FAQ
Vetster is an online veterinary platform that connects pet parents with licensed veterinarians from home. With 24/7 access to virtual appointments, you can get professional guidance for your dog's skin concerns without traveling to a clinic.
All veterinarians on Vetster are licensed veterinary professionals. You can review a veterinarian's credentials, licensing information, and profile details before booking an appointment to find the right fit for your pet.
An online vet visit for your dog's skin issues starts with booking a virtual appointment at a time that works for you. During the consultation, a licensed veterinarian will discuss your dog's symptoms, assess the concern, and recommend personalized next steps, which may include treatment recommendations, monitoring, or prescription options where appropriate.
An online veterinarian can help determine whether your dog's skin problem may require urgent veterinary attention. If symptoms are mild or you're unsure how serious the issue is, a virtual consultation can provide guidance on what to do next. However, pets experiencing severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, collapse, seizures, major wounds, significant swelling, or rapidly worsening signs should be seen at an emergency clinic immediately.
Online vets may prescribe medication for dog skin conditions when it is medically appropriate and legally permitted in your area. Prescription availability depends on the veterinarian's clinical judgment, local regulations, and the details of your pet's condition.
Getting your dog's skin medication after a Vetster appointment is straightforward if your veterinarian prescribes treatment. Depending on availability in your area, you can choose home delivery through VetsterRx or fill the prescription through a local pharmacy.
