With the growing ownership of pets, together with the longer working hours and smaller families,pet owners struggle to meet the needs and welfare of their pets. More than 90% of Singaporean petowners find that today’s means of getting pet services and supplies (i.e. going to a pet shop, word-of-mouth recommendations etc) are overtly expensive and inconvenient. There is a market gap inboth Singapore & Asia’s pet industries that brings the pet community together to share knowledge,purchase supplies with informed reviews and get inexpensive services, without the hassle ofleaving their homes.
Cuzzey’s localized pet marketplace platform (mobile & web) has 1) a pet services marketplace & 2)pet supplies & food e-commerce. We allow pet owners to find service providers from all categories(e.g. Pet grooming, training, walking, boarding, sitting, outing, dating and even cremation) at avalue-for-money rates. Cuzzey rides on the sharing economy where pet owners can also be serviceproviders, e.g. a pet walker can walk his pet and another pet owner’s pet for $10/hour. Our multi-vendor ecommerce marketplace centralized pet shops and provides the necessary system in placedfor vendors to manage orders, delivers and engage with clients (e.g. personalized shopfront). Petowners makes more informed purchasing decision based on our transparent review and ratingsystem by fellow pet owners.
