Boston, MA, Jan. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kicking off 2022 where 2021 left off, BetterVet, the leader in mobile and virtual veterinary care, announces a flurry of activity with partnership programs, expansions, and acquisitions. This early year activity cements the company's growth strategy and positions the organization for a national growth surge over this coming year.
In partnership news, BetterVet has engaged the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) to be their off-hours support in the Boston, Chicago, Denver, and South Florida markets. VEG will take ownership of all off-hours calls fielding concerns from pet parents and directing those clients to the next steps whether it’s an emergency room visit or a call back from a BetterVet doctor during hours of operation.
“VEG has revolutionized veterinary emergency medicine by taking customer service - for the pet, pet parent, and primary care veterinarians - to the next level and having a laser-sharp focus on ‘emergency care’,” said Dr. David Bessler, founder of VEG. “By partnering with primary care veterinarians, like BetterVet, VEG continues to help people and their pets when they need it most.”
In addition to off-hours support, BetterVet has enhanced its arsenal of diagnostic tools by partnering with Butterfly Network, Inc. This technology provides the one-of-a-kind single probe, whole-body, multi-species ultrasound system, Butterfly iQ+ Vet to all staff veterinarians.
From a statement published in DVM 360, Dr. Dani Cimino, BetterVet’s Chief Veterinary Officer stated; “BetterVet provides expert veterinary services pet parents would typically find in a brick-and-mortar practice — and that includes diagnostic tools like ultrasound. With Butterfly iQ+ Vet, we’re able to get crucial information from inside the pet’s body and use it to make decisions in real-time. Plus, we can do this at home with less stress and anxiety for the pet and family.”
As BetterVet rounds out service offerings with support and equipment enhancement, the Company is thrilled to announce mergers with two highly respected practices:
- All About Town Pet Housecalls led by Dr. Steven Teisch out of Lantana, Florida and
- Eugene Mobile Veterinary Practices, led by Dr. Bonnie Burns Oberlander and Dr. Bryan Rensemaout of Eugene, Oregon
These mergers allow the BetterVet team to provide immediate care to the growing population in South Florida, and to introduce our world-class technology and care to more pet parents in the Pacific Northwest. The addition of Eugene brings BetterVet to a total of 13 US markets…and counting.
“The Eugene Mobile Veterinary Services (EMVS) has been providing exceptional medical care to our patients for over a decade,” said Dr. Bonnie Burns Oberlander, EMVS founder. “By joining forces with BetterVet, we have given ourselves and our patient community access to more resources and tools, allowing us to serve even more patients with the most current technologies. We are thrilled to be a part of the BetterVet family.”
