Pet Telemedicine

Our pet telemedicine service offers a convenient and efficient way for pet owners to seek medical advice and treatment for their beloved companions from the comfort of their homes. Through virtual consultations with our veterinarians, pet telemedicine enables timely assessment of a pet’s health concerns, providing expert guidance, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations without the need for in-person visits.

Pet Telemedicine Form

Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic and its Veterinarians and Technicians wish to consult with you regarding your pet’s medical status. Telemedicine is the delivery of health care services using email, text messaging, interactive audio, or video technology, where the patient and the veterinary professional are not in the same physical location. Videos, pictures, and text may be recorded and linked to your pet's medical record during this consult.
