My cat sounded croupy and made a barking sound off and on for 36 hours. I finally reached out to Ask a Veterinarian and they told me just what to do. Bootsy is all better and I didn't have to pay for an emergency vet appointment.
7 month old puppy ate a package of sugar free gum. After talking to the vet, my concerns were all answered adequately, treatment plan discussed and I was very satisfied.
She went above and beyond to answer my question. I am completely satisfied.
The VET was very understanding and patient in our anxiety. The information we received was very helpful in narrowing the problem. We do not have an emergency vet 24 hour service in our area. So until the morning, having a vet access our furry family member thru the nite was a blessing
My precious 14-year-old male cat ended up having a urinary blockage and Dr. Butterfield was able to answer life-saving questions- which many other vets could not answer- and stressed the importance of getting my cat's urinary blockage taken care of immediately, with the correct type of surgery- when another vet had told us of a less-expensive treatment Dr. Butterfield correctly told us not to consider it, and he was absolutely right. Dr. Butterfield was very quick, very responsive, and gave us the information we needed in a way that we understood exactly what procedure my cat needed to survive. Thank you Dr. Butterfield!
It was late at night and we had a chicken in distress. I was googling for answers and lost in the sea of advice. I found ask a vet and thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did! They not only saved me a vet trip with a chicken, but gave me tips to treat the sick hen and the entire flock. The back and forth went over the span of a few days to ensure I was in good shape with all my questions asked before wrapping up. I'm grateful to have found this service!
My sweet puppy decided to take my thyroid pill for me. I freaked out and asked Google what to do, found Just Ask, filled out the questionnaire, talked to a Veterinarian Assistant who had the doctor call me and he told me my pup would be fine. Only took about 5 minutes to relieve me of my anxiety and WAY cheaper than going to an emergency vet on a Sunday night.
Called for advice, and felt listened to. My gut instinct for resolution were verified, along with a suggestion I hadnt thought of.
I had an unusual issue with my cat and the cat expert veterinarian gave me the answer I needed.
Doctor gave me great advice, was easy to understand and made my anxiety go way down. Don't hesitate to try them!
It was a good experience paul answered every question I asked and he gave me good advice
Our corgi mix swallowed an avocado pit and we were not sure what to do. I found this site and it helped us deal with the problem without having to go to the after hours vet. Our pup may not have been happy with us (he threw up like a bad night of drinking) but the pit came out and he was fine.
Definitely satisfied with the professionalism and genuine care from CVT. I will share this experience with my friends.
This was the fastest-most affordable service--my question was answered with recommended treatment by a vet without any issues
Just want to say that my experience was fantastic! Answered my question immediately and put me at ease right away! Dr. Bruce was very kind and professional. Thank you so much!
The vet who called was excellent. He fully explained what seemed to be happening and gave me guidance for monitoring my cat. I feel so much better
My dog ate something of concern and we read the ingredients to the vet and was reassured nothing was toxic and saved an emergency vet visit
Great experience with this website and veterinary experts
I have a barn cat that has gunk draining out of her ear. She had been in a scuffle a while back this part of her injury was just not healing. No way I can get her in a carrier and in a car- Ask A Vet was suggested to me by my daughter in law. I was so pleased that there was an expert that could help me!
I feel as though the vet gave a personal recommendation based on the specific issues my dog was experiencing. Highly recommended for peace of mind.
