Vetr, a cutting-edge telehealth platform transforming pet healthcare, today announced that the company has received a strategic investment of $21 million from Palehorse Capital. The funding will accelerate the development of Vetr's veterinary app, which enables pet owners to schedule appointments, consult with veterinarians remotely, and access over-the-counter (OTC) medications or prescriptions. Additionally, the investment will support the company's expansion into the development and distribution of generic pet medications—without the need for prescriptions.
A Vision to Revolutionize Pet Healthcare
Vetr, founded and funded by Andrew Hamilton, is poised to disrupt the pet healthcare market with its innovative platform. Hamilton’s Palehorse Capital investment will enable the company to enhance its app to better serve both veterinarians and pet owners by offering remote consultations and managing prescriptions. Veterinarians will be provided tools for easy tech integrations along with receiving commissions to provide the best care for pets. Vetr’s app will provide the infrastructure necessary for veterinarians to prescribe and manage the distribution of OTC animal medications, streamlining pet healthcare across the country.
Hamilton, a biotech expert with a rich portfolio of patents in sectors such as rare earth minerals and biotechnologies, is applying his extensive expertise to make significant strides in the pet healthcare space. His dedication to providing affordable solutions has already led to the development of a telemedicine platform that improves access to veterinary care, while also reducing costs associated with branded prescriptions.
A Game-Changer in Medication Access
Vetr’s platform focuses on making healthcare more affordable for pets, especially in areas where access to traditional veterinary care is limited. By developing generic, over-the-counter animal medications—ranging from treatments for common conditions such as coccidiosis to other everyday needs—Vetr is bridging a major gap in the market.
Unlike many existing platforms that focus on more traditional, expensive prescription drugs, Vetr’s OTC medications offer an accessible alternative without the need for a prescription, making pet care easier and more affordable for millions of pet owners. This investment will fund the next phase of Vetr’s growth and its ability to scale these solutions nationwide.
Supporting Growth and Remote Care
The funding will also support the growth of Vetr's app, which is designed to streamline the veterinary care process. The platform allows pet owners to make appointments, consult with veterinarians remotely, and manage prescriptions, all from the convenience of their homes. This innovative approach empowers veterinarians to provide high-quality care remotely, especially for routine checkups or non-emergency needs, improving efficiency and reducing the need for in-person visits.
By supporting Vetr’s expansion into the OTC pet medications market, Palehorse Capital is backing a platform that not only improves access to care but also offers practical solutions for everyday pet healthcare challenges. This includes making medications for common conditions more accessible and affordable, without sacrificing quality.
