Mella Pet Care Launches Integration to Send Real-Time Vitals Data to Vetspire

Partnership with leading Vetspire PiMS will automatically capture vital signs from Mella hardware

Chicago, Il, (June 11, 2024) — Mella Pet Care, an ecosystem of health monitoring solutions for veterinarians and pet parents, has announced a key partnership integration with Vetspire, a leading practice management system (PiMS).  

Using their existing workflows, veterinarians can integrate Vetspire and other PiMS with the Mella Pet Care Desktop App to instantly collect vital signs from Mella devices.    

Through a user-friendly interface, the Mella Desktop App can automatically pull patient records, vital sign history and other critical data — removing the need for manual data entry. The veterinarian’s computer doesn’t even need to be in the same room as the Mella hardware. 

Mella currently offers four devices measuring axillary body temperature, BMI, and other essential health data in dogs and cats. Along with Vetspire, other PiMS integrating with the Mella app include Covetrus, ezyVet, Digitail, Rhapsody, Shepherd, NaVetor, and DaySmart, enabling thousands of practices to spend more time on patient care. 

“Vetspire is a cloud-based veterinary software that makes the veterinarian’s journey easier, allowing care teams to modernize their workflow”, says Cath Colton-Rhoads (Snr Director of Product, Vetspire). “Thanks to our integration with Mella, medical staff will spend less time writing notes and more time with our beloved pets”. 

“We understand the current frustration that veterinary practices face when dealing with multiple hardware and software platforms that don’t communicate with their existing PiMS,” says Anya Babbitt, CEO of Mella. “This new seamless integration allows practices to focus on what they do best — provide exceptional care to their furry patients.” 

The Mella Desktop App helps veterinary practices simplify their workflows, reduce errors, and improve efficiency. The app is available for download on Windows and Mac operating systems. Subscriptions are available for $15 per month or $90 per year. 

In a 2023, researchers at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL) found that treating dogs and cats with underarm thermometers like the Mella Pro “significantly” decreases procedure and handling time compared to conventional rectal thermometers — reducing animal stress and improving owner satisfaction.
