I love my chat with Dr. Buttry. She listened to me as a pet mom and as a vet tech but most importantly she comes across as a very normal caring person. She did a great job and is someone I will definitely consider reaching out to again in the future for my furry kiddos needs.

This vet was amazing and thorough. My dog suffers from chronic ear infections and bad skin irritations. The vet made absolutely sure she covered all bases and gave me several options to try to come up with a solution to give my dog some relief. I would highly recommend vetster every experience I have had with this app has been positive and my dog gets the proper care she needed.
