How VSOD (Vet Specialists on Demand) Is Using AI to Expand Specialist Access for Pet Owners Across MN
VSOD (Vet Specialists on Demand) is a Minnesota-based veterinary telehealth company bridging a critical gap in pet healthcare: access to board-certified specialists.

The platform also uses machine learning to surface relevant case history and diagnostic context ahead of each consult, so specialists walk in informed rather than starting cold.
