WHEN NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO TO THE VET
Going to the vet for one pet while leaving another at home can be distressing for everyone! Alternatively, bringing another pet "for moral support" can also be just as stressful. Virtual visits eliminates both of these scenerios at once!
CATS OFTEN HAVE THEIR OWN OPINION!

Cats in particular are not typically fans of a ' car ride', much less a cat carrier. A virtual visit eliminates this stress for cats. It also allows Dr. Salvo to see the cat in its own environment where he or she is more comfortable and would display more natural behaviors...which helps to better evaluate the current concern.
