About The Company
At Modern Animal, we are on a mission to better the lives of animals by building a place that’s better for all of us who love them. During our collective decades in the veterinary industry, we observed numerous pain points for both pet owners and veterinary professionals, ultimately concluding that through intentional design and innovations in technology, we could deliver a better experience.
Today, we have 28 clinics across Greater Los Angeles, Orange County, the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston and Austin, which have garnered rave reviews.
We have also raised capital from leading venture capital funds (including Founders Fund, True Ventures, and Upfront Ventures), which will allow us to continue to bring modern veterinary care to more practitioners and pet owners.
We are a new kind of veterinary company; we believe a better one. We are just getting started, and we cannot wait to meet you.
