Talk to a licensed vet online in the next hour — $64.99
Your dog is scratching more than usual and you don't want to wait 4 days for a regular clinic appointment. Your cat threw up twice this morning and you want a real vet's read before it turns into a bigger deal. RexVet has same-hour video vet visits in Florida, New York, and Virginia — $64.99 flat, real licensed DVM, video from your kitchen.
Why 'talk to a vet online now' matters
- **Waiting is stressful** — a licensed DVM's read in 30 minutes vs 4 days is a different level of peace of mind
- **Small problems get bigger fast** — early triage often prevents a $500 ER visit later
- **Working from home** — no reason to schlep to a clinic if a video visit answers it
- **Multi-pet households** — one visit can cover a quick check on both animals
- **Second opinion** — talk it through with a different DVM before agreeing to a big procedure at your regular clinic
How to book a same-hour slot
- **1. Go to rexvet.org and pick 'Book a video visit'**
- **2. Choose your state (FL, NY, or VA)** — slots are shown in your state's timezone
- **3. Pick the earliest available slot** — often within 30-60 minutes weekdays and evenings
- **4. Pay $64.99 flat** — no upsells at checkout
- **5. Fill quick history** — species, breed, age, weight, the concern, any current meds
- **6. Join the video** — you get an SMS + email when the DVM is ready
What a licensed DVM can do over video in the next hour
- **Triage** — 'is this an emergency or can it wait?' — the single most valuable use of same-hour telehealth
- **Refill an existing Rx** — oral + topical medications, sent to your pharmacy same visit when appropriate
- **Diagnose common conditions** — allergy flares, hot spots, GI upset, ear infections, mild UTIs, anxiety
- **Write a new Rx** — for conditions the DVM can diagnose over video (Apoquel for itching, Trazodone for anxiety, Cerenia oral for nausea, Clavamox for skin infections)
- **Discuss test results** — you already had labs done, need a professional to interpret
- **Second opinion** — you have a diagnosis you want to talk through before committing to treatment
When 'online now' is NOT the right choice — go to an ER
- **Bloat (GDV)** — big-chested dog with a distended abdomen, unproductive retching — 24-hour ER now
- **Hit-by-car / trauma** — 24-hour ER now
- **Difficulty breathing** — 24-hour ER now
- **Seizure lasting >5 min or multiple seizures** — 24-hour ER now

- **Male cat straining to urinate** — urinary blockage, 24-hour ER now
- **Uncontrolled bleeding** — 24-hour ER now
Cost — RexVet vs 'talk to a vet now' apps

Emergency signals
When to contact a veterinarian
- True emergency — go to a 24-hour ER now, don't wait for a video slot

Frequently asked questions
Is it really a real vet, not a chatbot?
Yes — real licensed DVMs, board-eligible to practice in FL, NY, or VA. Not AI, not a vet tech, not a triage phone tree. Real video visit with a state-licensed veterinarian.
How fast can I get on the call?
Most weekdays and evenings have same-hour or next-hour availability. Weekend availability is good on Saturday morning, tighter Sunday afternoon.
What if I need to talk to a vet in the middle of the night?
Overnight isn't our best coverage window — most overnight vet needs are true emergencies that need a 24-hour ER. If your pet is stable and it can wait 4-6 hours until morning, book an early-morning slot.
Can I do the video visit from my phone?
Yes — the video works on iPhone, Android, laptop, or desktop. Just need a camera + microphone + stable WiFi or cellular.
What if the DVM needs to see something up close?
You'll move the camera closer — DVMs are used to guiding pet parents through 'point the camera at the ear' or 'show me the paw pad.' Photos and short videos you upload before the visit help too.
Do you take pet insurance?
Yes — most major providers reimburse RexVet visits (Trupanion, Nationwide, Embrace, ASPCA, Pets Best, MetLife, and 6+ others).
What if the DVM says my pet needs an in-person visit?
You still get value — the DVM narrows down what's likely happening, tells you exactly what tests to ask for, and helps you decide urgency (today vs this week). The $64.99 is not wasted.
