Social networks have invaded everything. Nowadays, we can do anything with them. They are also useful for the health of our dogs. But in what way? Through  online veterinary consultations, a novelty that will help you keep your puppy healthy.

As you already know, My Pets cares about your pet. So we don’t want to let this opportunity to talk about it pass by. Would you like to know more about this subject?

What are online veterinary consultations for?

It’s no secret that when we get sick, even before we go to the doctor, the first thing we do is go online to see what might be happening to us.

So,  through online veterinary consultations, you will now be able to do the same with your dog. But the big question is: what kind of queries can be done through this medium? These are some of them:

• Vaccination. Don’t worry if you have a dog and you’re not sure what vaccinations he should have, as online veterinary consultations will give you all the necessary information. Also, don’t worry if you don’t remember the vaccinations your dog should have as an adult, as everything will be said in online consultations.
• Deworming. If you think your dog has a parasite, or if you simply want to prevent it, at these appointments they will tell you exactly what to do. They will take into account your size, age, weight and where you live.
• Behavior. Some undesirable behaviors in dogs can be easily resolved at home. Online consultations can help you. But, of course, if he is in serious behavior, you should consult a professional.
• Food. Any questions about the amount of food that should be offered to the dog, the type of food most suitable for him or other concerns will be answered in consultations.

• General doubts. Any questions you have regarding your pet, whether you want to travel with it, legal issues, etc., can be resolved over the Internet.
• Reinforcement of a medical opinion. If your pet has become ill and you have taken him to the veterinarian, but would like more information about his diagnosis or other issues, ask at our online veterinary consultations.
• Medicine. Sometimes you will also be able to get information about some kind of home remedy to lower a fever, for example. Also, you can ask simple questions that don’t need immediate vet assistance.

Remember that, in cases of illness, online veterinary consultations will only serve as a temporary help. The veterinarian will always be the professional who should examine your pet. If the online consultation cannot solve your problem, they will refer the consultation to that professional.

Where can I find veterinary consultations online?

There are many pages that offer this service. One of the best known internationally and which works very well is Barbiku.

Barbiku is not a forum as many people think. It is a service that contacts professional veterinarians to resolve their doubts. However, they will not be able to diagnose or prescribe anything. Whenever they feel that something cannot be fixed for them, they will tell you to see a veterinarian.

Another option is some Veterinary Colleges. Normally, on its pages, there is a chat or e-mail option where you can write your doubts and receive answers.

However, as we said before,  this is just for consultation and to resolve some queries. In case of illness, it will be necessary for a veterinarian to examine your dog. Therefore, this system will not be useful under certain circumstances.

You might be wondering if it’s trustworthy. It is, since, as we have said in this article, these are professionals, veterinarians who, through online veterinary consultation sites, will clear your doubts, of course, depending on the case in question.

And, let’s not forget that you can always visit our page, My Animals, because here we will give you information and advice for anything you need.
