AskVet Launches New App as Personalized ‘Owner’s Manual’ for Pet
AskVet has launched a new version of its mobile app this week with the aim to be the personalized “owner’s manual” that didn’t come with your pet.
With a hybrid approach that is informed by artificial intelligence (AI) but interpreted by human intelligence (HI), AskVet provides customized, expert guidance in the areas of nutrition, behavior, teeth, weight, anxiety, new pets, senior pets, socializing, chronic illness and more. AskVet’s app becomes a real-time, personalized owner’s manual throughout a pet’s life.
From its own consult data, AskVet knows that 70 percent of care done today in a vet’s office can be performed at home when paired with insight and advice from an AskVet veterinarian. With a $29.99 monthly membership, AskVet expects to significantly decrease a pet parent’s cost of in-office veterinary visits. AskVet will help members manage their pet’s regular wellness from anywhere, at any time, leading to better health outcomes and more time for pets and their parents to enjoy their lives together.
“AskVet is flipping traditional pet care delivery on its head,” said Cal Lai, founder and CEO of AskVet. “Today, pet care delivery is based on injury and illness. Modern pet parents demand more than that. They want a system that delivers real healthcare, not just sick care. They want their pets to live healthier, happier and longer lives. AskVet’s new app, driven by high touch expert engagement, total transparency and at-home tools, gives pet parents exactly what they want.”
AskVet draws on its experience as the world’s leader in virtual pet care with more than 600,000 virtual vet consults since 2015. Already working with some of the largest companies in the pet industry, AskVet’s advice is informed by data and analytics from the 3.5 million pets it serves today, which helps its Care Squad guide informed decisions related to each animal’s care. This unique use of AI and HI makes AskVet’s service a powerful, personal resource to help pet parents make smart decisions about their pet’s wellness.
