Opening up pet's access to healthcare. It’s about time!

For years, the option to find healthcare for your furry loved ones after hours was a nightmare for owners and animals alike. From increased costs, wait times and simply finding care, it could often be very scary and unnerving for pet owners when their animal needed help outside of regular animal clinic hours. But Vetster is changing the face of the game.

Vetster is a quick, virtual way to keep your dog healthy without leaving your home

The last year certainly has been unprecedented! I hear complaints daily from fellow dog moms about their experiences trying to manage their pet’s health. This is particularly true when they talk about access to vet care. Many are unable to get an appointment with their vet or had to wait weeks to get an appointment only to find out they were not allowed to go inside with their pets resulting in additional frustration and stress.

It is a relationship that is established mutually when a veterinarian and client decide that a pet will be treated. This includes the veterinarian taking responsibility for providing the pet medical care; taking/keeping medical records, giving appropriate advice and treatment options, and diagnosing and prescribing medicine.
