FAQ
A dog's anxiety may be considered an emergency when symptoms progress beyond typical anxious behaviours and include signs of serious physical distress. Seek immediate in-person veterinary care if your dog is experiencing labored or rapid breathing, pale gums, vomiting, weakness, collapse, or seizures, especially during or after an episode of extreme distress. While behaviours such as panting, trembling, hiding, vocalizing, or escape attempts can be associated with anxiety, persistent or worsening symptoms may indicate a more serious medical issue.
An online vet visit for dog anxiety concerns begins by booking a virtual appointment through Vetster. During the consultation, a licensed veterinarian will discuss your dog's symptoms, behaviour patterns, and medical history before recommending appropriate next steps. Your veterinarian can help develop a personalized plan to support your dog's emotional well-being and ongoing care.
Following up with the same Vetster veterinarian for your dog's anxiety treatment is often beneficial because it helps maintain continuity of care. The same veterinarian can monitor your dog's progress, evaluate how well treatments are working, and make adjustments when needed. You can book future appointments based on that veterinarian's availability.
Prescription anxiety medication may be available through Vetster when a veterinarian determines it is appropriate for your dog's condition. Prescription availability depends on the veterinarian's clinical judgment and may vary based on your location and applicable regulations. Your veterinarian will discuss suitable treatment options based on your dog's individual needs.
Ordering anxiety medications through Vetster is simple once your veterinarian has issued a prescription. Where available, medications can be ordered directly through VetsterRx for convenient home delivery. Depending on your location and prescription details, you may also be able to fill the prescription through a pet pharmacy of your choice.
