Dutch’s 2026 Pet Care Gap Report
Dutch surveyed more than 10,000 US pet owners and turned the findings into a call for wider access to veterinary telemedicine. The report estimated that 75 million owners had skipped or declined care because of cost or access barriers, giving the company a timely data-led hook for coverage and its argument for regulatory change.
Why it worked: It paired fresh, large-sample data quantifying a 75‑million gap with a clear villain (patchwork VCPR rules), creating a timely policy news hook.
The lesson: Consider commissioning a nationally representative survey that quantifies a widespread pain, then tie it to a fix blocked by inconsistent regulations.
