Vetster is a Canadian veterinary telemedicine company.[1][2][3] It is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.[2][4]
History[edit]
Vetster was formed in 2020 by Mark Bordo and Regan Johnson.[1][3][5][6] The company hired Sarah Machell as its lead veterinarian and medical director.[3][7] Bordo assumed the role of CEO and Johnson was appointed CTO.[1][8]
Vetster announced its online pet pharmacy service, VetsterRX to the US market on August 24, 2021.[9][10] As of October 2021, Vetster had 35 employees.[8][11]
Together with OnePoll, Vetster published a survey on pet guilt.[12][13][14]
Jodi Kovitz also became the company's Chief Growth Officer in July 2021.[15][16] Cerys Goodall was named Chief Operating Officer in January 2022, when Rahul Nirula joined as its Chief Product Officer.[17]
The Vetster platform allows users to schedule online consultations with veterinarians and veterinary technicians.[18][19] Users can schedule consultations at any time of the day and any day of the week.[2][20] The platform lets users choose which professionals to consult with, rather than assigning them to a veterinarian or technician.[7][21][6] Users can receive a prescription through VetsterRx or their local human pharmacy where legally available.[6]
Vetster offers video, text, and voice chat appointments.[2][9] The Vetster platform can be accessed through the Vetster website or the Vetster mobile app.[9][20]
