How this AI-powered app is empowering a new generation of pet parents
Pets’ place within the home continue to take center stage in 2025.
Not only is the number of pet owners increasing, fueled in part during the pandemic, the very nature of pet ownership is also fundamentally changing.
For instance, 82% of pet owners describe their pet as “like my own child.” In turn, this trend is giving rise to a generation of Millennial and GenZ owners who strive to give their pets the very best life possible.
As an example, 60% of Millennials and GenZers spend more on their pets than on themselves, across products and services such as dietary supplements, pet clothing, medicine and grooming.
Meanwhile, more than half of Britain’s dog owners feel they should be entitled to so-called “pet-ernity leave” to give their pets the best start in life with care and attention during those early formative months.
At the same time, the shifting in pet expectations is also coupled with the prohibitive costs. As an increasing number of companies return to the office full-time, dog owners are faced with rising daycare and dog walking expenses.
What’s more, veterinary costs are increasingly expensive and the pet insurance industry is problematic. Around a third of Millennial and GenZ pet owners report having gone into debt because of pet-related expenses.
Dosty is an all-in-one app helping pet owners navigate ongoing and emergency care for pet owners who want the best for their adoptive family members.
A new kind of pet care app
Dosty’s app is built on proprietary AI that considers 40 different data points such as breed, diet, and health history, to offer expert insights tailored to each pet’s unique profile.
At an affordable price point, it’s a welcome support.
The company aims to help pet parenting education and support catch up to the greater paradigm shift in younger generations. For example, although the desire to treat our pets like family members comes from a place of love, it can sometimes lead to negative consequences.
For one, 60% of dogs in the US are overweight, however 3 in 5 owners don’t consider their dog’s weight an issue. Meanwhile, problems like anxiety and behavioral issues can arise if pets are improperly socialized.
Dosty helps owners make better care decisions for their pets and educates first-time pet owners on the needs of their breed. Further, while every pet owner needs to maintain regular vet visits to keep vaccinations and boosters up to date, the in-built symptom checkers, daily routine tools, and health tracker mean that owners have an easier time managing daily care and spotting the signs that indicate there might be a more serious health problem.
Behind the app
Ayaz Ahmadov, the CEO and founder of Dosty, came up with the idea for an all-in-one platform from his frustration with using multiple apps to take care of his three labradors.
With a database with over 2,600 expert-written articles supporting over 400 dog and cat breeds, Dosty prioritizes professional input to ensure app features and advice are authoritative and reliable.
In a market increasingly populated by AI-driven apps, Dosty ensures reliability with its extensive research and development and vet-certified content.
The company is globally accessible through major platforms like the App Store and Google Play, and also via its website.
