NextImg:Visit the vet without leaving your home, thanks to Chewy

Have you ever found yourself at three in the morning, Googling “How much grass can my dog eat?” Or maybe you’ve wondered if your cat’s new obsession with staring at the wall means they’re plotting world domination? (Spoiler: they are). Worry no more, because Chewy can swoop in to save your most perplexing pet moments with their Connect with a Vet service.

Pros:

Cons:

Imagine having a friendly, knowledgeable veterinarian right at your fingertips, without leaving the comfort of your couch (or bed, no judgment). Chewy’s Connect with a Vet is an online service that lets you chat with licensed veterinarians via video or text. It’s like having a virtual pet whisperer who can decode every bark, purr, and meow right from your laptop or phone.

“Our team is made up of licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians,” stated Dr. Sara Bledsoe, DVM, CVA, CHPV, veterinarian at Chewy. “Online vet visits with our team are a fast, easy way to get answers to your pet-related questions and concerns. Virtual vet professional consults are supplementary to in-office visits.” The only con? “Our telehealth team cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions or prescribe medications for a pet.”

“There are two easy ways to connect with our licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians,” advised Dr. Bledsoe.

“Live Chat consults will connect you instantly, so you can get advice right when you need it. Use the text-based live chat to exchange messages, pictures, and videos with the veterinarian or veterinary technician. Video Consults are scheduled in advance, so you can select a date and time that works best for you. There are usually same-day appointments available, or you can schedule a video call up to 2 weeks in advance. All video consults are 20 minutes long. You’ll be able to see and talk with the online veterinarian, as well as show your pet on camera.”

In short, here’s the lowdown (easy as 1, 2, 3):

  1. Sign up: If you’re already a Chewy customer, you’re halfway there. Just log in to your account. If not, sign up — it’s quick and painless, unlike trying to get your cat into a carrier.
  2. Book a session: Schedule a video call or start a text chat. You can do it at a time that works for you — no more waiting weeks for an appointment.
  3. Chat away: Discuss your pet’s quirks and issues with a real, live veterinarian. The vets are here to help with advice, diagnoses, and even prescription refills.

“Connect with a Vet live chat is free for Chewy customers,” said Dr. Bledsoe. “The price for a single video appointment (20 minutes) is $19.99,” and you get an “unlimited number of sessions. Connect with a Vet is currently available to customers nationwide except customers residing in Alaska and Hawaii,” unfortunately.

Next time you catch your dog chewing on something questionable or your cat refuses to eat, don’t stress. With Chewy’s Connect with a Vet, expert advice is just a click away. Your pet will thank you with extra cuddles, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. It’s like having a superhero vet on speed dial — minus the cape, but full of wisdom and care.

Remember, in the world of pet parenting, there are no silly questions, only happy, healthy pets. So go ahead, Connect with a Vet, and give your furry friend the best care possible — because they deserve it, and you deserve peace of mind.
