Telemedicine for Pets With Skin & Ear Conditions is Now Available!

(Only for BC Residents)

VetDERM Clinic is dedicated to providing continued guidance and support for dermatological and ear care for pets. Our online consultations will help you and your family in several ways, including determining your pet’s level of itchiness, how best to control your pet’s itch for comfort, options to prevent ongoing discomfort, and dietary advice. Our veterinary dermatologist can also help you understand the cause as well as severity of your pet’s ear and skin conditions, including treatment options to manage the condition at home until an in-person evaluation can be performed.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Online Consultation

In order to ensure your pet receives the best possible care, several documents are required on your part to submit to us before your dermatology telemedicine session can take place. Great detail and a thorough examination of your pet’s case is essential in determining the cause of your and your pet’s concerns, including itch, discomfort, hair loss, ear infections, etc. We can then determine how best we can treat and manage the concerns together.

The more details you can provide to us prior to your online vet appointment, the more successful the outcome will be for your pet’s health in the long term!

Please note:

  • The veterinarian may only provide advice via telemedicine consultation that is possible without a physical exam.
  • There are inherent privacy and security risks involved in accessing veterinary care via telemedicine consultations.
  • In rare instances security protocols could fail, causing a breach of personal or medical information.
  • In rare cases the lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or judgment errors.
