โVet chatโ is a common term for talking to a vet online โ whether by text, video, or audio. While some platforms offer text-only chat services, Dial A Vet connects you with real vets via video consult, so we can actually see your pet and provide better, safer advice.

โญ What Pet Owners Are Saying:
โ
โA 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."
โI was initially hesitant about booking an online vet appointment, but with it being a long weekend โ and my puppy being especially reactive during in-person vet visits โ I decided to give it a try. My girl had an infected skin fold and I needed advice on what I could do at home to help her heal.
The experience was fantastic. Samantha was knowledgeable, honest, and so easy to talk to. Within 10 minutes, we had a clear plan and recommendations for over-the-counter treatments I could use. I even had a question after the appointment so I sent an email through and had a response in only a few minutes!
Best of all, my pup is already looking so much better!I could not recommend this service highly enough, especially for anyone with reactive or anxious dogs who find vet visits stressful. It made all the difference for us!"
