A baseline for every patient. A head start for every visit.

Turn each dog’s history into a prognostic picture owners can act on.

How it works

Get clients at their best, without extra work

Pointer prepares clients before the visit, engages them in the room, and sends them home with a plan they’ll follow. Your workflow stays the same.

  1. Every patient, thoroughly understood

    Each dog gets a health forecast based on factors from their medical records like breed, weight, and more.

  2. The right insights, found for you

    From the forecast, we surface unique prognostic insights, so you know what's worth noting.

    Example insight cards: Periodontal Disease, medium, 74% risk; Chronic Kidney Disease, low, 28% risk
  3. Clients prepared before they arrive

    Pointer shares those insights with clients before the visit, so they arrive primed and ready for conversation.

  4. Visits that start further along

    When clients arrive prepared, you're free to spend time on care instead of convincing.

    Example action plan for Bonnie: twice-yearly bloodwork and a dental cleaning to discuss with the vet

Frequently asked questions

  • Pointer identifies each patient's individualized disease risk before clinical signs appear. This supports earlier intervention and better clinical outcomes.

  • Pointer's predictive accuracy was independently evaluated by an outside firm on real clinical data from over 18,000 dogs, with results well above comparable veterinary and human models. You can see the results here. Further validation studies are ongoing, including peer-reviewed publication.

  • Recommendations are generated through statistical causal modeling and pattern recognition across millions of health records. Each risk profile draws 850 data points from your practice management software (diagnostic history, health history, signalment, lifestyle, and environment) to run through a proprietary health map linking conditions, drivers, and interventions.

  • No. Pointer never diagnoses, and every recommendation a pet owner will see is designed to lead back to a conversation with your team.

  • Share more about your practice so Pointer Health can provide a personalized experience from day one.
