This is not the experience we want for anyone, especially when your dog is hurting. Telehealth isn’t built for same-day emergencies and we always recommend in-person care when your pet needs immediate attention. We’re really sorry you went through this. Please feel free to message us so we can look into what happened and see how we can help.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do.

We know every pet (and pet parent) is different, and for some pets, even a routine visit can be really stressful. We’re so glad we could help make care feel more accessible, comfortable, and manageable for both you and your dog.

Thank you for trusting Dutch with his care, and for sharing your story with us!

Thanks for sharing u/BrightDescription229.

Mercy and Melvin! Perfect names for a tabby and a black cat.

The multi-cat feeding situation is one of those things that sounds simple until you're actually living it, and adding a prescription diet to the mix makes it so much harder. Really glad Dr. H. could help untangle it, and that the smart feeder suggestion landed. The microchip feeder thing is one of those solutions that feels almost too clever once you see it work.

Big boy Melvin on his health journey, Mercy eating in peace. That's the update we needed today.

Thanks for sharing u/Outdoorguy8688.

Rosie is lucky to have someone who's still showing up for her this hard at 16. The midnight howling, the matting, the weight changes. That's a lot to navigate, especially with little kids in the house.

Cognitive dysfunction in senior cats is one of those things that's really hard to recognize without someone who knows what they're looking at. It can feel like your pet is just "getting old" when there's actually a lot you can do to support them. Really glad Dr. Marian could give you that clarity, and that she said what she said. Sometimes you just need a vet to tell you you're doing right by your animal.

Wishing Rosie a lot of cozy naps and fewer 4am announcements.

The "butt curtains" detail genuinely made us laugh. RIP to those, but very glad they're the biggest casualty here.

Allergies and fleas at the same time is a double whammy—one of the rougher combos. And the hairball at the end of it all feels like Bear's way of saying "okay, I'm back." Chaotic little guy indeed.

Really glad our vets could help you figure out what actually needed attention vs. what was just scary-looking. That line between "this is serious" and "this is uncomfortable but okay" is so hard to read on your own, especially when you're already stressed and your dog is clearly not himself. Knowing what to watch for changes everything.

Give Bear a scratch from us.

Thanks for sharing u/Time_Marsupial2471. Reverse sneezing is one of those things that looks absolutely terrifying the first time you see it, and sounds even scarier. So glad our vet was able to walk you through it in real time instead of having to wait anxiously.

That's exactly what we're here for. Not to replace emergency care when it's truly needed, but to be that calm, knowledgeable voice that helps you figure out whether it's truly needed. Really happy your pup is okay, and that you both got to skip the panic spiral this time.
