While naysayers continue to mock El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment, Chivo Pets demonstrates how cryptocurrency is making a real-world difference to lives.

“The new hospital “Chivo Pets El Salvador” has 12 consulting rooms that will provide approximately 384 daily consultations. Each office has modern equipment to provide quality care and accurate diagnoses to each patient.”

Far from being a gimmick, each service costs a flat rate of just $0.25, with the option to pay in Bitcoin via the Chivo Wallet or other cryptocurrency wallets. In contrast, an emergency vet visit in the U.S. can cost up to $8,000, giving unfortunate pet owners in this situation an unthinkable choice.

But thanks to Bitcoin, our furry friends in El Salvador can get the treatment they need at heavily subsidized rates.
