Make informed decisions about your dog’s health

Our Story

Doggo.Health was inspired by founder Sunny Shao’s rescue dog Luka.  As a dog lover and dog owner for most of her life, this was Sunny’s first time adopting a dog, and found herself researching online for a lot of dog health and wellness information. When Sunny met Dr. Elizabeth Davis in Spring 2020, the two of them bonded over their mutual love for dogs and helping both pet parents and the veterinary community in a post-COVID era.

Doggo.Health is reimagining how pet parents navigate health advice for their dogs, as they are often faced with confusing or conflicting information from different aspects of the pet world. By connecting dog owners to the veterinary community and science differently, their vision is to help pet parents everywhere access reliable veterinary advice and improve the experience for everyone involved.
