Dr. Childress was very professional and caring. I appreciated him and will follow his advice.
After she and I discussed my dogs problems, it was confirmed that an appointment was needed at a vet, in person.
Dr Porter did a great job. Personable and helpful.
This vet gave me some good things to try and get the cat back to using her box.
Quite helpful and easy to follow his instructions and expertise from education and personal hands on care with numerous kittens.
Our dog Beau developed some red bumps on his inner thigh. We are currently traveling and do not know vets in this area. Dr. Porter was amazing in diagnosing, prescribing, and walking us through everything we need to do for our fur baby. This is a wonderful service online!
Contacted regarding application of dog dosage of front line to cat. Answer was to wash the cat at the application site
I found out my dog has mild GI upset. This saved me an emergency vet visit. The instructions for when to take the dog to the vet were clear
Questions were answered and was helpful. Addressed the concerns that I have with pain and nonsurgical treatment if possible. Gave ideas of how I can help my pet.
My 2 yr old dog woke me up in the middle of the night throwing up multiple times and Ask A Veterinarian responded quickly to my online request to provide helpful advice needed to deal with this new problem I was experiencing with him.
Contact the site and was able to speak on the phone with a vet who listened to my concerns and advices me on what was going on with my kitty and directed me in the direction to go so my kitty got the care he needed.
Bethany L was such an incredible person, she detailed explained everything about my cats disease and a variery of recommendations and tips for her care. Provided with so many options, brands for food and made very clear everything that I needed to make my senior cat feel comfortable.
My dog was limping, then totally off her foot. Dr advised to take her to vet but give her small dose aspirin in the meantime. It helped a lot to ease my anxiety and seemed to help my dog with pain.
Dr Andy addressed my cat's issues with a believable diagnosis and what steps to take next. I appreciated his frankness when it came to an unwelcome possibility if the original diagnosis proved incorrect from the results of an abdominal ultrasound. Thank you for being of service!
My English Bulldog was throwing up several times which was not a normal occurrence for him. The vet advised me on what to do and my dog recovered!
A very pleasant experience! They stayed with me till she was ok!
Dr. Mike was awesome and very thorough with answering all of my questions and making the necessary recommendations!
Looking for an option best for my dog rather than getting a shot right away.
They asked for $5 to talk to doctor and ended up charging me for a membership I don't want took $100 I need my money back
Great advise, everyone was very helpful. I very concerned for my dog. The info that was given to me, helped me out alot. Gave me peace of mind. Thank you all so very much.
