Our take
Modern Animal provides veterinary services for animals via a human-focused model. An annual membership fee covers all examination costs and 24/7 virtual consultations. The company specifically designed its clinics to appeal to owners by removing the clinical feel found at many traditional vets.
The service has so far appealed to younger pet owners who have been fast to adapt to virtual and digital services. It's also popular with veterinary teams, as Modern Animal also focuses on providing enjoyable working environments to attract and retain talent in an industry which has long experienced a skills shortage.
Modern Animal isn't alone in this space: competitors include Fuzzy and Airvet, both offering telemedicine for pets. Its continued success will depend on its ability to scale its operations and stay ahead of its rivals. Its opening of additional California clinics in 2022 and expansion across the US show that the company is well poised to take on this challenge.
