Ep. 136: Eric Melchor talks with Sufyan Osamah, founder of HonestDog, about the future of pets.

Sufyan started HonestDog with the realization that pets should not be sold on classifieds. After talking to hundreds of pet parents, vets, ethical breeders, and animal shelters, it became clear that there has to be a better way. With HonestDog he wants to bring transparency, accountability and fun to the often complicated and frustrating process of getting a pet by combining education, expert-backed vetting standards and a holistic user journey from “cradle to grave”.
