Multiple personalities decided to take part in the investment alongside Patrick. Some of them are Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley.

Later, during an interview, Patrick stated, “I have two dogs, Ella and Dallas, so anything to do with pets intrigues me. It kind of passes you by, how fast they grow up, and any dog parent knows that quality care is the foundation for giving your pup a happy and healthy life.”

“Dr. Audrey Wystrach and the Petfolk team really cater to them with a level of compassion and expertise that’s pretty difficult to find. It’s also made my life a lot easier.”

“On the consumer side, their pricing structure is transparent, which makes it easy for them to cut through the clutter as compared to standard veterinary offices. I keep factors like this in mind with most of the companies I work with.”
