Ask a vet online

Ask a vet online, whenever something seems off.

Ask A Vet gives you three ways to get veterinary guidance online: ask the AI Vet, chat with a licensed vet, or book a video consultation in the app. Not sure it needs a vet yet? Start with a free tool. Ask A Vet is not an emergency service: if your pet is in danger, go to a vet now.

How it works

Three ways to talk to a vet online.

Everything below happens in the Ask A Vet app. Start with the AI Vet, move to a licensed vet when you need one, or book a call.

What it cannot do

Ask A Vet is not an emergency service.

AI guidance does not replace veterinary care. For emergencies, seek immediate in-person veterinary care.

No. The app is there to support you, not replace hands-on veterinary care where an in-person exam, testing, or treatment is needed. It helps you make better decisions faster and can also help you know when a clinic visit should not wait.

Questions

Can I talk to a vet online? The short answers.

The questions people ask before they open the app, answered from the FAQ, the app page and the plans page.

Can I ask real veterinarians questions through the app?

Yes. The app is designed to give you access to veterinary guidance from qualified professionals, so you can get clearer direction when something feels off, when you are unsure what to do next, or when you want a better understanding of your options.

Is the app only for emergencies?

No. In fact, a lot of the value is in everyday use. It is helpful for small concerns, behaviour changes, ongoing monitoring, medication questions, recovery tracking, and general decision-making. It is there for the “Is this normal?” moments as much as the more urgent ones.

Does the app replace my normal vet?

No. The app is there to support you, not replace hands-on veterinary care where an in-person exam, testing, or treatment is needed. It helps you make better decisions faster and can also help you know when a clinic visit should not wait.

Can I use the app before going to the vet?

Yes. Many people use it when they are trying to work out whether they need to book in, monitor at home, or go straight to an emergency clinic. It helps give context, next steps, and better preparation.

How do video consultations work?

Choose a vet, appointment time and a 15- or 30-minute video or audio call. Calls take place through Google Meet and are automatically recorded. You pay per call, with discounted rates for Premium members.

Can Ask A Vet help in an emergency?

For emergencies, seek immediate in-person veterinary care. AI guidance, chat and booked calls cannot replace emergency treatment.

What do I get on the Free plan?

Every account starts on the Free plan. It carries unlimited pet profiles, unlimited Smart ID tags for each animal, and telehealth video calls at the regular per-call rate. GPS tracking, family sharing and the app's vet chats, pet documents and health tracking are not included.

Are telehealth video calls included in a plan?

No plan includes telehealth consults — every call is paid per call. Premium is the only plan with a discounted per-call rate. The price for each call length is shown in the app before you book, so you always see what a consult costs first.
