Accessing veterinary care for your pet has the potential to be more convenient in 2024. California Assembly Bill 1399 now allows telehealth visits for your animal. "I'm thrilled for pet parents and pets alike," Mark Bordo said, who is the Founder and CEO of Vetster. "Behavioral concerns, aging concerns, food concerns, those are all great telemedicine questions." He started the company after his 17-year-old Cockapoo was having tremors while on vacation, over a holiday weekend, which meant he had limited access to a veterinarian. "Hundreds of conditions can be diagnosed online and you can get prescriptions right through Vetster," he added. Vetster is a platform that connects you to a virtual vet within 30 minutes. You can pick based on price or whether they specialize in dogs, cats, reptiles or guinea pigs. And before Fluffy even needs that appointment, you can create an account and upload your animal's medical history, for free.
