Our purpose
VetConnect Pakistan connects veterinary expertise with the people, animals and businesses that need it. Built around PVMC-registered veterinarians, the platform brings farmers, livestock keepers, pet owners, allied professionals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, companies and employers into a shared veterinary and animal-health network. It helps participants present their expertise, discover relevant services, build professional relationships and find reliable sector information.
Our communications heritage
VetConnect builds on The Veterinary News & Views (VNV), established in 1987, and its nearly four decades of veterinary and animal-sector communications, publishing and professional relationships. The project carries that experience into a digital environment, combining sector knowledge, information and professional connectivity with tools for discovery, collaboration and growth.
A founder-led platform for Pakistan
Muhammad Atif Naseem, Founder of VetConnect, identifies the project as Pakistan’s first integrated platform combining verified veterinary and animal-health communications with verified professional and business connections. This positioning reflects the founder’s stated vision and assessment of the platform’s combined scope.
Our mission
To make qualified veterinary care, professional expertise and relevant opportunities easier to find and connect. We help people and organisations present their qualifications, experience, skills, laboratory capabilities and services clearly, and connect with the clients, colleagues, employers and partners relevant to their work. Our focus spans livestock, poultry, dairy, companion animals, fisheries and allied animal-health disciplines.
Veterinary professionals and allied expertise
Professional identity is central to VetConnect. Profiles bring together education, institutions, experience, specialisations, skills, services and selected public contact details. Veterinarians, allied specialists, researchers, students and laboratory professionals can use their profiles to establish visibility, share relevant expertise and pursue career or business relationships. Qualification review, professional registration and the scope of services offered are assessed separately.
Connecting farmers, pet owners and care providers
Relevant connections depend on both expertise and location. VetConnect’s geographic structure supports discovery by province, district, tehsil and city or locality, alongside animal sector and service requirements. This helps farmers and pet owners find appropriate practitioners and facilities, while helping professionals reach the communities they serve. More detailed geographic matching and location-based services form part of the platform’s continuing development. Planned appointment requests will bring together the practitioner’s expertise, animal species and stated availability; a request becomes a booking only after confirmation by the provider.
Companies, services and product information
VetConnect gives animal-health businesses a structured way to present their identity, services and products and connect with relevant professionals and customers. Its product-reference framework covers brand and generic names, active ingredients or salts, strength, formulation, pack size, manufacturer, authorised supplier and available regulatory information, supported by identifiable sources. The aim is to help veterinarians, students, professionals and buyers understand and compare product information. Each review label applies to its stated scope; clinical use follows the current approved label and the treating practitioner’s judgement. Companies and authorised representatives can submit their profiles and product information for the applicable review and publication approval. Submission alone does not make a listing public.
Jobs and professional opportunities
The careers network connects candidates with relevant employers, vacancies and professional opportunities. Job information is organised around the employer, source, qualifications, experience, location and application requirements. Candidates can build their professional identity, explore suitable work and connect with businesses seeking relevant skills. Employers remain responsible for their advertisements, selection decisions and employment arrangements. The careers programme also includes CV support and the development of job preferences, relevant vacancy matching and optional email alerts. Preference-based automation and alerts will be described as available only after the relevant account workflow is enabled and verified.
Learning, skills and knowledge sharing
VetConnect supports professional growth through sector information, knowledge sharing, training opportunities and connections between academia and industry. Its learning programme encompasses courses, webinars, workshops and practical skill development for veterinarians, students, farm teams and animal-health businesses. Online enrolment, assessments and completion records are being developed as part of this programme; each opportunity states the services currently available.
Animal records and continuity of care
VetConnect’s development programme extends these connections into individual-animal, herd and poultry-flock management: identification, clinical history, veterinarian-authored prescriptions, treatment, vaccination and follow-up records. Owner-reported symptoms and observations will be distinguished from the treating veterinarian’s clinical findings and decisions. The objective is a continuous record that supports informed care and communication between owners and authorised professionals. These record-management capabilities are under development and will be introduced with defined access permissions, clinical responsibilities and privacy controls.
Our startup journey
VetConnect is part of Cohort 3 at the National Incubation Center Faisalabad, which lists Muhammad Atif Naseem as Founder. We acknowledge NIC Faisalabad’s role in the startup’s incubation and development journey. The centre is supported through the Ministry of IT & Telecom and Ignite National Technology Fund.
Verification, independence and trust
VetConnect is an independent online digital platform. Links with regulators, institutions and professional organisations support access to relevant information and sector connections.
