Mike Ortega is the founder of the Petzey pet wellness app, which allows you to connect with a vet professional in minutes. The first and only network of its kind delivers on-demand expertise, all conveniently from your smartphone for only $20 a consultation, per pet. No hidden fees, subscriptions or memberships. Petzy ensures that every vet professional is licensed in at least one state and has a degree from an accredited veterinary or veterinary technology school. Petzey all started with a Golden Retriever named Zuzu. One day, Zuzu ate something she wasn’t supposed to (as dogs do) and got sick and her family was unable to get immediate help when they needed it most. Their vet clinic was closed, the closest emergency vet was hours away, and the internet provided a black hole of scary and uninformed diagnoses that only made matters worse. Luckily, Zuzu made it through the night and was treated by her vet the following morning. But, her family decided, it would have been a lot less stressful to have gotten the answers when they needed them most. And so, Petzey was born. Read more at: https://petzey.com/
