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.
Your new puppy has a weird rash and your vet’s next opening is in 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.
How it works
1
Tell us what’s going on
Pick a category, answer a few quick questions, and upload a photo if it helps.
2
Talk to a vet
A licensed veterinarian triages your pet’s situation via video or chat — assessing urgency, ruling out emergencies, and guiding your next step. Available 24/7.
No subscription. No membership.
One flat fee of $35 per tele-triage visit. That's it.
3
Get a clear plan
Leave with a specific recommendation—home care instructions, referral guidance, or a summary to share with your vet.
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.
New pet guidance
Just brought home a puppy or kitten? Get advice on nutrition, behavior, vaccinations, and what to watch for in those first weeks.
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 “is this an emergency?” moment. Your vet is the hero. We’re the sidekick.
