What the veterinarian does

You describe your pet’s itching, the medication your pet takes now and how well it is working, and add photos of the skin if you have them. The veterinarian reviews the case, messages you with any questions, and, when it is appropriate, sends the renewed prescription to the pharmacy you choose.

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

Daily anti-itch tablet for allergic itching
Daily allergy medication: capsules for dogs or an oral liquid for cats

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.

Frequently asked questions

Start the intake and describe the problem. The veterinarian will tell you whether an online assessment is enough or whether your pet needs a physical examination first. If it cannot be handled online, the fee is refunded.

$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.
