Online Vet for Dogs — Licensed Care for $64.99
Dogs handle vet visits better than cats — but a quick video visit still beats a 90-minute clinic round-trip for most non-emergency concerns. RexVet's online vet for dogs connects FL, NY, and VA dog parents with a licensed veterinarian by video for $64.99. Skin, ears, allergies, GI upset, anxiety, behavioral consults, prescription refills, and the constant pet-parent question 'is this an emergency?' — most of it can be handled by video.
What licensed vets can actually evaluate by video
Skin lesions, ear discharge and discomfort, eye redness, gait abnormalities, body condition, breathing pattern, posture, and behavioral observation are all visible on a quality video call. Combined with a structured history, that's enough to diagnose and treat most common dog concerns.
Prescription refills made simple
Apoquel and Cytopoint refills, antibiotics, ear medications, anxiety medications (trazodone, gabapentin, fluoxetine), GI medications, parasite preventives — all written by a licensed vet after a video visit and routed to your pharmacy of choice.
Real triage that saves ER trips
About half of pet-parent overnight ER trips turn out to be situations that could have been safely managed at home with vet guidance. A $64.99 video visit can usually tell you whether your dog needs the ER tonight, the morning clinic, or just monitored observation.

Dog-specific situations telehealth handles well
RexVet's most common dog visits are: itchy skin and hot spots, ear infections and head-shaking, GI upset with mild vomiting or diarrhea, seasonal allergies, anxiety (separation, noise, generalized), behavioral consults for new puppies and rescues, joint pain in senior dogs, weight management, and the constant prescription refill arc for skin, allergy, and chronic pain medications.
When your dog needs to be seen in person right now
Real emergencies for dogs need an in-person ER, not a video call: collapse, seizures (especially repeated or prolonged), suspected bloat (distended painful abdomen, retching without producing), suspected toxin ingestion (chocolate, xylitol, antifreeze, rodenticide, grapes, raisins, ibuprofen, lilies), severe trauma, profuse bleeding, severe respiratory distress with blue or gray gums, and any sudden inability to bear weight on a leg with severe pain.
Brachycephalic breeds (Frenchies, Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers)
Flat-faced dogs have compromised airways and don't tolerate heat or stress well. Telehealth is especially valuable for these breeds because the clinic visit itself can trigger respiratory distress. RexVet routinely handles BOAS management consults, harness-fit coaching, weight loss plans, and the chronic care these breeds need.
Frequently asked questions
What dog conditions can an online vet actually treat?
Most non-emergency conditions: skin and ear issues, allergies, mild GI upset, anxiety, behavioral concerns, weight management, prescription refills, second opinions, and chronic-condition management (skin, allergy, anxiety, joint pain). For anything that needs hands-on diagnostics — bloodwork, X-rays, ultrasound — the vet will refer you to your closest clinic.
Can an online vet prescribe Apoquel, Cytopoint, or other dog medications?
Yes, where state law permits and a valid VCPR is established. Apoquel, Cytopoint, antibiotics, anti-anxiety medications, ear medications, NSAIDs, and most non-controlled veterinary medications are all routinely prescribed through RexVet.
Is a video visit enough to diagnose a dog skin or ear infection?
For most cases, yes. The licensed vet will look at the lesion or discharge on video, ask about progression and triggers, and prescribe accordingly. If cytology or culture is clinically needed (resistant infections, atypical presentations), the vet will say so and direct you to in-person care for that portion.
What about emergency situations like bloat or seizures?
Those need an in-person emergency vet immediately. Suspected bloat (distended abdomen, unproductive retching, especially in deep-chested breeds), seizures, severe trauma, suspected toxin ingestion, severe respiratory distress, and collapse all require physical stabilization that telehealth cannot provide.
How is this different from chatting with a vet through an app?
RexVet is a real video visit with a licensed veterinarian — not a chat with a vet tech or an AI triage tool. The vet has prescribing authority, documents the visit, and is clinically responsible for the recommendations. App-based 'ask a vet' services are typically informational only and don't include prescribing.
How fast can my dog see a vet?
Most RexVet visits are available within an hour of booking. The 24/7 model means evenings, weekends, and holidays all work the same way.
Skip the clinic round-trip. A licensed FL, NY, or VA veterinarian can evaluate your dog by video for $64.99 — and tell you straight whether telehealth is enough or your dog needs to be seen in person today.
