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.

Our vets can provide care and prescriptions for more than 150 issues — and over 90% of cases can be treated virtually. 

The vet can diagnose your pet based on your description of their symptoms, their medical history, seeing them during your video call, and, if needed, through uploaded photos and videos. They may ask you to do a few simple checks during the call. We also offer a number of at-home lab test kits for dogs and cats.

The health and safety of pets is our top priority. In the rare case that a vet determines a pet needs to go to a local clinic, they’ll provide a referral and offer advice on how to care for them until they can be seen. 

Some things that require in-person care include emergencies, wounds that need stitches, and issues that require blood work, imaging (X-rays or ultrasounds), or surgery.

Our vets are always available for second opinions and follow-up care after in-person vet visits — so you don’t have to navigate health issues alone.

Dog lifespan varies based on breed, size, genetics, and care. Small breeds typically live longer, with many reaching 15+ years with proper care. Medium-sized dogs often live up to 13+ years, while large and giant breeds generally have shorter lifespans of 9-12 years.[1] With optimal care, nutrition, and dog longevity treatments, many dogs can exceed their breed’s average lifespan.

Small breeds generally have the greatest longevity. Chihuahuas, Toy Poodles, Jack Russell Terriers, and Daschunds frequently live 15+ years.[1] 

Regardless of breed, using proper longevity treatments for dogs can help maximize your pet’s healthy years.

Several factors contribute to dog longevity, including: 

• Regular veterinary care and early intervention for health issues
• Proper weight management and regular exercise
• High-quality nutrition tailored to your dog’s specific needs
• Dental care
• Mental stimulation and stress reduction
• Genetic factors like breed and individual genetics

The best dog diet for longevity includes high-quality protein sources, healthy fats, appropriate fiber, and limited artificial ingredients and fillers. Veterinarians recommend premium commercial foods formulated specifically for your dog’s life stage and health needs. Always consult your vet when selecting the best dog food for longevity to ensure it meets your pet’s specific nutritional requirements. 

Rapamycin is currently the most promising longevity medication for dogs. Originally developed as an immunosuppressant for organ transplants, research now shows that in small doses, Rapamycin appears to improve heart function in dogs and may delay age-related decline. 

The Dog Aging Project is conducting extensive clinical trials on this medication’s potential to extend healthy lifespan in dogs. While research is ongoing, early results suggest it may improve heart muscle function, cognitive abilities, and mobility in aging dogs.[1] As with any medication, Rapamycin should only be used under veterinary supervision as part of a comprehensive dog longevity treatment plan.
