Did you know that you can ask a vet online a question about your Bichon Frise? Your answer is fast, inexpensive and from a veterinarian.
For example, if you have an emergency situation with your Bichon on a weekend or holiday, your dog’s veterinarian most likely will not not have office hours. Especially if you don’t live near a big city.
Most vets for small animals don’t make house calls (Ever hear of a small pet veterinarian who did?).
And, while we like to think that our pet doctor is proficient, doctors don’t always agree among themselves on diagnoses or treatments.
So, it sometimes helps to get a second (or third)opinion.
Pet Care in a Pinch!
Fortunately, there is a solution! Just Answer is an online service that provides live veterinarians, 24/7, who will give veterinarian advice online.
You can ask a veterinarian a question, and in many cases you will get the answer within minutes! Almost always within a few hours (for more complicated issues).
And the answer is LIVE – you don’t just get a quick written answer, posted on some forum.
Is the service free? No, it isn’t. And I’m OK with that because often when you get advice for free—the advice is worth exactly what you paid for it. Nothing!
But, here’s the great part—it IS economical. YOU decide how much you are willing to pay for the answer to a question. That way you can decide up front what it will cost you.
Even though you are paying to ask a vet online, I’ve found that you still come out ahead. The service is economical for emergencies and also for routine dog care that doesn’t require an expensive visit to the vet.
The Advantages
- Time Saving - You avoid a trip to the vet and waiting for your pet’s appointment – saving time.
- You Save Money - You avoid the cost of a routine veterinary appointment, which is always more than I’ve had to pay for Just Answer.
- You can get advice from a pet doctor online – any time of the day or night! When you are really worried about your dog, you don’t want to wait until morning to see the vet—or worse, until Monday!
- The experts are all have credentials and have been screened. Sometimes when I visit a site on the internet with questions and answers, I wonder who the person who answers a question online REALLY is! With Just Answer, you know that when you ask a vet online a question, you ARE speaking with a vet.
- Some emergencies just can’t wait. If you don’t live near a critical care pet clinic, and you think your dog ate something poisonous or he appears to be hurt (and you don’t know why) – getting help could save your pet’s life!
Take Digital Photos
To make a diagnosis easier for an online veterinarian, take digital photos of your dog with a digital camera or phone, and be ready to email them to the online vet.
Doing this is almost as good as taking your dog to the veterinarian in person. The reason for doing this is that the online vet may see signs and symptoms that you could easily overlook. And a picture is much better than a description!
Online veterinarian services have opened up a great new option for pet owners. You can ask a vet online about your Bichon and get answers quickly—when you need them. No more risking your dog’s health because the vet isn’t in.
Just Answer is a great service to keep in mind. Your Bichon Frise Question Now.
