Your pet ate something weird.
It’s 11pm. Now what?
Talk to a licensed vet in minutes. Get clear answers, real guidance, and a plan—whether that’s “you’re fine” or “here’s what to tell your vet tomorrow.” No subscription. No membership. Just help when you need it.
Sound familiar?
It’s 11pm and your dog just ate something off the counter.
Your cat’s been vomiting and Google says it’s either nothing or fatal.
You need a medication refill but your vet can’t see you for two weeks.
You’re not sure if this warrants a $300 ER visit.
You shouldn’t have to choose between panic-Googling and the emergency room.

What we help with
Toxicity concerns
Your pet ate something they shouldn’t have. We’ll tell you if it’s dangerous and what to do.
Triage
Not sure if it’s serious? We’ll help you figure out whether you need to go in.
Urgent virtual care
Vomiting, diarrhea, skin issues, eye problems—a vet can help remotely.
Medication refills
You know what your pet needs. We’ll get the prescription handled without a clinic visit.
Behavioral questions
New behavior that’s worrying you? Get a vet’s perspective before it becomes a bigger issue.
Post-visit follow-up
Already saw your vet but something’s changed? Check in with us before your next appointment.
We’re not the emergency room. If your pet is having a seizure, can’t breathe, or is bleeding heavily, call your emergency vet immediately.
The Sidekick difference
We’re not here to replace your vet. We’re here for the moments in between—the triage, the late-night worry, the quick refill. Your vet is the hero. We’re the sidekick.
Other platforms want to be your vet.
We want to be your vet’s backup.
Monthly subscription you forget about.
No subscription. Pay when you need us.
Wait days for an appointment.
Connect in minutes, 24/7.
Your visit disappears after it ends.
Every visit generates a summary you can share with your vet.
