Leeds based Vet-tech firm Vet-AI and insurtech Waggel have entered a collaboration which will offer policyholders unlimited access to Vet-AI’s revolutionary app, Joii Pet Care.
Waggel insurance customers can now benefit from Joii Pet Care’s 24/7 vet video consultations, which usually cost £24 per call, as well as vet nurse consultations and an innovative symptom checker.
The commercial agreement forms part of Vet-AI’s partnership strategy, providing affordable and convenient veterinary care so that owners can access regular, preventative advice which supports dogs and cats to live happier, healthier lives. Vet-AI also partners with Animal Friends Insurance, ASDA Money and Purely Pets.
Matt Elcock, Chief Operating Officer of Vet-AI, said: “The insurance market is fast evolving and we felt there was great synergy between Joii Pet Care and Waggel as disruptors in our respective sectors. Both are at the cutting edge of technology and innovation, underpinned by a drive to help pet owners conveniently access services online. It’s fantastic to be able to reach even more people through our partnership with Waggel, offering thousands more pet owners the chance to access high quality vet care at their fingertips.”
Andrew Leal, CEO of Waggel, added: “We are very excited about the new partnership with Joii Pet Care. As an insurtech enterprise, we like to partner with providers that share the same level of technology ambition and sophistication. We look forward to offering Waggel members the numerous services that Joii Pet Care currently provides. We are even more excited about future projects that we are expecting to collaborate on with Joii.”
Joii Pet Care launched in spring 2019 to tackle the rising costs of vet care for pets by offering pet owners remote consultations with real vets and nurses, via their smartphones. It is an artificial intelligence app built by a team of experts with cutting edge, bespoke technology, Joii Pet Care allows pet parents to diagnose and receive recommended advice for pets from the comfort of their home.
