Wisdom from a “Master Trapper – Part 2

“My goal is that anyone, anytime, anywhere, irregardless of economics or world areas, would be able to utilize Activ4Pets for their pet’s well-being and health.”
With over twenty-five years of experience in the human healthcare industry, Kimberley Heeney brings a wealth of expertise to the Activ4Pets team. She has always been passionate about helping animals, who don’t have a voice, and she has always had a pet, even in her previous role in human healthcare. Activ4Pets brings the benefits of human telemedicine to pets, with a unique and acute understanding of affordable, accessible and flexible pet health care for shelters and pet adoption.
When working in the human healthcare industry, Kimberley noticed that people don’t always ask the right questions of their doctors. They don’t seem to have a true knowledge of what they need when it comes to new medicines or tests. That’s where the original “active doctor” came into play. People now have 24/7 access to all of their health history at all hospitals worldwide. Kimberley quickly saw the benefit of moving this to the pet world, as well. Enter Activ4Pets.
Pet owners always want the best care for their “pet kids,” and Activ4Pets works with humane societies around the country to provide access to vaccination records, lab test results and allergy information at all times. The creation of Activ4Pets involved a variety of experts, including veterinarians and animal shelter and rescue workers. They wanted to develop a system that gave people easy access to information that would allow them to be more engaged and aware of what they needed for their pets. It’s all about wellness for the lifetime of a pet!
Activ4Pets is a great way to manage all pet information, vaccination history, vet notes, vet visits, etc. It’s a two-way connection where vets and others involved in a pet’s life are able to include items about the pet. All a pet owner has to do is set up an account, and log in through a computer or a mobile app. Then the owner can easily access their pet’s information to share in case of an emergency or other needed moment.
Activ4Pets also provides other support, like “Ask The Vet,” a comprehensive list of information that people can use if they have a simple question that may not require an trip to their vet. Activ4Pets can also provide video feeds straight to a vet, so a vet could potentially see what is going on with a pet via video before heading in.
Right now, Activ4Pets requires no financial commitment to shelters and rescues, providing their platform as a complimentary service to help nonprofits. The main challenge Activ4Pets faces is getting the word out! Feedback has been phenomenal, however—so much so that many corporations are even adding Activ4Petss to their employee benefit packages!
