Google App Reviews

• Otto Scored: 4.6

• PetsApp Scored: 4.7

Users praise Otto Vet for its user-friendly interface and seamless appointment scheduling.

"I generally find the platform helpful, but it absolutely needs some UX help for multiple animals: animal profiles you can click on and nest conversations under would be great. Right now, it supports only one conversation at a time; with six cats, most of whom have some special needs, it's very odd to me that I can't run conversations on a couple of my cats at once, in different chats." - Ari Holmes

PetsApp receives high marks for its comprehensive features and excellent customer support.

"Dr. Martin [Island Veterinarian Group] was able to communicate timely and detailed information to me within a matter of minutes, which, in turn, I could read whenever convenient to do so. This app is a game changer and makes me feel like my fury family member is just as important as a human one with regards to receiving timely care and consultations. Staff are responsive and have quick turnarounds. The level of detail is excellent, and ease of accessibility is on point." - Lynitta F
