ZumVet just announced the launch of its remote care solution platform offering a full suite of home-based health and wellness services for pets in Hong Kong, making this the first pet-centric app of its kind in the country. Combining customer first experience set to the highest standard levels of safety in healthcare, this expansion offers pet owners with an immediate touch point to veterinary professional through video consults, e-pharmacy and home-based testing. The platform also provides pet owners with access to digital medical records, and home delivery services for medication.

“While pet ownership is on the rise, yet the number of resources available to pet parents are still limited and it remains difficult for pet owners to sift through all the conflicting information that can be found online,” said co-founder Athena Lee.

“It can be especially stressful when unexpected behaviours or conditions suddenly arise and there’s nowhere to turn to at a moment’s notice. This is why we founded ZumVet – as pet owners ourselves, we wanted to create a care solution that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.”

Founded by animal lovers Athena Lee and Dr Grace Su, the Singapore-based startup has grown quickly over the last six months with its consumer centric approach and market leadership position in Singapore. Ms Lee was formerly the CEO of Doctor Anywhere, a Singapore telehealth startup which has raised more than US$25 million in funding. Dr Su worked at both government and private healthcare institutions, before consulting on Doctor Anywhere.

With their combined expertise in digital health, finance and medicine, they have identified technology as a solution to improving access to healthcare. Their mission is to modernise the way veterinary medicine is delivered, to improve pets’ quality of life. ZumVet plans to accelerate the development of remote care solutions for pets and fuel its growth across the region.
