RexVet says it served 8,313 pets in year one

By AI, Created 2:53 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – RexVet said it served 8,313 pet parents across Florida, New York and Virginia in its first year, as the Miami-based nonprofit online vet marks the first anniversary of Florida’s PETS Act. The organization is leaning on lower pricing, same-day prescriptions and shelter partnerships to expand telehealth access for pet owners who delay care because of cost.

Why it matters: - RexVet is pitching a cheaper route to veterinary care in states where pet owners may skip or delay visits because of cost. - The nonprofit model is designed to push revenue back into access programs, not shareholder returns. - Florida’s PETS Act has created a more defined path for veterinary telehealth, which could shape how online vet care expands in other states.

What happened: - RexVet, legally Rex Vets Inc., said it served 8,313 pet parents in its first year. - The Miami-based 501(c)(3) operates in Florida, New York and Virginia. - The organization said it averaged 4.9 out of 5 stars across patient encounters. - RexVet marked the one-year anniversary of Florida’s PETS Act, also known as HB849. - The law allows licensed Florida veterinarians to prescribe medication during video consultations. - RexVet said it is one of the first providers operating under that framework.

The details: - RexVet charges $64.99 per single visit. - The Family Plan costs $120 per year and includes four visits plus unlimited messaging for every pet in a household. - Same-day prescription delivery is handled through RexVetRx in the states where the service operates. - The company said service is available 24/7 with no surcharge for nights, weekends or holidays. - Free first visits are available for pets adopted from partner shelters and rescues. - RexVet said surplus revenue is reinvested into free first visits, per-adopter credits paid back to partner shelters and subsidized care for low-income families. - The nonprofit said it is rated Top Rated Non-Profit 2025 with Platinum Transparency 2025 on Candid, and its Form 990 is publicly available. - RexVet said its veterinarians, including CEO Dr. Tiffany Delacruz, are licensed in Florida, New York and Virginia. - RexVet was founded in 2024 and is based in Miami. - Donations to RexVet are tax-deductible.

Between the lines: - RexVet is positioning itself against for-profit telehealth players such as Vetster, Pawp, Dutch and FirstVet. - The pricing structure is meant to look predictable next to monthly-per-pet subscriptions and higher per-visit marketplace pricing. - The shelter-adoption programs suggest RexVet is using telehealth as both a care channel and a fundraising-adjacent nonprofit mission tool.

What’s next: - RexVet is working with shelters and rescues in Florida, New York and Virginia to expand the free-first-visit program. - Pet owners and shelter coordinators can apply for the partnership program through the shelter partnership page. - More information is available at RexVet’s website.
