Scaling Virtual Veterinary Care: How a Digital Platform Evolved to Meet Rising DemandVeterinary Care
Our client is the global leader in virtual veterinary care, enabling over 500,000 digital consultations between pet owners and licensed veterinarians.
With a growing user base and increasing demand for accessible pet healthcare, the client sought to elevate their platform into a more scalable, engaging, and monetizable solution.
challenge
- Struggling to Meet Growing Demand for Immediate Care: As pet ownership surged, the client’s platform faced challenges in offering consistent, real-time access to veterinary professionals, especially during off-hours.
- Overuse of Emergency Services for Non-Critical Case: The client observed a high volume of emergency room visits that could have been prevented with faster, remote consultations — impacting both user experience and system efficiency.
- Disjointed User Experience Across Devices:With users accessing the service from various devices, the lack of a unified and seamless experience was leading to lower engagement and satisfaction.
- Lack of Centralized Pet Health Records: Users couldn’t easily access or manage their pets’ consultation history, making continuity of care and follow-ups more difficult.
- Unclear Path to Sustainable Revenue: The client’s existing revenue was largely transactional. They needed a model that could ensure predictable, recurring income while providing more value to their users.
solution
- Built a 24/7 Virtual Veterinary Care Platform: We developed a robust virtual care system with always-on live chat, ensuring pet owners could get timely help whenever they needed it.
- Implemented Smart Triage & Role-Based Access: A multi-layered support flow was designed — initial interactions handled by trained operators, escalating to licensed vets as needed. This reduced vet workload and improved response efficiency.
- Unified Multi-Device Experience: The platform was designed to be fully responsive and accessible across mobile, web, and tablet, delivering a consistent experience for every user.
- Centralized Health Records for Every Pet: Users could now store and manage pet profiles, health history, images, and videos — all in one place, accessible during any consult.
- Introduced Subscription-Based Wellness Plans: We collaborated with the client to launch tiered wellness plans and integrated secure payment options, enabling recurring revenue through preventive care services.
- Enabled Data & Reporting Tools for Insight: An advanced reporting dashboard was developed, empowering the client to track engagement, repeat users, chat volume, and more — all filterable and exportable.
Outcomes
- 30% Faster Access to Veterinary Support:Real-time triage and 24/7 availability led to a significant reduction in wait times and improved customer satisfaction.
- 20–40% Reduction in Non-Emergency ER Visits: By resolving minor issues virtually, the platform helped users avoid unnecessary trips to emergency services.
- 50% Increase in User Retention: Personalized engagement, centralized health records, and continuous access encouraged repeat usage.
- Established Sustainable Revenue Streams: Subscription wellness plans and partner integrations introduced long-term, recurring income sources.
- Enhanced Operational Visibility: With detailed reporting and analytics in place, the client gained valuable insights to refine services and grow the platform strategically.
