DialCare has launched an innovative new virtual veterinary program—DialCare Virtual Vet—that offers members instant access to licensed veterinary professionals 24/7 via video or phone chat for advice and guidance surrounding general pet healthcare.

"As the demand for virtual health solutions continues to increase, we are thrilled that DialCare's virtual veterinary program is now available for pet owners throughout the nation,” said Jeremy Hedrick, DialCare president, in a company release.

"Pet adoption and sales soared during the pandemic which has increased demand for veterinary care in the U.S. We are excited DialCare is able to offer a much-needed resource for immediate virtual visits with qualified, licensed veterinary professionals any time our members need assistance for their pets' health,” he added.

The demand for virtual veterinary services has risen as they enable pet parents to receive around-the-clock advice for their pets without the inconvenience, stress, and cost of visiting a veterinary clinic. DialCare Virtual Vet visits offer members with real-time suggestions and insight on their pets' health to address their concerns from the comfort of their own homes, according to the release.

Blake Watson, DVM, chief medical officer for DialCare Virtual Vet, oversees the program by utilizing his knowledge and experience. Watson has a background in general small animal practice, general large animal practice, emergency medicine, and he is currently practicing as a primary care practitioner.

Along with a virtual veterinary program, DialCare has various other telehealth solutions, including a Physician Access program, a Mental Wellness program for individuals of all ages, and more. These telehealth programs are available to any-size organizations or industries, employees of any status, and individual consumers nationwide.
