Best Bets for Pets - Episode 362 AskMambo: AI That Actually Understands Your Dog

Author: Pet Life Radio January 6, 2026 Duration: 30:24
On this episode of Best Bets for Pets, Michelle Fern welcomes AskMambo co-founders Anthony Cospito and Arlu Gomez to share the personal story behind a fast-growing AI platform designed specifically for dog parents. Anthony, a longtime tech executive, was inspired to create AskMambo after his own dog, Mambo, became ill and he discovered just how difficult it was to find trustworthy, dog-specific answers online. Generic searches—and even general AI tools—fell short, offering advice that didn’t reflect his dog’s unique situation. Together with Arlu Gomez, Anthony built AskMambo to help translate everyday dog behaviors, explain symptoms, decode confusing vet-speak, and strengthen the human-pup bond in a way that feels personal, supportive, and human—like chatting with a knowledgeable dog-loving friend. Michelle and her guests explore how AskMambo works, why it resonates with today’s pet parents, and how smarter, kinder technology can help people better understand and care for their best friends.
