Thanks for your question! I know how worrying it can be when you're unsure if your pet needs to see a vet. Let's see if I can help clarify things a bit.
First, consider what symptoms your pet is showing. Common signs that warrant a trip to the vet include difficulty breathing, sudden changes in behavior, loss of consciousness, vomiting or diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours, or any injury that could be serious. If your pet is showing any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to seek veterinary care immediately.
For less urgent concerns, like mild limping, eating less food for a day, or if your pet seems a bit more tired than usual, you can often monitor them at home. Make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and offer plenty of fresh water. Keep an eye on their symptoms—if they don't improve after a day or two, or if they seem to be getting worse, it's best to consult a vet.
If you're ever in doubt, booking a video consult with Dial A Vet can provide peace of mind. A vet can assess your pet's situation and guide you on the best course of action.
Remember, you're not alone in this, and reaching out for advice is always a great step!

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
