If you've ever fallen down a Google rabbit hole trying to figure out if your pet's actions are normal, you should give a virtual vet visit a try.With veterinary telemedicine, you talk to a vet over text, phone, or video chat to get real-time advice on what you should do for your pet. It's not a replacement for regular in-office visits, and most vets on telemedicine services can't diagnose or prescribe medications for pets they haven't previously seen in person, but they are able to give helpful advice. "I think it makes them feel like an advocate for their pet, and that way they can see what my thought process is as well."Best for: Treating a chronic condition; regular video chatsAvailable on: WebCost: $19 a monthIf you need prescription medications for your pet, Dutch is one of the first telemedicine services we've seen that can help. But when you want a quick chat, it's a nice option.Best for: Emergencies—when you need answers to general questions instantlyAvailable on: WebCost: $24 a monthA Pawp subscription includes instant chats, as most of these services do, but it also has a huge perk: a $3,000 emergency fund. You can also chat with a Pet Buff, pet owners employed by Blue Buffalo (these are not vets) who can answer on-demand questions about general care or if you want more info on the brand's ingredients and products. There's even a cute meme generator if you want to share funny pics of your pet to your office Slack, and a timeline to keep track of vet appointments, history, or milestones.If you use Blue Buffalo products already, you can redeem points—earned by doing basic things in the app like setting up a pet profile or speaking with a Pet Buff—for treats and food. I do not feed my cats Blue Buffalo food, and we still like this free service.) Best for: People with vets in-network, or for immediate concernsAvailable on: iOS, AndroidCost: Varies by practiceVirtuwoof, like TeleVet, connects you to your current vet. Not only does it connect you to your pet's vet via video chat, but it also offers an easy way to keep track of your pet's medications, appointments, and other needs.All of your pet's information is in one spot, including name and contact information for vets, preferred emergency animal hospitals, and groomers. While you will need to have a vet in-network to make virtual appointments, you can use the service as a free medical dashboard for your pet's records.Best for: Emergencies—when you need answers to general questions instantlyAvailable on: iOS, AndroidCost: $20 or $36 a month options availableYou can talk to the vet your pet already sees if they're a part of AirVet's network, or you can talk to any of the licensed vets listed in the app.
