About Airvet:

The pet industry is already a $100+ billion domestic industry, and Airvet has quickly become one of the largest pet telehealth and connected care platforms in the country. In our first 18 months, we've become the #1 rated and reviewed pet telehealth platform in the App Store and Google Play. To date, we’ve helped over 100,000 pets connect with thousands of world-class veterinarians and specialists across the country. In July 2020, we closed a $17 million Series A from Tier 1 venture and strategic investors, and are rapidly expanding our products and operations into new markets.
