Virtual Care allows more access to better veterinary care

In the past these owners would have to postpone care until their next paycheck or we would provide pro bono telemedicine via a telephone conversation.  If the owner could describe the problem well enough and I was comfortable the condition could be safely treated,  I would provide therapy without a trip to the clinic for a physical exam to help keep expense down.      

Now with virtual care we have another, better option.  Clients can get their veterinarian’s advice for about half the price of a physical exam and I can practice much better telemedicine.  I get a much better idea of the problem because I don’t have to rely on just a verbal description over the phone.  Clients send me pictures, movies and can video chat if needed.  

Virtual care is a solution that allows me to be compensated for my professional services but more importantly provides better care to the pets of owners who have financial constraints.
