Inspiration

According to the American Pet Products Association pet parents are estimated to spend over $150.6 billion overall pet care in 2024 Between 10% and 78.5% of dogs become stressed or fearful in the vet clinic Many pet owners struggle to determine whether their pets need medical attention, which leads to unnecessary vet visits which could cause potential stress to the pet as well as financial strain on the owner. Veterinary costs are rising making professional inaccessible for many. Additionally, stray animals often suffer from untreated health issues due to a lack of immediate resources
