Petriage chosen as preferred telehealth provider for Veterinary Growth Partners

Petriage will be offering its telehealth services to a large veterinary hospital network as a new preferred provider.

Veterinary Growth Partners, a 5,500-member management services organization, has selected Petriage as its preferred telehealth solution provider. VGP is part of Pathway Vet Alliance.

Under the partnership, Petriage will provide VGP members preferred pricing for its software platform. Petriage’s Basic service assesses the urgency of a dog or cat’s health symptoms and delivers recommendations. The Essential service level offers telemonitoring capabilities with a veterinarian. The Premium service level adds the ability to chat live with the vet and share photos and video for full engagement about a pet’s health. Fees for the Essential and Premium service levels are usually included in a veterinarian’s annual charge to a client, according to the announcement.

Petriage will also participate in VGP’s practice management training programs for veterinary clinic owners, managers and staff. VGP provides coaching and educational training in areas including patient care, operations, strategic planning, financial marketing, human resources and customer service.

“We’re excited and privileged to be a part of VGP’s exceptional training and education programs, especially as interest in telehealth rises among veterinarians since the coronavirus pandemic disrupted their in-person practices,” said Petriage CEO Joseph Coury. “In particular, we are pleased to offer the expertise of our co-founder and chief veterinary officer, Dr. Shlomo Freiman, DVM, to VGP’s members and veterinarian consultants.”
