Pet Online Consultation App "Pet Doctor" Open Every Day During Golden Week Without Holiday Closures!

Golden Week is a time when pets are prone to falling ill due to stress from temperature fluctuations and environmental changes during travel.

However, with many veterinary clinics closed or operating on reduced hours, many pet owners likely feel anxious about not having a place to consult when their regular vet is unavailable.

To alleviate such anxiety for pet owners, the online veterinary consultation app "Pet Doctor," operated by North Star Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kodai Takita; hereinafter "North Star"), will conduct daily consultations without any closed days during the Golden Week period.

■ Pet Doctor Consultation Hours

Every day 18:00 - 22:00

Since consultations can be accessed from anywhere nationwide, you can use the service for sudden illnesses during visits to hometowns or travel destinations.

If you are in need, please take advantage of "Pet Doctor's" online consultation.
