Problem
Pet care still runs on phone calls and paper
12.5M
owned dogs and cats in Chile: 8.3M dogs and 4.2M cats.
~60%
are still unregistered, despite a mandatory national registry (Ley Cholito).
~0.2%
are insured, against 4.3% in the US and ~25% in the UK.
Booking is a phone call
Owners call or WhatsApp clinic by clinic. No prices, reviews or availability.
Records stay in each clinic
Switch vets and the history is gone. 21% of dogs and 32% of cats missed preventive vaccines.
One bad day is a big bill
With no insurance, emergencies are paid out of pocket, so care gets delayed.

Solution
One app for the whole life of a pet
Pet parents find the right vet nearby, book in seconds, and keep every visit, vaccine and policy in one record that follows the pet. Now that record also measures health between visits.
01
Find
Vets on a map, filtered by species, specialty, service, district and price. Ranked by distance, with reviews.
02
Book
In clinic, at home or by video. Live slots and upfront prices. Account created at checkout.
03
Track
Health record per pet: visits, vaccines, weight, certificates. Official vaccine card PDF and reminders.
04
Protect
Pet insurance bought in-app in four steps through BCI Seguros, tied to the pet's record.
05
Monitor
Lab biomarkers and a smart collar feed the Pet Age Clock and a live Health Score.

New · The Pet Age Clock
How old is Luna, really?
7
Calendar age
Years since she was born, 28 Sep 2019.
6.1
Biological age
What her lab biomarkers and collar data say.
60
Human age
Her biological age, if Luna were a person.
Luna ages at 0.87× the calendar: 0.9 years biologically younger. One number every pet parent understands.
PetViome · petviome.com · Confidential · October 2026
Product · Pet Age Clock
Three ages in one dial
The only age clock that combines bloodwork and collar data. Embark estimates calendar age from DNA; Elita uses a questionnaire.
Calendar
From the date of birth on the record.
Biological
Weighs 17 lab biomarkers and 7 collar vitals. Three modes: combined, labs only, collar only.
Human
Dogs: 16·ln(age)+31 (UCSD, Cell Systems 2020). Cats: AAHA/AAFP 2021.
Pace of aging
Biological years per calendar year. Below 1 means aging slower.

Live · Biomarkers & wearables
We measure pet health, not just record it
Lab biomarkers
Live
Bloodwork from home visits and partner labs, read by AI straight into the pet's record.
- Blood count and chemistry panels
- Kidney (SDMA, creatinine), liver, glucose, thyroid
- Lab PDFs parsed automatically, no typing
- Trends per pet against species and breed ranges
Wearable data
Live
A smart collar streams the signals vets never see between visits, 24/7.
- Temperature, heart rate and HRV
- Breathing rate at rest
- Activity, sleep and rest scores
- GPS that feeds the lost-pet network
Both feed one PetViome Health Score per pet, inside the record parents and vets already use.
PetViome · petviome.com · Confidential · October 2026
Product · Biomarkers
Lab results, read for each species
17
lab biomarkers in 6 systems: kidney, liver, metabolic, thyroid, blood, inflammation
Dog and cat ranges

Health Score and alerts

Product · AI assistant
Meet Nala, your pet's AI health assistant
Nala reads each pet's biomarkers, collar data, age clock and record, and answers any time of day.
Knows the pet: answers with its real values
Three languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese

PetViome · petviome.com · Confidential · October 2026
How the data works
From yearly checkups to continuous care
01
Measure
Collar signals every day, lab panels a few times a year.
02
Score
AI builds each pet's baseline, a Health Score and a biological age.
03
Alert
A drift from the pet's own baseline warns the parent and their vet early.
04
Act
One tap to video triage or a booking. Insurance priced on real health.
Every data point makes the record more valuable, and harder to leave.
