Problem
Pet, horse, and livestock owners often lack quick, reliable tools to identify individual animals, verify their health status, and obtain professional care advice without expensive equipment or specialist visits.

The platform offers a virtual veterinary assistant, Avva, which delivers evidence‑based health recommendations based on a comprehensive veterinary knowledge base.

All services are delivered through consumer‑friendly mobile interfaces, enabling owners to verify, monitor, and reconnect with their animals instantly.
