Mexican vet startup secures $10 million investment

The Mexico-based company offers pet healthcare through modern clinics. After the $10 million (€9M) capital injection, they plan to launch an online platform that functions as a one-stop service for pet parents.

Co-founder and CEO María Gutiérrez says their research into the industry and conversations with pet parents and veterinarians has driven their focus. 

“We want not only people and pets to benefit from great service, but also veterinarians to have a better quality of life and work,” she highlights.

Vetalia opened its first store in Mexico City in July 2023 and plans to open more in other Latin American locations.

“Our expansion plans contemplate opening 50 clinics in the region over the next 5 years, starting with the main cities in Mexico, and expanding to countries such as Chile and Colombia in the medium term,” outlines Marion Benítez Landa, Vetalia’s Head of Expansion.

The start-up’s investors include the Co-Founder of BondVet, Lukas Keindl, Andrea Viejo, the previous Country Manager of pet company Laika Mexico, and others.
