OUR STORY

Giving Vets Their Time Back.

CoVet was born from a simple truth—veterinarians didn’t sign up for endless paperwork. Dr. Mike Mossop saw firsthand how documentation drained time and energy from patient care. Partnering with Yannick Bloem, a former Senior Engineer at Apple, and Mike Parent, a seasoned entrepreneur whose mother is a DVM, they set out to build a solution to lighten the load.

Since then, CoVet has helped thousands of veterinary professionals reclaim their time. And we’re just getting started.

Our focus on flexibility, personalization, data security, and unwavering trust and accuracy ensures veterinarians can dedicate more time to themselves and their patients. We’re not just building a tool—we’re shaping the future of veterinary medicine, where technology works for vets, not the other way around.
