The Vets is a startup business based in Wilmington, Delaware. The company provides pet care services to focus on pet well-being and comfort. The Vets services use technology and offer wellness exams, home lab tests, vaccinations, microchipping, dental care, and surgeries and provide pets and pet owners with medicines, enabling customers and pets both to have a positive experience.
The Vets was funded $40 million, led by Target Global, PICO Venture Partners, Bolt Ventures, and other strategic angel investors. With this new investment, the company will prioritize extending its veterinarian recruitment across the country. The Vets currently serves in Miami, Tampa, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, and Denver and announcing New York City’s launch today.
The startup also strives to manage the growing problem of burnout among veterinarians. To do so, The Vets promotes a four-day workweek and a daily appointment limit for veterinarians to ensure that they aren’t overworked.
Bringing pet healthcare into the house not only allows the veterinarian to create stronger connections with pets and the owners, but the pet is also comfy in a stress-free surrounding. The top causes that pet owners avoid or delay their visiting to the vet clinic are the stress of carting their pet, restrictive pet carriers, and crowded waiting rooms. In addition, the added pressure on a pet can generate incorrect vitals during the health assessment, which sets them at risk for the veterinarians overlooking or misdiagnosing possible illnesses. Pet parents can leverage online booking for approvingly personalized, at-home veterinary visits on their own time, which stops the added stress and anxiety of bringing a pet in for an in-person appointment.
The Vets give an added layer of at-home comfort, and they aren’t lacking in the technical domain – visits feature full diagnostics, including blood workup and capturing vitals. In addition, aggregating data from these comprehensive care visits across the nation allows for more accurate diagnoses and healthcare predictions and analysis of possible trends by breed.
Shmuel Chafets, Chairman at The Vets, said they energized by their willingness to challenge the pet care industry and build a consumer brand. That would bring actual value to veterinarians and owners by addressing the problem head-on.
