We were worried about our dog’s behavior when we saw she was not eating and feeling lethargic for a couple days, it was good to have Dr Backus evaluate her, as we couldn’t get a physical appointment. Highly recommended.

I had an video appointment with Dr. Katrina And i couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so kind, honest, and patient. She took the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions, and listened to all of my concerns. Her advice was both realistic and compassionate. She didn’t give false hope, but she also didn’t dismiss the situation or make it feel hopeless. I truly felt like she cared...about my pet and me. Her guidance was practical, thoughtful, and reassuring. I’m very grateful for her care.
