Sharing Our Story

We’re on a mission to provide pet parents with affordable vet care that’s always there.

From sudden issues or chronic conditions to prevention, you can turn to our vets for care, prescriptions, and a peace of mind — whenever and wherever you need it.

We’re rooted in science

We work with the best vets and board-certified specialists, including behaviorists and dermatologists, to create treatment plans based on the latest evidence, not fads or feelings.

We don’t keep you waiting

As fellow pet parents, we know what it’s like to wait weeks to see a vet. That’s why our vets are available for same-day appointments and respond to messages within hours not days.

We deliver to you

Skip the trip to the pharmacy. We ship your pet’s prescriptions and other treatments right to you.

Built by experts in telemedicine and veterinary science

After struggling to find vet care for his dog, Eddie, during a health emergency, former Hims co-founder Joe Spector knew something had to change. He partnered with leading experts in veterinary health to make vet care more accessible through the power of telemedicine — just as Hims had done for human healthcare. 


Today, Dutch is the #1 virtual vet service in the US, with a nationwide team of top-rated veterinarians led by clinical director, Dr. Abel Gonzalez. We make it faster, easier, and more affordable for pet parents to get care and prescriptions for their pets. Because every pet deserves to live their happiest, healthiest life.

I’m excited to help more cats and dogs be less fearful and anxious than I could ever reach as a solo practitioner through collaboration, consultation and education. With fewer than 100 DACVBs in North America, and not every veterinary student graduating with a behavioral clinical rotation or course, there is a well published need for increased access to veterinary support for behavior problems. Dutch Pet is hoping to fill at least part of this care gap for our fur friends.

Today, many pets in the US do not have access to general or specialty veterinary care. Dutch provides animals with easy access to the veterinary care they need. I am excited to be a part of Dutch’s mission to help bridge the gap between pets and their veterinarian and to improve the health and wellbeing of so many animals in America.

My professional mission is "to positively impact the lives of people and their animals on a global scale", which is something that I simply can't do alone. I'm thrilled to be a part of a team that is bringing the knowledge of veterinary specialists and general practitioners together and making that care available to pet owners in need.
