The Pet Health Helpline, a platform that connects pet owners with experts and animal hospitals has officially processed over 10,000 pet owner questions.

“This milestone proves that there is consumer demand for a reinvented way to access veterinary information, services and care,” said Andrew P. Laine, Clicks Media CEO. “Our platform connects pet parents with experts, but it also allows them to search for local animal hospitals within our trusted network to further the pet’s care. We are the first on demand platform in the pet industry that touches every step of the pet care cycle.”

The direct to pet owner platform features a nationwide network of pet experts serving as a resource on topics such as basic pet care, health, training, and nutrition. The helpline also guides pet owners through symptoms, problems and other concerns then refers them to a local animal hospital for follow up diagnosis, treatment and care.

“Pet owners deserve the best for their pet’s care,” said Dr. Christopher Meehl, Clicks Media president and co-founder. “On demand access to useful information and referral sources are vital. Pet parents use technology to make decisions for their families. They are used to having access to information and services at their fingertips and it is our goal to meet that desire while encouraging quality of care for their pets. Every animal deserves the benefit of prudent loving care.”
