Walmart adds pet telehealth perk to membership program

Walmart is offering a vet telehealth service as it seeks to expand the size of its subscription-based membership program and lower costs for pet owners. 

The retailer announced on Tuesday that it is partnering with Pawp, a provider of 24/7 virtual veterinary care, to offer exclusive services for Walmart+ members.

Later this year, members will gain access to all of Pawp’s virtual team of veterinary professionals through text and video. They will also get post-visit care plans with product recommendations, according to Walmart.
