Start the intake Questions

What the veterinarian does

You describe your dog’s mobility, the medication and dose your dog takes now, how long it has been on it, and any vomiting, appetite or stool changes. The veterinarian reviews the case, may ask about recent bloodwork, and renews the prescription when it is appropriate.

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

Once-daily anti-inflammatory pain medication (liquid or tablet)
Anti-inflammatory pain tablet for dogs

Frequently asked questions

The veterinarian reviews your dog’s history and any recent test results you upload. If monitoring is due before a renewal, the veterinarian will tell you what is needed and where to have it done.

$49 per consultation plus tax. Medication, dispensing fees and any shipping are paid to the pharmacy you choose, at that pharmacy’s price. Telepets adds no markup.

Intakes submitted during business hours (9 AM to 7 PM ET) are reviewed the same day, most within 90 minutes. After-hours submissions are reviewed the next business day.

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.
