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.
