The Beginning of Pawjai
The story of ordinary pet owners who wanted to do better for their furry friends.
We're just ordinary pet owners. We love our pets more than anything but didn't know much about caring for them properly. Raising a pet isn't so different from raising a child. It takes effort, learning, and even small mistakes can have a bigger impact than you'd think on their habits, health, and quality of life.
" What we kept noticing is that most pet owners care deeply about their pets, but they lack the right information at the moment they need it most. "
This is "Pepe," an American Shorthair cat who was always healthy and never sick. It's just like living with family. You see them so often that you barely notice how they change, until someone else points it out.
It's the same with our pets. Small changes build up quietly, and by the time something becomes obvious, the problem has usually been growing for a while.
" And our pets can't tell us how they feel. "
From over 80 research papers covering data from more than 10 million pets worldwide, we found something remarkable.
~2.5 yrs
Overweight pets live shorter by an average of
6.5x
Inactive pets have higher dementia risk
Over 40%
Pets over 7 years old have undetected conditions
" Good, consistent health care can extend a pet's lifespan by 3 to 6 years. "
What's concerning is that nearly half of all dogs and cats over 7 have health conditions that haven't been detected, despite appearing fine.
We didn't build Pawjai to replace veterinarians.
We built it so that ordinary pet owners like us and you can have enough information to take better care of our pets. To know when to worry, when it's okay to wait, and when to rush to the vet immediately.
" Pets that receive good care don't just get healthier. They stay with us longer. "
