About The Project

Sploot Vets Parent Portal is a mobile application designed to revolutionize how pet owners interact with veterinary services. Developed for Sploot Veterinary Care, a fast-growing network of clinics across Denver, Chicago, and Colorado Springs, the app offers a convenient and user-friendly digital solution for pet care management. From vet consultations to medication reminders and pet product delivery, the platform enhances every aspect of the pet care experience.

Send push notifications for care reminders and promotions.
Support future features like pet food and pet product delivery.
