Amazing and Quick
September 27, 2026

Dr. Barnes and Pearl were quick with their responses and asked all the right questions. They were able to answer my questions and help me find a way to make my baby better until we can get in to see our usual vet.

Efficient and caring
September 26, 2026

A very clean well lighted place and very organized. A white board informed you where your dog was in the queue and approximate time to wait. I saw a vet tech who was kind and well informed. She informed me that she had talked to a vet who thought that the poison in a pellet was quite small and Cody weighed 53 pounds and he was Okay. Cody's vitals were checked and he was fine.

Veterinarian help
September 26, 2026

It was late at night and I needed some advice on our dog who was stressed and was excessively licking and panting and and coughing. I had to wait for about 15 minutes before the veterinarian was able to answer my call. Dr. Park is who helped me. After giving some details to her she made a couple of suggestions for me to try. She was very patient, listened carefully and was very kind and empathetic. She repeated instructions and made sure I was comfortable in proceeding.

This was reassuring. Our dog woke up swallowing several times. We were ready to take him to the vet, but wanted to make sure as it is the middle of the night.

A thorough and very useful answer
September 24, 2026

Mulligan our 3 yr old Bernedoodle ate my dinner off the counter, which included beef, peppers, and ONION. No symptoms so far, but it wasn't long ago that it happened. Now at least I know what to do should any problems result from his misbehavior. FYI It cost $66

Quick and caring advice

Quick and professional. Within ten minutes of going online I had a veterinarian contact me and assess my cats condition. They followed up and provided step by step what I needed to do and look for in relation to my cat's condition.

Very Responsive & Helpful
September 24, 2026

Our puppy accidentally got ahold of and ate a chicken bone. Our normal vet was not open so we searched the internet and ran across Ask a Veterinarian. The doctor got back to us quickly and told us exactly what to do and what to watch for. The vet even told us to contact her back if we had any additional questions. Great resource! Thank you!

The dog ate a piece of chocolate cake
September 23, 2026

I just explained the situation and then answered some questions. Then I was connected with Dr. B who went thru the information, asked a few more questions and was able to put my mind at ease. I appreciate how quick but thorough the process was.

Tango's beak
September 23, 2026

We noticed that our Parrot, Tango, hurt his beak somehow and was bleeding a bit. We called "Ask a Veterinarian" for advice and it took a bit of time because it was a Saturday night at 8pm. We have been communicating with Dr. Sara and gotten great advice and even great follow up throughout Sunday.

Warm, fast, and informed
September 23, 2026

We came home to a potential fish-oil overdose and our vet is closed. This veterinarian supported us via the chat option but I feel like I was talking to our regular vet. Grateful this service exists and knowledgeable clinicians are available. Thank you!

This is a great resource, especially on the weekend
September 23, 2026

I gave a succinct description of my dog's problem and was quickly connected to a very knowledgeable vet who asked important questions and told me to see my vet to be sure there were no problems he could identify without seeing my dog. It was on a Sunday so I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow.
