A company called Pet Health Network sells these veterinary information monitors to vet clinics across the United States, allowing vets and their clients to discuss pet health in a new way.

The monitor hangs on the wall, and is connected to a central computer inside the vet's office.

The system contains a digital library of animal health information, with 3D models, photos, and videos. Instead of trying to explain verbally to pet owners about the anatomy of a dog's hip, the PHN monitor will show it to them in sharp detail.

Clients can compare between "sick" and "healthy" images, and review homecare instructional videos.

The network also stores each pet's health history, and can be e-mailed to the client's home.

The system also offers pet trivia entertainment while clients wait.
