Mella Pet Care, Vetster Connect Real-Time Diagnostics to Pet Telehealth

Mella Pet Care, a leading provider of innovative pet health solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with Vetster, a veterinary telemedicine platform, to offer an integrated solution for pet owners. This collaboration will provide Mella app users in the US, Canada, and the UK with seamless and convenient access to 24/7 veterinary care via Vetster's top-rated veterinary marketplace, ensuring that pet parents have professional support at their fingertips, whenever they need it.

Pet health is not confined to regular office hours, and emergencies can happen at any time. Mella understands the needs of pet owners and is committed to providing holistic solutions to keep pets healthy and happy. With the Vetster integration, Mella users can easily schedule online veterinary appointments with licensed, experienced professionals through Vetster’s secure web and mobile apps, anytime and anywhere.

"We are thrilled to embark on this groundbreaking collaboration with Vetster,” said Ben Seidman, Co-Founder at Mella. “At Mella, our mission has always been to redefine pet care through innovation, and this partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment. By integrating Vetster's telemedicine platform with Mella's advanced technology, we're not just offering convenience to pet owners—we're revolutionizing the way we care for our furry family members. This collaboration underscores our dedication to providing comprehensive, accessible, and proactive health solutions for pets."

Vetster connects pet owners with licensed veterinarians in minutes, offering quality advice and care through secure video calls, chat, and messaging. Whether you're seeing a minor health issue with your pet facing a behavioral change, or you simply need guidance, Vetster ensures access to expert veterinary care without delays or added expenses.

“Innovating with the Mella team is transforming how pet owners care for their animals,” commented Vetster COO Cerys Goodall. “By connecting Mella's home diagnostic technology with the Vetster platform, veterinarians have more information to work with when assessing a pet virtually. Our partnership is one more way we can improve access to care for pet owners and their pets.”

Mella’s partnership with Vetster is a game-changer for pet parents. Instead of rushing to a physical clinic in the middle of the night, Vetster enables pet owners to connect with qualified veterinarians from the comfort of their own homes—providing reassurance and advice whenever needed. Many pets also experience anxiety or stress when visiting a physical clinic. Vetster's telemedicine services help pets get the care they need without leaving a familiar environment, reducing fear and ensuring more comfortable treatment.

To welcome our community of pet parents, Vetster is offering Mella users an exclusive 25% discount on Vetster’s vet services. Now, in addition to the advanced pet care products offered within the Mella ecosystem, pet owners can access professional veterinary care at a reduced rate.

How to Book an Online Vet Appointment with Vetster:
