Pet owners face long wait times for vet appointments, expensive emergency visits for non-urgent issues, and anxiety about whether symptoms require immediate attention. Meanwhile, veterinary clinics are overwhelmed with a nationwide vet shortage.
An AI symptom checker that photographs and analyzes pet symptoms, triages urgency level, connects to licensed vets for video consultations, prescribes medications via partner pharmacies, and integrates with local clinics for follow-up appointments.
The veterinary telehealth market is growing at 20.3% CAGR, driven by a veterinarian shortage and rising pet ownership among millennials. An AI-powered triage system can route pet owners to the right level of care, reducing unnecessary ER trips.
