VetRxNow exists because one pet owner refused to accept that finding the right care for your pet, at a fair price, should be so hard. This is her story.
Kesia Antunes has spent her life making sure the pets in her care had the very best: the best food, the best attention, and above all, the best healthcare she could find. For years, her Shih Tzu Appa was at the center of that love.
When Appa passed away in 2024, Kesia felt the full weight of what so many pet owners carry: the fear that you didn't do enough, that you didn't know where to turn, that good care wasn't as accessible as it should have been. That feeling didn't leave her. It drove her.
Kesia founded VetRxNow with one belief at its core: every pet deserves the care Appa had. Not just pets whose owners live near a great vet. Not just pets whose owners can afford to overpay. Every dog. Every cat. Every family.
VetRxNow is her answer: one honest place to compare pet medications, online vets, and pet insurance, so every dog and cat owner knows where to go and what it should cost.
Appa was a Shih Tzu with more personality than most people Kesia has ever met. Stubborn, loving, and completely convinced he was the most important being in any room. He probably was.
For years Kesia made sure Appa had the best veterinary care she could find. She researched. She asked questions. She pushed for second opinions. She did everything a devoted pet owner does.
When Appa passed in 2024, the grief was profound. But alongside it came a clarity Kesia hadn't expected: not every pet owner knows what she knew. Not every pet owner has the access she had. That gap, between the care pets deserve and the care they actually get, is what VetRxNow was built to close.
Appa never got to see what his life inspired. But every dog and cat whose owner finds better care through VetRxNow carries a little piece of him forward.
"Every pet owner deserves to know exactly where to go to get the best care for their pet, and to be able to get there instantly, from anywhere."
The commitments Appa inspired, and the ones that guide every decision VetRxNow makes.
Rankings are based on what you pay and what you get. Never on what a provider pays us.
Medication prices, licensed online vets, and insurance options in one place, whenever you need them.
Dogs and cats, big and small, young and old. Built for every pet owner, not just some.
VetRxNow is free because some providers pay us when you buy through our links. That never changes our rankings, and we never sell your information.
How we rank and make money →I know that feeling. I've been there. Watching a pet you love more than you ever expected to love an animal, wondering if you're doing enough, if you're getting them to the right people, if you're making the right calls.
Appa taught me what it means to advocate completely for a pet. He also showed me, in his leaving, that not every pet owner has the knowledge, the access, or the confidence to fight for their pet the way they deserve to be fought for.
That's not okay. It's not okay that where you live, how busy your week is, or how much you happen to know about pet care should determine the quality of care your dog or cat receives.
VetRxNow is my answer to that. One honest place to see your options for medications, online vet visits, and pet insurance, and what each should really cost. No guesswork. No overpaying. No compromises on your pet's care.
Every time someone uses VetRxNow, I think about Appa. About what he gave me. And I think about the pet behind every search, and the owner who loves them the way I loved him.
That pet deserves the best. So does yours.
