Treat your cat’s parasites and worms from home

Our vets regularly diagnose and treat worm infections in cats through telemedicine. Most routine parasite cases can be diagnosed or safely treated without in-person testing. And broad-spectrum dewormers treat most common worms.

Here’s what to expect:

1. You describe your cat’s symptoms and upload photos or videos.
2. The vet can often diagnose based on that. If needed, they’ll have you order one of our at-home fecal test kits for a definitive answer. You just collect a sample and mail it to the lab. 
3. Once there’s a diagnosis, the vet will prescribe the appropriate dewormer. Place your order and we’ll ship it to you.
4. Follow up with your vet anytime over video chat or messaging.

If you have multiple pets in your household, they’ll need to be treated too. Fortunately, your Dutch membership includes unlimited vet calls for up to 5 pets at no extra cost.

When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.

During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.

With Dutch, you’re never alone when it comes to your pet’s health. Whether your pet needs care or you just have a question, our compassionate and knowledgeable vets are always happy to help.

Here are some ways you can use Dutch:

Your vet call will be with veterinarian licensed in your state — no vet techs or nurses. Our vets all have years of in-person experience and have passed our rigorous hiring process. You’ll be able to message your vet questions after your call and book future calls with the same vet if you like. 

Our memberships are designed to make your pet’s care as easy and affordable as possible. Here’s how your costs will break down:

Membership: You can choose to pay the total price upfront or in 4 installments. All memberships include unlimited care for up to 5 pets at no extra cost.

Vet calls and messaging: No cost — video chat and message with vets as often as you need for free.

Medication: The price will vary depending on your pet’s needs. To keep your costs down, we offer a price-match guarantee, free standard shipping, $25 off your first product order, and 20% off your first flea & tick order.

Our vets can treat 90% of issues — but we encourage all pet parents to maintain a relationship with a local vet for things that require hands-on care. This includes: 

• Yearly exams
• Emergencies
• Issues that require physical examinations (like a wound that needs stitches or trouble breathing)
• Blood work and imaging (X-rays or ultrasounds)
• Vaccines
• Surgeries
• Procedures
• Injectable medications (if your pet needs them)

The health and safety of pets is our top priority. If one of our vets believes an in-person visit is best for your pet, they’ll refer you to a local veterinarian and advise you how to care for them until they can be seen. Our vets are also happy to provide second opinions and follow-up care after in-person vet visits.
