About Dr. Delacruz
Dr. Tiffany Delacruz, DVM is a licensed veterinarian and the Chief Executive Officer of RexVet — the first 501(c)(3) non-profit online veterinary telehealth service in the United States. Under her clinical and operational leadership, RexVet has served 8,313+ pet parents across Florida, New York, and Virginia with an average patient rating of 4.9/5 stars.
RexVet was founded to close a specific gap in American pet care: more than half of U.S. pet owners — 52% — skip or delay recommended veterinary care, primarily because of cost. The for-profit telehealth platforms that dominate the online vet category have made care more convenient, but they haven't structurally made it more affordable, because they answer to shareholders. RexVet's non-profit structure removes that constraint: visits stay at $64.99 and surplus revenue is reinvested into expanding access to care rather than distributed as profit. Dr. Delacruz leads the clinical and operational mission as the organization's CEO.
Clinically, Dr. Delacruz focuses on companion-animal preventive medicine and the telehealth-based triage of common, non-emergency conditions — skin and ear issues, urinary symptoms, digestive upsets, anxiety and behavioral concerns, flea and tick management, and routine prescription needs. She personally reviews medical content published on RexVet's blog and serves as the named medical reviewer in the structured data of every veterinary-care article on the site.
Dr. Delacruz also speaks publicly on the regulatory landscape for veterinary telehealth in the United States, with particular focus on Florida's PETS Act (HB849) — the 2024 legislation that established the clearest legal framework in the country for remote vet care, including the ability for licensed Florida veterinarians to prescribe medication during video consultations.
RexVet, under Dr. Delacruz's leadership, is recognized as Top Rated Non-Profit 2025 with the Platinum Transparency 2025 seal on Candid (formerly GuideStar). The organization's Form 990 is publicly available.
