About Veta

We're building the kind of care our own pets deserved.

Veta started as a shared Notion page between a worried owner and a second-opinion vet. It's grown into a team of twelve people who believe pet health deserves the same calm, joined-up infrastructure that human health is finally getting.

Our dogs and cats can't tell us when something's off. They rely on the tiny patterns we forget to notice — the limp that showed up once in August, the skin flare that only happens after grooming, the appetite dip that correlates with a new medication.

Veta exists so those patterns don't get lost between visits, apps, clinics, and years.

What we believe

Three convictions that shape every decision we make.

01

Health is a story, not a spreadsheet.

Most pet-health tools act like filing cabinets. We treat your pet's history as a living narrative — one that reveals patterns only when you can see it whole.

02

The quiet path is the right path.

Care shouldn't shout. No streaks, no guilt, no gamification. Veta gently surfaces what matters and gets out of the way when it doesn't.

03

Your data belongs to your pet.

We never sell records. We never share without explicit permission. Your pet's history is portable, exportable, and yours forever — even if you leave.

The origin story

Started by a Notion doc, a rescue dog, and a second-opinion call.

In 2023, Nora's senior rescue Tucker had a bad week — lethargy, appetite loss, a rash on his side. His primary vet ran three tests. Nothing was wrong. A week later, his groomer mentioned the rash had shown up before, after the same oatmeal shampoo.

“The pattern was there. It just lived in four different places — none of them connected. That's when we realized: pet health doesn't need more features. It needs a memory.”— Nora Ellis, Co-founder

We sketched Veta on a flight back from Maya's clinic in Austin. Six months later, we shipped the first beta to fifty families. Today, Veta is the quiet health passport for forty-two thousand pets — and the number we're proudest of isn't users. It's the 3,100 early-warning patterns Veta has flagged since we started.
