Life at Modern Animal

At Modern Animal, we are on a mission to better the lives of animals by building a place that's better for all of us who love them.

Today, we have just a single clinic in West Hollywood, which, so far, has garnered rave reviews. We have raised capital from leading venture capital funds (including Founders Fund, True Ventures, and Upfront Ventures), which will allow us to continue to roll out clinics in the Los Angeles area in 2021 (and beyond in the coming years). We are a new kind of veterinary company; we believe a better one. We are just getting started, and we cannot wait to meet you.
