Dr. Treat is a tech-enabled veterinary care company often described as "One Medical for pets," providing highly personalized and preventative healthcare for pets through a combination of virtual and in-clinic services. Their core product blends telehealth consultations with physical veterinary clinics, supported by data-driven health tracking and personalized care plans tailored to each pet’s genetic makeup, health markers, and lifestyle. Dr. Treat primarily serves pet owners in the United States, especially busy and tech-savvy individuals seeking convenient, continuous, and proactive pet healthcare. Their membership-based model offers unlimited access to clinics and virtual care, aiming to shift veterinary care from reactive treatment to proactive wellness management[1][2][3].
Founded by a team of entrepreneurs and veterinarians passionate about transforming veterinary care, Dr. Treat emerged from the recognition that traditional vet practices often focus on reactive care rather than prevention. The founders envisioned a future where veterinary care is accessible, data-driven, and highly personalized based on genetic and breed predispositions. The company started in the San Francisco Bay Area and has since expanded its footprint with multiple clinics and a growing virtual care platform. Early traction included building proprietary patient management software and establishing clinics designed to reduce pet anxiety, earning recognition for innovative hospital design[3][4][6].
