Interview! Kimberley Heeney, Vice President of Operations Active for Pets

"My goal is that anyone, anytime, anywhere, irregardless of economics or world areas, would be able to utilize Active for Pets for their pet's well-being and health."

With over 25 years of experience in the human healthcare industry, Kimberley Heeney brings a wealth of expertise to the Active for Pets team. She has always been passionate about helping animals who don't have a voice and has always had a pet, even while she worked in her old human healthcare role.The goal of Active for Pets is to identify, align and achieve objectives and is the first to bring a complete suite of medicine for pet owners with mobile health technology. It brings the benefits of humantelemedicine to pets with a unique and acute understanding of affordable, accessible and flexible pet health care for shelters and pet adoption.

When working in the human healthcare industry, Kimberley noticed that people don't always ask the right questions of their doctors. They don't seem to have a true knowledge of what they need when it comes to new medicines or tests. That's where the original Active Doctor came into play. People now have 24/7 access to all of their health history at all hospitals worldwide. Kimberley quickly saw the benefit of moving this to the pet world, as well. Enter Active for Pets.

Pet owners always want the best care for their "pet kids" and Active for Pets works with humane societies around the country to give vaccination, lab test results and allergy information at all times. The creation involved experts from veterinarians, animal shelters and rescues, who wanted an easy solution that gave easy access to people to be more engaged and aware of what they needed for their pets. It's about the wellness for the lifetime of a pet!

Active for Pets is a great way to manage all pet information, vaccination history, vet notes, vet visits, etc. It's a two-way connection where vets and others involved in a pet's life are able to include items about their pet. All a pet owner has to do is set up an account, log-in through their computer or a mobile app, and they can easily access their pet's information to share in case of an emergency or other needed moment.

Active for Pets also provides other support, like "Ask The Vet". It is a comprehensive list of information that people can use if they have a simple question that may not require and entire trip to their vet. It can also provide video feeds straight to a vet, so a vet could potentially see what is going on with a pet via video before heading in.

Right now, Active for Pets requires no financial commitment to shelters and rescues, as they provide this as a complimentary service to help these not-for-profit places. The main challenge they face is getting the voice out there. Feedback, however, has been phenomenal, so much that many corporations are even adding this to their employee benefit packages, as well!
