The Future of Pet Medical Care Envisioned by 12 Specialty Pet Pharmacies

🐾🌸We endorse April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is the dream of 12 pharmacies.

■Pet Medical Care Envisioned by 12 Pharmacies

🐾One beautiful spring day, in the examination room of a certain animal hospital. The veterinarian faces the pet, explaining gently and with a smile to the owner.

🌸In the waiting room, a nurse calms an unsettled pet, and the owner, forgetting their anxious expression while waiting, now wears a relieved look.

🐾The sight of staff worrying about drug inventory risks, labor shortages, and quality control has disappeared. By utilizing 12 Pharmacy, nurses can carefully observe the pet's condition, veterinarians can focus on examinations, and both have more time to be close to pets and their owners.

🌸In the dispensing room of 12 Pharmacy, pharmacists are checking prescriptions and preparing medications. To ensure owners don't get confused, the pet's name and dosage instructions are printed large on the bag. New forms of medication are available, designed so pets will not dislike taking them, including multi-drug pills, flavored syrups, and transdermal absorption patches. Owners who receive the medication feel a warmth from the package with their family member's name written on it, and can safely give the medicine to their pet.

🐾At the owner's home, the pet eagerly licks up the medicine, and the owner watches with a smile. There's no longer a scene of the pet running away, refusing medication. The smartphone app displays medication history and notifications for the next vaccine appointment, and even distant grandparents can monitor the pet's health status via the app. Wearable devices constantly monitor health, and in case of an emergency, notify of any abnormalities.

🌸We at 12 Pharmacy are creating a future where such scenes become commonplace. Currently, many animal hospitals are using our services, and we dream of the day when online pharmacies become the standard in Japan.

■Our Vision

🐾12 Pharmacy operates with the aim of creating a world where "pets, owners, and animal hospitals can all be happy together." The inspiration for our founding came from hearing voices in animal hospitals saying things like "dispensing is troublesome" and "I don't want to handle accounting," leading us to want to reduce burdens other than medical examination. We believe that the true reason veterinarians and veterinary nurses chose this profession is to save animals and face life alongside their owners. However, in reality, tasks such as dispensing, inventory management, and accounting accumulate, reducing the time they can truly dedicate to their primary purpose. With labor shortages progressing due to population decline, we felt that traditional methods had their limits, so we created a system that allows dispensing to be outsourced. By entrusting dispensing to external parties, veterinarians can concentrate on examinations and increase the time they spend carefully engaging with pets and their owners. All our staff will continue to work with this vision in mind, so that animal hospital professionals can continue to work richly and vibrantly.
