Whether it\u2019s for a quick consult, after-hours questions, or when in-person visits aren\u2019t possible, pet telehealth has emerged as a convenient solution for pet owners who need flexible and fast access to vet care.<\/p>\n

Pet telehealth connects pet owners with veterinary professionals through online platforms like video calls, chat, or dedicated apps. This convenient setup allows pet parents to access expert advice without the need for a clinic visit, making it ideal for addressing minor concerns and after-hours questions, receiving recommendations on preventative healthcare, following up on treatment, or when in-person visits aren\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n

One key concept in pet telehealth is the veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR), which is a legally defined relationship where the veterinarian has established a familiarity with the pet and can provide specific care.1<\/sup><\/a> Every state has defined how VCPR can be established and maintained, and most do require an in-person physical examination or other ways of the veterinarian seeing or becoming acquainted with the pet.<\/p>\n

At this moment, PangoVet does not establish the VCPR and is not there to replace the in-person veterinarian, but instead provides general advice and prioritizes follow-up communications to keep both the pet owner and the vet informed about the pet’s health status and any recommended next steps. Additionally, PangoVet maintains a strong connection between pet owners and their veterinarians by having a small team of dedicated vets, allowing pet parents to request the same veterinarian for future consultations, ensuring continuity of care.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how a typical appointment process works with a platform like PangoVet:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fill Out a Quick Form and Tell PangoVet About Your Pet<\/strong>: Start by answering a few questions about your pet\u2019s health needs and the reason for your consultation. This information helps the vet prepare for your session.<\/li>\n
  2. Schedule Your Online Appointment at a Time That is Convenient For You<\/strong>: PangoVet provides a 20-minute, one-on-one video call session with an experienced vet, giving you a focused opportunity to address concerns. Bringing your pet to the video call is optional but often helpful for the vet\u2019s assessment.<\/li>\n
  3. Join the Video Call<\/strong>: At your scheduled time, join the video call to discuss your pet\u2019s signs of illness, behavior, or any issues you\u2019re noticing. The vet will offer personalized advice, discuss possible next steps, and guide you through any immediate actions.<\/li>\n
  4. Receive an Actionable Report<\/strong>: After the consultation, PangoVet sends you a follow-up report. This easy-to-read summary, prepared by experts, outlines key insights from your call, recommended next steps, and helpful tips to ensure your pet stays on track toward good health.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By fostering these relationships, PangoVet helps ensure that pet owners receive personalized care tailored to their pet’s specific needs, making telehealth a valuable tool in pet healthcare.\"PGV<\/p>\n
