Experts in Animal Rehab Create VitalVet.org for Pet Rehab, Physiotherapy and Fitness Needs

VitalVet.org, founded by Ilaria Borghese, MS, MA, OT and Maria Denzer, aims to bridge the gap in specialty pet care markets, making it easy to find recommended treatments, devices, supplements and more against the backdrop of the pandemic and supporting those pets with mobility issues in particular.

Both Borghese and Denzer have worked for years in the animal rehabilitation space, between their companies Thera-Paw and STAAR (Symposium on Therapeutic Advances in Animal Rehabilitation). Vital Vet is designed to be the central, go-to resource for all pet physio, rehab and fitness needs.

But Vital Vet founders also realized that for many pet parents, rehab options were limited based on geography and in-person availability. Borghese and Denzer knew that virtual visits could resolve this issue and recruited top-tier rehab experts to provide at-home teleconsulting services and educational opportunities.

Vital Vet’s rehab-focused teleconsultation services connect pet parents with veterinary experts, offering in-home virtual consults with a wide range of professionals focused on pain management, injury recovery, strengthening and conditioning and more. This service is already in high demand on Vital Vet and an app for virtual consults is set to launch in March.

“If you’re a pet parent, and you have a pet who is injured, in pain, or having mobility issues, or you’re looking for fitness and conditioning programs, if you’re looking for options for your pet, Vital Vet is the place to go,” said Borghese. “You will be able to find everything under one umbrella – products, services and information on any stage of your pet’s development or illness.”
