Our story

We didn't start with the weather.
We started with a million pet parents.

Pawcast is built by the team behind TeleTails — the pet care platform trusted by more than 1.5 million pet parents and the veterinarians who care for them. For seven years we've worked on one question: how can we help pets live the healthiest, happiest life possible? Pawcast is that mission, pointed at the weather.

The team

Our whole path leads here.

Pawcast is built by the team behind TeleTails, led by the three people who started it. Between us: the clinical standard, the engineering, and years of turning live data into something a pet parent can act on. The same instincts that built a platform trusted by 1.5 million pet parents now go into one forecast for your dog.

CEO

Started TeleTails after one too many "is this normal?" moments with his own dog. He's spent his career turning real-time data into decisions people can act on in the moment. Now he points that at your dog's day.

Three people. One pack.

The gap we kept seeing

Almost every weather app on Earth is built for a five-foot-ten human. Not Pawcast.

Your phone says it's 82° and sunny. Pleasant. Bring water. But your dog is four inches off the ground, wearing a fur coat, standing on asphalt that just hit 138°F. The same morning that reads as comfortable for you can be well past their limit — and nothing on your phone tells you the difference.

Running a pet care platform, we watched this pattern up close. The worries pet parents brought to our vets weren't exotic. They were everyday: hot pavement, heat stress, wet fur in the cold, a senior dog or a flat-faced breed pushed past a threshold no one could see. The information to prevent most of it already existed. It just was never built for the dog.

You check the weather.
Your dog can't. So Pawcast checks it for them.

What we've built

This isn't our first day caring for pets at scale.

TeleTails is a white-label pet care platform that brings 24/7 veterinary care, certified dog training, and AI-guided support to the pet brands, insurers, and nutrition companies pet parents already trust. It's 100% in-house — no marketplace, no contractors — which is how we've held a 9.8/10 satisfaction rating across seven years.

In-house care team
A real veterinary network
Messaging and video consults with in-house, US-based veterinarians. That same clinical grounding now shapes how Dog Feel° is calibrated and reviewed.
Certified dog training
Live one-on-one sessions with certified in-house trainers. We know how dogs actually behave, not just how they read on paper.
Telly AI
An assistant built on millions of proprietary consults that answers instantly and hands off to a live vet pro the moment a case calls for one. AI optional. Humans always.
Why we were equipped to build this

Three things a weather company can't fake.

Anyone can copy an interface. What they can't copy is where we started.

Veterinary credibility, already earned
We didn't go find vets to bless a launch. Our own Chief Veterinary Officer sets the clinical standard, so Dog Feel° is shaped by real expertise and reviewed as we refine it.
Real-time data in our DNA
From Dataminr to Telly, turning live signals into a timely, act-on-it answer isn't new for this team. It's the problem we've solved before, now pointed at your dog's next walk.
1.5 million pet parents' worth of context
We know what worries dog owners, what they ignore, and what actually gets them to act. That's why Pawcast is one number and one plain-spoken line, not a wall of data.
