The Challenge
BetterVet, the leading mobile veterinary provider in the U.S., had built a suite of digital products to offer mobile veterinary care and telehealth services. However, user engagement was low—most pet owners used the app only once or twice a year, which was expected but problematic for retention. The platform also struggled with customer loyalty, low booking frequency, and a high churn rate within the booking flows. Something had to change to create a more engaging and effective experience.
The Solution
Through extensive research and user discovery, we uncovered a core issue: the existing experience didn’t create a strong emotional connection between pet owners and the platform. To solve this, we reimagined BetterVet’s digital ecosystem from the ground up, placing pets at the core of the experience.
The Results
BetterVet evolved from a service-based app into a dynamic, loyalty-driven platform. Pet owners were now more engaged, using the app more frequently and booking more services. With a redesigned experience centered around their pets, BetterVet not only improved retention and conversion but also solidified its position as the go-to mobile veterinary provider in the industry.
This transformation played a key role in BetterVet’s success, ultimately leading to its acquisition by The Vets—proof that a user-first approach to design and strategy can drive both business growth and customer satisfaction.
