Whether you’re a board-certified veterinary cardiologist or a general practitioner with a cardio interest, Anipanion’s telehealth platform is here to provide you and your clients with virtual communication. Integrating telehealth into your practice will not only provide your pet parents with better access, lead to more successful patient medical outcomes, and improve client satisfaction, but will increase your revenue by monetizing your communication.
