Connecting Kenya's pet owners with veterinarians who care.
We believe every pet in Kenya deserves qualified, affordable veterinary care — and every vet deserves the tools to grow a sustainable practice. Pet n Vet brings both sides together in one trusted marketplace.
Our mission
Kenya has over 4 million pets but fewer than 1,500 registered veterinarians, most of them concentrated in Nairobi. Pet owners in Kiambu, Nakuru, Mombasa, or Eldoret often struggle to find a qualified vet quickly — especially in emergencies.
Pet n Vet was built to close that gap. We give pet owners a verified directory of KVB-registered vets, real-time availability, instant M-Pesa booking, and a digital health passport for their animals. For vets, we provide a steady stream of bookings, a telemedicine channel, and immediate M-Pesa payouts — so they can focus on medicine, not admin.
Our ambition is a Kenya where no pet waits more than 30 minutes for qualified veterinary advice, no matter where they live.
Built for Kenya
Pet n Vet is not a generic platform re-skinned for the Kenyan market. Every feature was designed with Kenya in mind:
M-Pesa & Airtel Money
Pay for appointments and subscriptions with the payment method Kenyans actually use — no card required.
KVB verification
Every vet on the platform is cross-checked against the Kenya Veterinary Board register before their profile goes live.
Swahili UI (coming soon)
A full Swahili interface is in active development so that pet owners across all 47 counties feel at home on the platform.
County-level reach
We actively recruit vets in underserved counties including Isiolo, Garissa, Turkana, and the Coast region.
The team
Pet n Vet is built by ALAT LABS, a Nairobi-based technology studio focused on building software that solves real problems for East African communities.
Full-stack engineer and founder of ALAT LABS. Ali leads architecture, infrastructure, and backend services for Pet n Vet.
AI/ML engineer. Kevin builds the intelligent matching, triage, and smart search features that help owners find the right vet fast.
We work closely with practising veterinarians, pet owners, and Kenya Veterinary Board representatives to make sure the platform reflects the real needs of the profession.
