Say hello to Arlo!

When Arlo broke a nail and the area around his nail bed started to swell, his family knew they needed expert advice - without the stress of an in-person visit. Arlo can be reactive at the vet, so they turned to Vetster for a more comfortable experience.

They connected with one of our amazing veterinarians, Dr. Banks, who offered a clear plan and compassionate care - all from the comfort of home. Within 48 hours, Arlo’s symptoms were under control and he was back to feeling like himself!

His family shared:

“Vetster is a valuable alternative to in-person visits, especially for a reactive dog where an in-person visit is a whole adventure! The app was easy to use, the cost affordable, and value for the money incredible. The Dr. was one of the best I’ve ever interacted with!”

Whether it’s a broken nail, a skin issue, or anything in between, Vetster is here to make pet care less stressful for everyone involved.

Tangerine, a pre-teen leopard gecko, became the subject of concern after her pet parent came across posts questioning what a healthy gecko body should look like. So they booked a Vetster appointment to get the facts from an actual vet.

Enter Dr. Ashraf, a vet who specializes in reptile care. After a virtual checkup and some expert guidance, the verdict was in: Tangerine is perfectly healthy and absolutely stunning.
