All pet owners in the US can enroll their companion animals in the national network that generates SMS text and email alerts when a pet is lost or found. The alerts include the missing pet’s photo and additional information to raise awareness of them, similar to an Amber Alert.

Upilio is an artificial intelligence–driven app that provides reliable, customized veterinary advice on various pet species for pet owners to incorporate a proactive approach to their care. The app utilizes a smart algorithm that infers domain information and gives recommendations based on a pet’s health, age, and chronic condition. Upilio does not replace a veterinary visit and does not replace a veterinary-client relationship.
