Online vet care in Ontario for cats

Kidney disease support renewal for cats

Renew kidney support for your cat with chronic kidney disease: prescription kidney diet authorization, fluid supplies and supportive medications, reviewed by a veterinarian licensed by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario.

  • $49 per consultation, reviewed the same day
  • No video call
  • Prescription sent to the pharmacy you choose

What the veterinarian does

You enter your cat’s diagnosis, current diet, fluids and medications, and upload recent bloodwork if you have it. The veterinarian reviews the case, asks any questions by secure messaging, and, when it is appropriate, renews the items your cat needs.

This consultation is for pets that a veterinarian has already diagnosed and started on treatment. If your pet has never been treated for this, the veterinarian will tell you whether an online assessment is enough or whether an in-person examination is needed first. If it cannot be handled online, the fee is refunded.

What can be prescribed

  • Prescription kidney diet approval for your cat
  • Supplies for giving fluids under the skin at home
  • Supportive medications and supplements (nausea control, phosphorus control, potassium, vitamin B12)

The veterinarian chooses what is appropriate for your pet. Telepets veterinarians do not prescribe controlled substances. Medication is paid to the pharmacy at its price; Telepets adds no markup.

No. You answer the intake on your own schedule, then a veterinarian messages you. The veterinarian may ask for photos or a short video clip of your pet, so it helps to have your pet nearby.

You choose. Pick up at a nearby pharmacy that carries the medication, or use a partner online pharmacy that delivers to your door. You pay the pharmacy directly.

If we cannot treat your pet online, the consultation fee is refunded. The veterinarian will tell you when your pet needs to be seen in person. Telepets is for non-urgent care; an emergency needs an emergency veterinary hospital.
