What we treat in New York
Chronic conditions our New York-licensed vets manage
RexVet's New York-licensed veterinarians routinely manage long-term chronic conditions by video — refills, monitoring, dose adjustments, and care-plan changes. Each guide below covers New York-specific context: climate triggers, regional disease pressure, and how telehealth fits.
Arthritis (Osteoarthritis) in New York
arthritis management for both
Allergies (Skin & Environmental) in New York
allergies management for both
Hot Spots (Acute Moist Dermatitis) in New York

Hip Dysplasia in New York

Breed-specific care
Top breeds & New York risk profiles
Each breed faces a different risk profile in New York's climate. These guides combine the breed's known predispositions with New York-specific environmental triggers — humidity, pollen, tick load, temperature swings, urban vs. suburban exposure.
Golden Retriever in New York
New York Golden Retrievers face seasonal allergy spikes, winter joint pain from cold floors, and urban apartment-life weight gain that worsens hip dysplasia.
Labrador Retriever in New York
New York Labs face urban-apartment weight gain, winter joint pain, and a higher rate of dietary indiscretion from street food and trash in NYC walks.
French Bulldog in New York
New York French Bulldogs are the city's most popular breed — apartment life suits them but heated apartments worsen breathing issues, and winter cold + hot summer pavement both pose specific Frenchie risks.
German Shepherd in New York
New York German Shepherds face apartment-life challenges for a working breed, winter joint pain, and dietary indiscretion-driven GI episodes from urban exposure.
Yorkshire Terrier in New York
New York Yorkies face winter hypothermia risk (toy breed + thin coat), tracheal collapse triggered by cold air, and NYC sidewalk hazards including ice melt ingestion.
Poodle in New York
New York Poodles face Addison's disease (Standards especially), winter joint pain, and apartment-life weight management — plus the breed's high intelligence means under-exercised NYC Poodles develop behavioral issues quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Online vet in New York — your questions answered
Vet-reviewed by Dr. Tiffany Delacruz, DVM · Last updated 2026-07-15
Is there an online vet in New York that can prescribe medication?
Yes. RexVet's licensed New York veterinarians can prescribe medication during a $64.99 video visit, where state law permits establishing a veterinarian-client-patient relationship by video. Prescriptions are filled through RexVet's in-house pharmacy (RexVetRx) or routed to a local New York pharmacy. Controlled substances are not prescribed via telehealth.
How much does an online vet visit cost in New York?
A standard RexVet video visit in New York is $64.99 flat — substantially below the average in-person veterinary visit cost in New York metro (typically $100-$200). The Family Plan is $120 one-time and covers 4 video visits plus unlimited messaging for every pet in the household.
Can I see an online vet in NYC right now?
Yes. RexVet operates 24/7 booking with licensed New York veterinarians available for same-day video visits across all 5 boroughs of New York City and upstate New York. Book at rexvet.org/book-appointment; most appointments are available within the same business day.
Is online vet care legal in New York?
Yes. New York permits telemedicine within an established veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR). Establishing the VCPR remotely is permitted under defined circumstances per New York State Board of Veterinary Medicine guidance. RexVet's licensed New York veterinarians practice within these rules.
Does RexVet serve all 5 boroughs and upstate New York?
Yes. RexVet's licensed New York veterinarians serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, plus all upstate New York including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Yonkers, and every other New York ZIP code. Veterinary licensure is statewide.
What's the difference between RexVet and Pawp in New York?
RexVet is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charging $64.99 per video visit with licensed New York veterinarians who can prescribe and fulfill pharmacy in-state. Pawp operates a $24/month subscription that bundles unlimited triage chats but generally does not prescribe; for prescriptions you'd need a separate provider. RexVet's per-visit model with prescribing matches typical clinical workflows.
Can an online vet refill my New York pet's prescription?
Yes. A licensed RexVet New York veterinarian can review your pet's prescription history during a $64.99 video visit and authorize a refill where clinically appropriate. Maintenance medications (flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, established chronic-condition prescriptions) often qualify with a brief check-in.
What conditions can a New York online vet treat?
Common conditions handled well in New York telehealth: skin and ear infections, allergies, anxiety, mild GI upset, urinary symptoms in alert pets, flea/tick management, chronic-condition follow-up, prescription refills, and second opinions. Telehealth is not appropriate for trauma, severe bleeding, seizures, collapse, blocked urination, or any condition needing in-person stabilization.
Does RexVet take pet insurance in New York?
RexVet does not bill insurance directly. Major pet insurance plans active in New York (Healthy Paws, Trupanion, Embrace, ASPCA Pet Insurance, MetLife Pet, Pets Best) reimburse for telehealth consultations and prescription medication — submit your itemized RexVet receipt to your insurer's claims process. RexVet provides structured receipts on request.
