Absolutely, your question is a common one. Pet owners often reach out to veterinarians for guidance when they are unsure about how serious their pet's condition might be. Your concerns are valid, and it's always better to ask and ensure your furry friend is healthy and happy.
Pets can't tell us what's wrong; they rely on us to notice when something isn't quite right. Whether it's a change in appetite, behavior, or physical symptoms, reaching out to a vet can help rule out any underlying issues.
If you're observing something specific about your pet that seems off, monitor them closely for a day or two. Keep an eye out for signs such as changes in eating, drinking, sleeping patterns, or unusual behaviors. If your pet has vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, or difficulty breathing, or if they’re more lethargic than usual, these could indicate something more serious that may require professional attention.
At-home care includes ensuring your pet is in a comfortable environment, has access to fresh water, and is offered their regular food. However, if symptoms persist, it might be time for a check-in with a vet.
If you're feeling uncertain, booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians through the Dial A Vet website can provide you with peace of mind and ensure your pet receives the appropriate care. We're here to help!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
