ABOUT US
OUR COMPANY
Vetexpertise is a didactic online platform exclusive for veterinary surgeons, whose objective is to create a global network between the medical veterinary community of various countries and American/European specialists. This intercommunication will make it possible for any veterinary surgeon, anywhere in the world, to access a myriad of information that would otherwise be inaccessible. The power of the globalization of veterinary medicine lies in the ability to bring all the latest techniques and the most specialized information to all, by sharing the know-how of board certified American and European veterinary specialist who have marked the evolution of Veterinary Medicine in the last two decades. The path to success is not achieved alone or isolated but as a team and community. The health care of animals is directly reflected in human health.
The creation of a global medical-veterinary community where knowledge and evolution are at the click of a button. The 21st century is being characterized by an aging global population. It is also true that, due to economic and social factors, the birth rate is declining dramatically worldwide, both in developed and in some underdeveloped countries. On the other hand, the number of companion animals is growing exponentially. Companion animals have become part of the family and a pillar within the household. These animals are no longer just backyard or guard animals, they live with us and share our homes. The change in the status of the companion animals in society has also changed the way guardians care for their animals. The demand and search for medical and veterinary services have increased significantly because the concerns of guardians about animal health, quality, and welfare have become a priority. This globalization is a crucial step in ensuring that the veterinary medical community meets the challenge posed by the evolution of society regarding its animal companions.
