GuardianVets

GuardianVets is a business-to-business tech platform for veterinarians. But it’s the anxious pet owners who benefit when they seek after-hours emergency veterinary advice. GuardianVets enables pet owners to talk, chat or video conference with their veterinary doctors and nurses when their only option is a pet emergency room. Back-stopping its client veterinarians, the Evanston-based company remotely can pull up a pet’s medical record, and help the pet owner decide how serious the emergency is, and if appropriate, book a next-day appointment. That kind of continuity of care benefits the vet, the pet owner and the pet.
