us
Petline Direct launched in July 2006 following the idea
of the two co-founders to try to make immediate veterinary
advice more accessible, thereby aiming to improve the welfare
of animals. Petline Direct first launched with a 24-hour
telephone advice service. More recently, email advice
and a consultancy service have been introduced thereby offering
businesses a fuller range of veterinary services.
