The story

Vetstoria was founded in 2015 by two veterinarians and an engineer to fix a single problem: pet owners couldn't self-book appointments and front desks were drowning in phone calls. The company expanded from booking into websites and payments, integrating with 30+ practice management systems globally. In 2022 it was acquired into the PetDesk (Petvisor) family, and by 2026 it is being unified under the PetDesk brand — effectively becoming the international arm of a US-based veterinary software platform. In the US, Vetstoria operates as PetDesk.
