Camlist is a video marketplace for pets. The idea behind it is to make a safe market where you can buy pets. Before transaction, you can have a video call with the seller to talk with him about the pet. The company ensures us that pets are in a healthy environment, as well as are vaccinated and dewormed.
CEO of Camlist said that they support buyers and sellers by providing free vaccinations, microchipping, deworming, insurance, and pet food to grant the best experience for users.
The app implemented a system to counter scammers. Camlist has an option “in-app payment” which releases funds once the buyer confirms receipt of the pets.
The company started in Dubai and became very popular. After raising $1.3 million their plan is to expand their reach in the UK where they entered earlier this year. In the future, they plan to expand on the number of items you can buy and to reach more countries.
In my opinion, this app is great as there wasn’t anything like that before. When it comes to buying pets you have to make sure that you pick an animal that you will be capable of looking after. Getting to know them better by talking to their owners can really help that process.

WOW! A video marketplace for pets is indeed a really impressive up-to-date e-commerce. It can give you the possibility to look for a new “family” member distantly – saves time and it is especially helpful now when we are in different lockdowns, etc because of the pandemic.That’s the future, for sure. But is this a good alternative to actually going to a shelter? It may be old style but spending some time in person with those animals before buying them is really needed.
