The veterinary telehealth market is anticipated to witness growth, propelled by the increasing prevalence of zoonotic diseases in animals. Zoonotic diseases, caused by pathogenic germs such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi, pose a threat to both human and animal populations. Veterinary telemedicine services play a crucial role in mitigating zoonotic infections by facilitating disease detection and management. Virtual consultations between veterinarians and pet owners enable the early diagnosis of diseases, limiting the spread of zoonotic infections. A notable example is the World Health Organization's report in July 2022, indicating a 64% increase in zoonotic cases in Africa. The rise in zoonotic illnesses globally, including in India, emphasizes the need for preventive measures. Emerging infectious diseases in humans are significantly attributed to zoonotic pathogens, underscoring the importance of addressing animal health. Thus, the growing prevalence of zoonotic diseases in animals is expected to drive the veterinary telehealth market.

Government initiatives have played a positive role in shaping the veterinary telehealth market during the historic period. Increased government initiatives aimed at supporting animal health and welfare have stimulated the demand for veterinary telehealth services.

This Pathway represents a partnership involving the government, farmers, veterinarians, the wider industry, and the supply chain, working collaboratively to achieve gradual and continuous improvements in farm animal health and welfare. The government's commitment to supporting such initiatives has significantly contributed to the growth of the veterinary telehealth market.

Key players in the veterinary telehealth market are strategically leveraging advanced technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance their market position. AI algorithms are employed to analyze various data sources, including a pet's medical history, genetic information, lifestyle factors, and environmental data, enabling the development of personalized treatment plans.

This tool offers unlimited 24/7 veterinary telehealth services, an AI-driven symptom checker, and a virtual food and treat finder that delivers customized recommendations for pets. The Symptom Checker feature, utilizing AI, serves as an on-demand virtual veterinarian, enabling pet owners to input symptoms and receive tailored recommendations.

In December 2022, Vetster announced the launch of the Vetster for Veterinarians mobile app for both Android and iOS platforms. This app complements Vetster's well-established web app, providing veterinary professionals with an additional tool to engage with pet owners in their virtual practice.
