Most pet owners would do anything for their fur babies, but taking care of your pet’s wellness doesn’t come without its challenges—especially in an emergency situation.

Looking out for the health of your pet shouldn’t be difficult. That’s the thinking behind the new iPaws app.

Whether you’re looking for general advice on medical issues, nutrition, or vaccinations, the iPaws service professionals are there for you via the convenience of a phone call or a video chat. Better still, iPaws is free to download from the App Store, so users can have easy access to veterinary professionals right from their pockets.

Below, we outline a few more of the app’s advantages.

Qualified veterinarians—and pet lovers

As any pet owner knows, pets seem to sense when it’s time to go to the doctor’s office. They end up hiding or making it nearly impossible to get them into the car. But with iPaws, you don’t need to worry about that anymore!

iPaws’ live link is set up for pet owners seeking expert advice from a B.C.-licensed veterinarian, without the stress and inconvenience of transporting pets to local clinics. That’s because the “Telehealth for Pets” function lets users connect at any time in minutes and talk directly to a qualified professional. Instead of Googling and getting misleading information, you’ll be connected to a qualified veterinarian to answer your concerns.

iPaws screens all the pet care professionals that join the network, so that they can give your pet the quality of care they deserve to live a healthy and happy life.

But the iPaws vets don’t just have years of clinical experience, they’re also pet owners and pet lovers, too, so you can rest assured that they will care for your fur baby like their own.

24/7 access when you need it

The iPaws professionals know how much you love your pet, and sometimes things can happen out of the blue and you may need access to a professional right away. iPaws offers  24/7 coverage so that you can get the quality care your pet needs, when you need it.

Pet owners can rest assured that with iPaws, should disaster strike, they have access to instant care for their pet’s wellness that is easy, flexible, and transparent.

Full cost transparency

In addition to peace of mind, iPaws users are provided with clear pricing up front, so that they don’t have to worry about receiving an unexpected bill after consultation. This phone service means that a pet owner can speak to a vet before making an unnecessary and potentially expensive trip to an emergency hospital.
