promotions and events, Paramount+ streaming, free returns from home and so much more.
