VETERINARY CONSULTS

I offer ONLINE ZOOM, TEXT, EMAIL and PHONE veterinary consultations for your pets welfare.

Despite all the advances in veterinary medicine, there are still clients who struggle to access routine veterinary care for their animals for a variety of reasons. Excessive distances, available transportation (including availability and ease of transportation for the patient), disability, language barriers, and financial issues are some examples of roadblocks. Today's high-quality telecommunication tools and software applications can provide almost seamless communication between clients and vet.

Online veterinary evaluation can tell you if your pet's symptoms or problems are an emergency or if you can wait for an appointment.

Online veterinary consultations can help you aid your pet before getting to a veterinarian.

Online veterinary consults can let you know how to make your pet vomit if it has ingested something toxic within the last 2 hours.
