Fetch by The Dodo Debuts Fetch Forward, The First and Only Predictive Health Platform for Pets

Fetch by The Dodo, a leading pet insurance provider in North America, has launched Fetch Forward, the first and only predictive health platform for pets. Initially, Fetch Forward will be available to be used as a health report for dogs. All dog owners in the U.S. can claim a spot on an early access watchlist with a valid email address, as health reports, which will be available later in 2022, will be free for a limited time.

“Fetch Forward empowers pet parents to take control of the health and wellbeing of their pets like never before,” said Paul Guyardo, President and CEO of Fetch. “It packs a lot of power into a user-friendly interface to help adoring pet parents give their pets happier, healthier and longer lives.”

The Fetch Health Report will provide dog owners with the ability to understand their dog’s health trajectory and outcomes. Through the sharing of simple details about their pet (breed, age, zip code, etc.), a patent-pending computational model produces a report that identifies what conditions a dog is most likely to experience at every stage of its life and provide educated recommendations to help prevent or proactively manage those risks in both the short and long term.

“Fetch Forward brings together vet medicine and advanced data science in a fundamentally new way,” said Dr. Audrey Ruple, Associate Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Quantitative Epidemiology at Virginia Tech, who assisted in the building of Fetch Forward. “As a veterinarian researcher whose mission is to increase the longevity and quality of our pets’ lives, I see Fetch Forward as a breakthrough moment, and the Fetch Health Report is an incredible introduction to the platform.”
