Good experience. Very helpful especially late at night.
Information clear - very friendly, patient and understanding. Directions reasonable and verified as appropriate by Coco's regular vet.
My call and concerns were triaged immediately and the Doctor ( Dr. Davis) called me promptly. He answered all my concerns, educated me and made me feel comfortable about the care for my fur baby.
The vet was very knowledgeable and gave clear instructions.
The person we was sent to was for humans not animals
Dr Steve was awesome, patient, and definitely helped alleviate my dog's pain. Best of all, the price was a lot lower than seeing an emergency vet or even a regular vet. Plus, it was super convenient to leave my dog in his comfortable place at home, instead of trying to force him into the car and to the vet's office, where he gets super anxious with all the other pets in the waiting room. Dr. Steve nailed the problem and eased my concerns. It would have been a waste of money to go to the vet. We followed Dr Steve's directions, and in less than a few hours, we noticed a big improvement. I would definitely do this again.
Dr Porter was very supportive and explained why the treatment was advised
Benji got sick and vomitted it was very dark brown. He was fine all day so this was completely out of character. I gave the information and chatted online and was very satisfied. I kind of knew to just keep an eye on him but having such a quick and caring response from a veterinarian was wonderful. Taking your dog to the doctor sometimes have you wait hours for results this was minutes.
My little papillon quit eating 2.5 days ago. No vomiting, or diarrhea. Since this is Labor Day weekend, and no open vet office near me, I was looking for reasons for sudden stop of eating.
Thank you Dr. Ivana for your support with Moose. I am going to make an appointment with his veterinarian for a complete check up.
Very helpful and nice and glad I called even though it didn't work out and we lost or pug.
I was very pleased with talking to Dr. Sara she made it so simple and now hopefully have a vet for Ebony
Dr. NaiKesha was very reassuring and empathetic. I felt much better after speaking with her. Many thanks to Dr. NaiKesha.
My 6 lb dog ate one of my OTC medications and I called Ask A Veterinarian and got a quick response. The vet called me promptly and answered all my questions. Luckily there was no harm to my dog. What a relief! Being able to talk to a vet at that hour of the night really helped put my mind at ease.
Was feeling very overwhelmed with my dog's diarrhea this morning. It's been an issue with him since adopting him. The vet reassured me that my steps in handling this were heading in the right direction, with continued chicken, rice, pumpkin combo.
The ease of reaching a vet professional,. Was comforting.
The first vet never responded after the first contact, after an hour switched to Dr. E and he was very helpful.
I have a 10 week old Boston Terrier puppy who fell in the pool. She was lethargic and had a lot of mucus coming out of her mouth. Everyone I talk to told me that she wasn't going to make it and I needed to take her to one of these very expensive 24 seven emergency vets and even when talking to them they were not very encouraging at all but after 10 hours she was still hanging in there I spoke to 1 vet and I guess I lost conversation with him because there was no one response the second that I got was L Barnes, this woman would let me tell you if he was a true God said, she told me exactly what was going on exactly what I needed to know and the fact that her gums were still Pink and she stopped producing all the mucus that was pretty much out of the danger zone so reverse for the next 6 to 7 hours and then out of nowhere she sparked up got the Hall. It is now two days later and you would never done this ever happened. These are happy little faithful Selph again.
I appreciate all the help Dr Tiffany gave me regarding my chicken. She was kind and thoughtful and clear with my options. Thank you.
My golden retriever pup is acting off, and I was not sure if I should spend the time, energy, and money on an emergency vet visit or not. I found Ask A Veterinarian on Google, and really appreciate being able to talk to a Dr. online for a small fee without having to leave my house. Dr. Tiffany gave me some great insight and advice, and I am feeling better about my pup's immediate situation now.
