Vet-AI reaches new strategic investment backed by Hill’s
The British veterinary technology company has received funding worth £12.6 million ($15.7M / €14.8M) since its launch in 2017.
Vet-AI announced a combined investment from long-term strategic partners Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Correlation One Holdings, that would push the tech company to increase its worldwide operations.
Co-founder of Vet-AI Paul Hallett confirmed that these collaborations would help them “undertake innovative work to provide a much-needed bridge between digital and face-to-face veterinary care”.
Vet-AI’s Joii Pet Care app uses AI technology to provide online veterinary care to pet parents, helping professionals to reduce their workload and clear more time for live procedures that require their expertise. The functionalities include a free symptom checker, video calls with veterinarians, online follow-ups, and check-ups.
“One of our top priorities is fostering and continually investing in the health, longevity, and satisfaction of our veterinary network”, commented Hill’s Pet Nutrition. “We see our work with Vet-AI as another step towards supporting veterinarians across the world.”
Leeds-based Vet-AI was created in 2017 by entrepreneur Paul Hallett and veterinary surgeons Dr. Robert Dawson and Dr. Sarah Warren and it has provided over 150,000 consultations online worldwide so far.
