ABSTRACT
Accessibility and convenience are the capabilities of a mobile application that can offer its services to its users. In the Philippines, there is limited online availability in the market which provides in-home and medicine delivery services. The objective of this study is to create a mobile application that can address the challenges in the online marketplace and contribute to bridging its gaps. This research introduces VETGO, a mobile application designed to enhance accessibility and convenience in in-home pet medical services and medication delivery for pet owners in the Philippines. The application enables users to seamlessly book in-home medical services, order pet medications, and connect with nearby veterinarians. Under the User Acceptance Testing phase, the outcomes underscore the application's efficacy in meeting the needs and are evidence of its potential for broader implementation within the pet care industry.
