Pet Ownership Is Booming. Vets Are Overbooked and Overwhelmed. Pet Telehealth is Helping.
It has been well documented that veterinarian suicide rates are nearly 3 times higher than the general public, and as many as 1 in 6 have contemplated suicide, per the American Medical Veterinary Association (AMVA). And with pet ownership skyrocketing to over 12 million new households since the pandemic began, veterinarians are more overworked than ever before.
Some vet offices have seen as much as a 200% increase in new client appointments, leaving them backlogged for weeks, if not months at a time. Same-day appointments are nearly non-existent, and emergency clinic wait times average three to seven hours just to walk through the door. It’s nearly impossible for pet owners to get help when they need it.
“This morning, within 60 minutes of opening, I announced to my staff we are at 125 percent capacity. No more today.”
Eric Erwin, Newport Mesa Animal Hospital
Fortunately for pet owners and veterinarians alike, the up and coming pet telehealth industry is providing much needed relief. Pawp, the industry’s leading digital pet clinic (that Forbes, NY Post, and Newsweek have been raving about), estimates they’ve experienced a +3,000% increase in consultations this past year alone, taking the stress off of vets while saving pet owners time and thousands of dollars from unnecessary appointments.

The Scoop About On-Demand Care For Pet Parents
Similar to human telehealth, Pawp is an on-demand, digital vet clinic for pets. Their experienced vets and vet techs are experts on everything from general pet health to behavior and nutrition, and they are available for text or video consultations 24 hours a day.
Pawp is the first line of defense for anyone who wants a vet’s opinion — their team can help determine whether or not an in-person vet visit is required or if it can be resolved at home. This not only saves pet owners time and money by allowing them to skip unnecessary vet visits, but also provides much-needed peace of mind.
How Pet Owners Can Consult With a Vet for Free, Digitally
Because Pawp is on a mission to make sure that every pet owner has access to top-notch vet care, they are now offering a free 7-day trial which allows users to consult with a vet online instantly. This includes unlimited access to their team of experienced vets and vet techs who are available at any time of day or night. It takes just a few minutes to sign up and speak with a vet.
After the 7-day trial, the Pawp membership is only $24 a month, which includes a yearly emergency fund that provides a $3,000 safety net for emergency vet bills, and covers up to six cats or dogs under the same membership (at no additional cost).
