Getting your pet to the vet can be an ordeal. Not only is it stressful for your pet, but you also have to work an appointment around your busy schedule, including travel time, then make sure to get there on time. With the help of MyTeleBenefits, you can eliminate the parts of getting your pet to the doctor with the help of virtual vet appointments. If you’ve never had a virtual appointment for your pet, we have five ways that your pet will benefit.

Convenient

Setting a virtual vet appointment eliminates all the difficult parts of getting your pet to the vet. Whether you’re driving 45 minutes to the vet or down the street, travel time with a pet can be difficult. The drive with a pet that doesn’t get in the vehicle can be stressful and takes extra time out of your day. By seeing a pet with telehealth services, you can cut down on the amount of time that it takes to complete the visit. This means that you won’t have to take as much time off work or account for as much time in your busy schedule.

Low stress

Sitting in a waiting room is not only stressful, but it’s also a good place to spread germs. You can skip the waiting room portion of your vet visit by seeing a telehealth vet. Additionally, not all pets are social, and being around others in a busy waiting room can be a stressful situation. You can help your pet be more comfortable at home in a familiar setting by keeping it at home with a virtual appointment.

Quality care

Are there times that an office visit is necessary? Yes, there are because vaccinations or procedures can’t be performed virtually. However, a virtual appointment provides enough interaction with your vet that they can often get an understanding of your pet’s health and any symptoms it might be dealing with. In addition to performing a regular assessment, your vet can prescribe new medications or refills after a virtual appointment.

Accessible

For some reason, it seems like illness strikes in the middle of the night. It’s not unusual for you to be sleeping when suddenly you hear your dog or cat get sick. Unfortunately, getting to a 24-hour vet hospital might require you to drive across town to get your pet taken care of. You can get your pet the care it needs even in the middle of the night with the help of telehealth vet care. Virtual vet appointments are easily available 24/7 and make it easier for those who might live far away from a clinic to get their pet the care it needs.

Affordable

When you take your pet to the vet clinic, you’re paying for more than the checkup and additional services you’re getting administered. Costs have to cover supplies, cleaning, building maintenance and operation, and much more. These overhead costs can add up and make your visit to the vet pricey quickly. What’s more, you’ll have to pay for these costs each time you take your pet in. With our membership service, you pay a flat rate each month to have a vet ready for you when you need one.
