"We've been looking forward to the release of the new AI-powered Messaging Assistant and are excited about the impact it will have on our day-to-day operations," said Ryan Meeks, Owner of Paw of the Family. "The feature will provide a reliable way for customers to reach us, reducing our phone volume and increasing the number of people who will be able to respond, especially with regards to grooming appointments, as well as garner customer feedback through reviews. Over 86% of our customers access our website and shop via mobile, so being able to communicate with them in their preferred medium will be highly beneficial."

"Independent pet retailers have to do everything for their business — inventory management, services, animal care, customer questions — often all at once," said Taylor Harnois, General Manager of eTailPet. "The introduction of our Messaging Assistant helps these specialty retailers communicate with their customers quickly and more efficiently. By embedding AI into everyday communication, we're helping them respond faster, work smarter, and stay focused on what they do best: caring for pets and their people. We're excited to get this into the hands of our customers ahead of Neighborhood Pet Store Day in September so they can interact with their customers in the most efficient way possible moving forward."
