Problem
Pet owners often face inconvenient, costly, and time‑consuming veterinary visits for routine care, medication refills, and minor health issues, leading to delayed treatment and missed doses of preventive drugs.
Solution
Otis offers a fully online veterinary service for cats and dogs that eliminates the need for in‑person appointments. Users complete a short consult form describing their pet’s symptoms, after which a licensed veterinarian reviews the information and provides a same‑day virtual visit via video call. The vet prescribes appropriate prescription‑grade medications—such as flea, tick, heartworm preventatives and allergy treatments—and ships them directly to the customer with free shipping and automatic monthly refills. Otis also provides a free text hotline for ongoing questions and sends reminder notifications to keep pets on schedule, ensuring continuous care without additional fees.
