Users Testimonials
The were extremely professional. They worked with me to find an appointment and never failed to contact me with updates. Once I had an appointment Dr. Anderson knew exactly what was needed and was a great help. This is a fantastic service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Chloe, Allie’s Mom
I spoke with a Dr. Catington about my dog Ollie. He spent more time with me than my vet has in the last 20 years. I was hesitant to try this service, but Dr. Catington was extremely thorough and professional and spent 20 minutes talking to me, I could have asked more questions, there was no “hurry” in the appointment. I will be making more appointments in the future.If you’re dog is anxious about going to the vet, I highly recommend this service and Dr. Catington.

Virtual Care Team FAQs
Q: What does a virtual care team do?
A: Your virtual care team consists of US licensed veterinarians and vet technicians. All appointments are with veterinarians and our vet technicians are available for customer support. Through the platform, pet parents can receive advice on the best next steps for their pet, and when legally allowed and medically appropriate, receive medications delivered to their home.
Q: How does a telehealth appointment work?
A: Based on where the pet parent is based, they will see the option to book an advice appointment or an advice + medication appointment. If the pet parent is in a state where veterinarians are not legally allowed to prescribe via video, then pet parents will see the option to select either a video or chat appointment for advice. If the pet parent lives in a state where a vet is allowed to legally prescribe, they will have the option to schedule a video appointment.
When a pet parent books an appointment, the pet parent will receive an email and SMS confirmation. 5 minutes before their appointment start time, the pet parent will receive a reminder SMS with a link to join the appointment.
All appointments are done with a US licensed veterinarian who specializes in the client’s pet’s species.
