The global veterinary telemedicine market is projected to reach USD 1,230 million by 2028 from USD 530 million in 2023, at a CAGR of 18.3%. Growth in this market is largely driven by the increase in pet healthcare spending.

This telemedicine approach offers convenience, saves time, and allows for timely interventions and ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions.
