Online vets are a convenient and quick way to get credible Vet advice without leaving your home.
An online vet service like VetAssist is a service that connects you to licensed Australian Vets via video or chat online, so you can get access to credible Vet advice 24/7.
Many pet queries could be resolved by connecting via video or chat consultation with an experienced Veterinarian, especially when you may not be able to travel to a physical vet clinic, don’t have enough time in your busy schedule, or your usual vet clinic might be outside of the working hours.
And the best part - it's free with your Everyday Pet Insurance policy.†
By accessing VetAssist via My Insurance Portal, you can speak to an experienced Australian qualified Vet via video or chat within minutes. Through chat or video, you’ll be able to describe your pet’s issue and share photos. This can be very convenient, especially when issues happen when your usual vet is closed.
The online Vets might be able to support you in queries and give you advice on what needs to be done, such as being able to manage it at home, bringing your pet to your usual Vet, or seeking urgent care.
After the consultation, you'll receive a transcript of your conversation or notes left by the Vet. The same Vet will then follow up via email in 24 hours to check-in and see how you and your pet are doing.
For serious emergencies, please call your local or emergency Vet straight away.
The VetAssist Vets can help with a new or ongoing condition or advise about behaviour or feeding.
Some of these include:
Note that Vets are not able to prescribe medication or provide you with any information about your insurance policy. Any consultations with VetAssist do not guarantee an approved claim.
VetAssist is a free service provided to you for being an eligible Everyday Pet Insurance customer. This means that you don't have to worry about claiming for it.
You have 24/7 access to VetAssist during your subscription. Everyday Pet Insurance reserves the right to cancel your VetAssist subscription due to unreasonable or excessive usage of the service.
The VetAssist vets are there to help you with any questions you have about new or current conditions, tips on feeding your pet, any behavioural symptoms and general Vet advice.
Common topics include skin conditions, minor cuts and infections, dental and teeth hygiene, bad smells, behavioural issues, feeding guides, training tips and many more.
VetAssist vets are all licensed Australian Vets who have been in the industry for over 5 years. All Vets are also pet owners, so they understand the importance and stress for caring for your pet when they are ill.
Your VetAssist access will be valid until the cancellation or expiration of your Everyday Pet Insurance Policy. Everyday Insurance reserves the right to vary or cancel a free VetAssist membership at any time without notice.
