It was only a matter of time before the veterinary industry got the high-tech treatment. Modern Animal is bringing the app approach and a new membership-based model to pet medicine with its first location in Los Angeles, which debuted in April near The Grove.
Located on Beverly Boulevard, the veterinary clinic features an annual membership for $100 that includes unlimited exams for cats and dogs. Human parents can schedule appointments via Modern Animal's app, which also allows users to access 24/7 virtual care for their furry family members (via call, chat, or video) as well as view their pets' health records, pay invoices, and order prescriptions. The space also offers contact-free visits with coronavirus safety measures, and walk-ins will be accepted when L.A. City lifts COVID-19 restrictions.
In addition to vaccines and medical checkups, the space offers routine and advanced procedures that don't require overnight care, such as spaying and neutering, dental services, biopsies, mass removals, and more. For felines and canines that need more serious care, the clinic will refer pet parents to a specialist or emergency room.
Modern Animal tapped L.A.-based firm Design, Bitches to dream up its stylish flagship, which features a bright and airy layout thanks to colorful decor, plenty of skylights, and exposed wood ceilings. Transparency was top of mind for the chic clinic, which features stylish reception spaces that have clear view of the treatment areas, wellness room, pharmacy, and lab.
The pet-focused startup recently raised $13.5 million in funding, per TechCrunch. It's helmed by founder Steven Eidelman (who was behind the GPS dog tracker Whistle) and Dr. Christie Long, DVM (she was previously Petco's former director of veterinary medicine).
