The 3 Types of Vets Every Pet Owner Needs

As a pet owner, you want to make sure your pet is well taken care of if they ever have health concerns, whether those concerns are mild or serious. To do that, it’s a good idea to have connections to three different types of veterinarians. If you do, you’ll be able to manage every type of pet health concern. Here are the three types of vets you need as a pet owner, as well as how to find each type of vet for your pet.

1. An In-Clinic Vet for Hands-On Diagnostics and Intervention

Although vet telehealth is extremely effective at helping with a variety of pet problems, there may be situations where you need hands-on intervention and diagnostics that a telehealth provider may not be able to help you with. That’s why you should make sure you have a relationship with a local veterinary clinic for these concerns.

2. A Telehealth Vet for Day-to-Day Problems and Condition Management

Telehealth is a great option to get regular veterinary care for your pets. Often, telehealth is one of the best ways for you to get help with your pet’s health without having to visit an in-person clinic. A telehealth veterinarian is qualified and knowledgeable in helping pet owners with their concerns about their pets from the comfort of your home.

One of the best ways to find a telehealth vet is to go through a service like Vetster. Here, you can find veterinary help online. Book your appointment and connect with a telehealth veterinarian about any concerns you may have, such as skin issues, gastrointestinal concerns, dietary problems, puppy and kitten problems, and general pet health and wellness.

If you are experiencing an urgent situation with your pet but aren’t sure about waiting for your regular vet clinic to open, or if you should be rushing to an urgent care clinic. A pet telehealth appointment can help to answer those questions for you and work with you to decide your best course of action.

3. An Emergency Vet for Urgent Concerns

The first type of pet you need is an emergency vet for any urgent issues. This might be, for example, if your pet is hit by a car, swallows a potentially dangerous item, or has an accident or emergency that requires immediate care. Emergency vets are not always ones that you need to have an existing relationship with. They are urgent care clinics that you can take your pet to when you have an immediate issue or emergency.

Emergency veterinary services are often available 24/7. Many emergency hospitals may charge an up-front appointment fee which can range from $200-$500 and may also require a minimum 50% deposit on any estimate provided. Research your local area to find an urgent care vet clinic that is able to examine and care for your pet. To be as well prepared as possible, consider doing your research and writing down the phone number and address and also put this info into your smartphone for quick access. You should have a list of three or four emergency veterinary locations near you so you know where to go if you have an emergency.

Being Prepared

Every pet owner needs to make sure they’re connected with an emergency hospital, a telehealth veterinarian, and a local clinic. These all have different places in your pet’s life, and it’s important to have a relationship with all three. That way, no matter what your pet goes through, you’ll be able to keep them happy, healthy and feeling great.
