Company mission

To provide a better veterinary experience for pets, their families, and our veterinary care providers.

Our take

Boston-based BetterVet offers mobile veterinary care throughout numerous cities across the United States. The company empowers a doctor-nurse team to practice medicine through visits to pets at their homes.

The company stands out for its ‘mobile’ component, in order to provide a better veterinary experience for pets, and is made possible by its proprietary web and app platform that allows for real-time scheduling with route optimization.

The company currently operates in 25 markets from Boston and New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco but has sewn the seeds to dominate even further in the Southern Californian region acquiring the well-known vet clinic, Vets Here. The company, following series A funding, will continue to add new markets and launch new services.
