Top Veterinary Startups in 2026

We are on a mission to provide all pets with the quality health care they need from veterinarians and their caretakers. We aim to do this by modernizing the veterinary tech stack throughout a pet patient’s lifecycle from patient identification to preventive care, medical care, and monitoring & lifestyle. Existing vet tools are frustratingly hard to use, lack key features, and look like they are from the 90s. Our vision for a next-generation cloud platform includes a comprehensive medical record management system with delightful client communication tools. Predictive analytics will unlock clinical efficiencies, equip veterinarians with relevant medical data, and inform pet owners of proactive, tailored insights into their pets’ health.

Dutch was created to make the lives of pets more comfortable and the lives of pet parents more convenient. While pet anxiety and pet allergies are both common and treatable conditions, many of these ailments go untreated. Through telehealth, we’re looking to change that. By bringing pet parents and veterinary professionals together virtually, we’re able to spend more time getting to know your pet. This allows Dutch-affiliated veterinarians to prescribe customized treatments catered to your pet’s unique condition and genetic makeup. Our goal is to get to the root of your pet’s symptoms to create lasting change. Our treatments and medications are scientifically-backed and widely supported in the veterinary community. Plus, we happily ship all treatments directly to your door! We currently offer our services in the following states: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, South Dakota, Virginia, Idaho and Indiana. Our business is growing and we're looking to add more states in the near future. Stay tuned! To learn more about Dutch or to start your virtual consultation, visit dutch.com.
