Initiatives Worth Addressing
Get Pets Back Home
The pain of losing a pet is a torment like no other. Having pet identification could mean the difference between a joyful reunion and never seeing your cherished companion again.
Avoid Theft & Deaths
We have a mission to reunite lost pets with their families and find homes for those left behind. Yet, pet theft and shelter euthanasia cast shadows on this hope. A pet recovery system could save lives and reunite hearts.
Save Time, Raise Money
Veterinarians need to optimize their precious time and resources while uncovering new revenue opportunities, all while enhancing the care provided to pets who arrive without any identification or medical history.
Challenges: Fragmentation, Standardization, Incompatibility
While microchips hold the key to solving problems, the industry remains fragmented, lacks standardization, and struggles with user-friendliness. In general, the veterinary field lags behind other industries in embracing technological advancements.
Microchips have the potential to achieve a 100% success rate when scanned and registered correctly. However, the strategic incompatibility of various microchip brands means there was no universal scanner capable of reading the full spectrum of microchips encountered by pet care professionals.
Consequently, both vets and shelters have been hesitant to fully embrace microchipping. This lack of faith in the system has led veterinarians to be less proactive in promoting microchipping, while pet owners remain skeptical about registering their pets in a system with limited success rates.
Medical records and other essential data are currently scattered and rely on outdated processes like faxing and keeping hard-copy documents. This reliance on archaic methods hinder veterinarians and shelters from giving the high-quality care at the speed pets deserve.
Peeva Bridges the Gap by Bringing Innovation to the Forefront
Peeva proudly introduces the world’s first centralized pet identification and medical records registry, pet recovery system, and universal microchip and scanner solution, uniting pet owners and pet professionals through an integrated platform.
This system ties together the pet recovery process in a way that was previously unattainable. Our cloud-based pet registry stores millions of microchip IDs and seamlessly pairs them with complete pet medical records. The capability for veterinarians to access a pet’s complete medical history with a simple microchip scan encourages regular usage and tracking.
Our universal scanner and microchip, in conjunction with our instant notification system, pushes alerts to pet owners when their pet is scanned and pet professionals when a pet is flagged as lost. We provide pet owners with peace of mind, foster stronger bonds between pet owners and pet professionals, optimize operations for pet professionals, and ultimately enhance the well-being and return of pets.
