We all are busy bees with little time to spare.
When trying to combine professional with personal lives things get stressful.
For that reason, I’m making your life easier by coming to YOU on your screen.
The lack of available vets due to the large amount of patients to be seen in a day make little room for more appointments to be booked.
While a physical consultation is by far the best choice for a proper diagnosis, an ONLINE consultation can free you from going to the vet when it’s not an emergency, for a general check up and in many cases it comes very useful for second opinion assessments.
Many times I see pet owners coming to the vet for “issues” that are not urgent, issues that can be dealt with at home with some easy guidance thru the phone of video call.
This saves YOU, the owner, not only time but also unnecessary money spending .
I’m sure this situation sounds familiar…
You’re relaxing at home on a Sunday afternoon in front of the fireplace, it’s cold and snowy.
You are sipping on a nice glass of wine when…
Suddenly your dog vomits right there in front of you and he looks poorly.
You’re worried as you think it might be something serious.
But it’s Sunday, meaning, no vet clinics are open.
You have to rush to the emergency vet, hoping they can attend you at their earliest convenience.
You search for emergency vets in your area but can’t find any…
At least not in a 20km radius.
You try calling, but there’s no one on the other line to answer and put you at peace.
You panic and you call a friend who also has a pet.
You need peace of mind and even though she’s not a vet, she’s got a dog that might have had the similar issue.
She, being a responsible pet owner, is afraid of telling you it will be ok and that it’s best to go to the vet immediately.
This makes you panic even more.
After a stressful search online and asking friends over many phone calls…
You manage to find a vet who does afterhours.
But with the bad weather, it takes you a while to get there and you’re getting more stressed.
FINALLY you manage to get there, but you have to wait as the vet is very busy.
You stress even more.
They finally see you and your dog.
The vet, after a thorough examination tells you it’s nothing to worry about and it’s just a mild stomach upset.
He prescribes nothing, just tells you to NOT FEED the dog for 24h.
But the bill is 200€.
You go home with a bit more peace yet stressed and exhausted.
Your relaxing Sunday is over and you hardly had any rest.
And the next day, the hard working week starts over….
Now imagine this scenario…
The same relaxing Sunday.
You see your dog vomiting and looking poorly.
You don’t panic nor worry.
You just contact your vet for a video call.
You talk directly to the vet and he tells you not to worry.
He advices to keep an eye on the dog for 24h, to provide no food or bland high digestible food.
He provides you with tips on how to check for symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, etc.
You follow instructions given.
You continue having that glass of wine and having a lovely Sunday afternoon in front of the fire.
You start the week with a normal healthy dog and refreshed to start the week strong at work.
