Veterinary telehealth platform Vetster announced a partnership with Kindred Pet Services, a network of pet care resorts, to provide virtual veterinary services for pets boarding at Kindred locations.
Kindred’s pet care providers can access licensed veterinarians through Vetster’s virtual care platform when they have concerns about a pet in their care. Vetster veterinarians can provide medical advice, treatment plans, and prescriptions where permitted, so pets can receive prompt care. Vetster will also provide free services for pets of Kindred employees.
Kindred Pet Resorts operates 17 locations across seven states under five names: Red Dog Pet Resort, The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel, My Lucky Dog, Alpha Pet Resort, and The Yuppy Puppy Pet Spa. The facilities offer boarding, daycare, grooming, and training services.
“Pet care doesn’t stop when a pet leaves home,” said Mark Bordo, Vetster’s CEO. “Together with Kindred, we’re setting a new bar for pet hospitality by making veterinary expertise an essential part of boarding and daycare.”
