Will Petus replace my vet?

No — and it will tell you so. Petus handles the everyday: the “is this normal?” questions, the photo checks, the record-keeping, the trends. Its job is to tell you clearly when something deserves a vet’s eyes, and to hand your vet the full story when it does. Whenever it’s unsure, it says “see a vet” — it never guesses past its evidence.

Is Petus free to use?

Yes. Chat, photo symptom checks, the health record, reminders — free, no card. Petus on-demand vet consults are rolling out as simple pay-as-you-go; you choose each one, so there’s never a surprise charge.

How does Petus know what it knows?

Its advice is grounded in published veterinary guidance — WSAVA, AAHA, IRIS and other bodies vets themselves follow — combined with what it has learned about your pet: breed, age, history, the trends in their record. It cites its sources in chat, and it’s built to be cautious rather than clever.

What happens to my pet’s data?

It’s yours. The record belongs to you — export it, share it with your vet, or delete it whenever you like. We never sell it.

Which pets does Petus support, and where?

Dogs and cats today, starting in the UK. We’re opening area by area — if Petus isn’t live where you are yet, join the waitlist and your invite will land the moment it is.

What’s new: one conversation for the whole household

No more switching chats per pet. Petus is now one ongoing conversation that knows all your animals, remembers what you tell it, and checks in on its own.

When we started, Petus kept a separate chat for every pet. It seemed tidy. In practice it meant that if you had a dog and a cat, you had two assistants who'd never met — and telling Petus "the cat's been stealing the dog's food" required choosing which chat to say it in.

That's gone.

One conversation

Petus is now a single, ongoing conversation for your whole household. Mention Luna and Max in the same breath and it knows exactly who's who — species, ages, histories and all. Everything still files itself to the right pet's record behind the scenes; you just talk.

It remembers the small things

Petus now keeps a memory of what you mention in passing — that she hates the car, that he had a bad reaction to a certain treat, that the limp showed up after the beach weekend. Weeks later, those details come back when they matter. And if you said something in passing three weeks ago and can't find it, ask — Petus can search its own conversation history.

Memory is yours to see and correct: there's a new surface in settings where you can read exactly what Petus believes about your pets, and fix anything it got wrong.

It starts conversations too

Petus now checks in on its own — a gentle note when a follow-up you mentioned comes due, or when something in the record looks worth a second look. Not a daily horoscope; a colleague who notices.

A small shop, done honestly

There's now a Shop tab: a hand-picked set of well-reviewed UK products — food, supplements, everyday kit. When Petus suggests something, it's because it matches your pet's actual profile and history, and it says why. It will never recommend around a contraindication, and it isn't paid placement.

The upshot: Petus stopped being an app you operate and started being something closer to a person who knows your animals. That was always the point.
