A Veterinary Research Service

There’s a gap between what pet owners think and what veterinarians think they think. Diggo surveys pet owners to reveal what they have to say and brings the true voice of the pet owner directly to you.

Our digital research briefs provide unique insights into pet owner thinking and behavior. Every edition features timely, exclusive results and goes far beyond the data to provide direction on how you can better serve changing client needs.

I pride our practice in understanding our clients’ needs. After reading the Diggo summer report, my eyes were opened to customer issues and information we were missing. I love the report, especially the action items. Information is great, but what to do with it is key!
