Comparable as a broad incumbent that controls the upstream vet relationship that feeds PCS's referral channel.

Direct peers

• Lap of Love: Lap of Love is a national mobile pet hospice and in-home euthanasia network that frequently partners with or refers to cremation services for end-of-life aftercare. Highly comparable to PCS in addressing pet owners' end-of-life needs, with overlap in equine/large-animal services and a similar vet-partnership GTM.
