WHY WHITE-LABEL TELETAILS

We power other brands. We don't compete with them.

Pet parents trust the names already in their lives: their insurer, their food brand, their employer, their vet clinic. So we deliver our care, our AI, and our platform through them and stay invisible. Pet parents get answers. Partners get the credit. The headaches stay with us: team management, care quality, and compliance.

We staff it.

Recruiting, training, and quality for a 24/7 clinical team is our job. Pet parents just get answers in seconds.

We handle compliance.

Care pro licensing, credentialing, and quality standards. Managed in-house, end to end.

We stay invisible.

No TeleTails logo in the pet parent's app. The trust builds where it should: with the brand they chose.

OUR FOUNDERS

Three co-founders. A much bigger pack.

A founding team with nearly 8 years of work together, and an in-house care team of vet pros and certified trainers we could not possibly improve on. Collectively: decades with dogs, thousands of nose boops, and plenty of our own 2am 'is this normal?' moments.

OUR STORY

From veterinary clinic software to 1.5M pet parents.

2019

Clinic software

After a year of heads-down building, TeleTails launches as telehealth software for veterinary clinics. Born at Columbia Business School. Inspired by a yellow Lab named Rosie.

2020

Care through COVID

Clinics closed their doors. Our platform kept vet teams connected to their patients when in-person visits weren't an option.

2022

Care goes in-house

We launch a new platform built for pet brands and start delivering care ourselves: an in-house team of experienced vet pros, hired and trained by us. No marketplace. No rotating strangers.

2023

The white-label pivot

Our first white-label partnerships go live. Insurers, pet brands, and employers begin offering 24/7 care under their own names, powered by our platform.

2024

Care for the whole pet

Certified dog trainers join the team, and we stop waiting for problems. Health, behavior, check-ins, and follow-ups: care for the whole pet, not just the sick one. One-off consults become ongoing relationships.

2025

AI, built in-house

We build Telly, our own AI, trained on years of our real conversations with pet parents. It answers instantly, knows when to hand off to a person, and speaks in each partner's voice. Vet pros still lead every case.

MEET TELLY

Human-first AI, trained on 7 years of real care.

Telly is our AI pet care agent, built on millions of proprietary consults. It answers instantly, knows its limits, and hands off to a live vet pro the moment a case calls for one. AI optional. Humans always.

Our own models

Trained on 7 years of proprietary consult data and evaluated on every message. Purpose-built for pet care, not adapted from a general chatbot.

Built for many brands

One platform, engineered multi-tenant from the ground up. Every partner runs a fully customized care experience under their own identity.

Humans in the loop

Escalation to a live vet pro is designed into every conversation. Not bolted on.
