Petco + Butterfly expand access to pet ultrasound
Digital health firm, Butterfly Network, Inc., and pet care giant, Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc., has inked a deal that will bring whole-body ultrasound capability to Petco pet care centers with veterinary facilities.
“As we continue bringing innovative technologies to the full-service veterinary hospitals in Petco pet care centers nationwide, we are thrilled to partner with Butterfly to increase pets' access to high-quality ultrasound imaging,” said Dr. Whitney Miller, DVM, MBA, DACVPM, chief veterinarian at Petco. “The single probe, full-body technology of the Butterfly iQ+ Vet system will arm our veterinarians with ultrasound imaging that will help speed diagnoses and improve health outcomes, ultimately delivering the best possible care to every pet, as well as the families who love them.”
The agreement will place Butterfly’s Butterfly iQ+ Vet devices in Petco facilities. Butterfly iQ+ Vet is an AI-powered whole-body ultrasound device that is handheld and uses one probe. The device can be used to evaluate multiple animal species. There are about 200 Petco locations with veterinary services nationwide.
“With the Butterfly iQ+ Vet, seeing is knowing,” said Darius Shahida, chief strategy and business development officer at Butterfly Network. “Butterfly iQ+ Vet gives practitioners the ability to make more informed, better decisions, earlier in care. Coupled with Petco's pet care expertise, high-quality products, and trusted veterinary services, our partnership makes it easier than ever for pet parents to get everything they need – including real-time, high-quality ultrasound information.”
