For many cases, yes. RexVet handles mild-to-moderate diarrhea via video: bland-diet coaching, dewormer prescriptions for parasitic causes where state rules allow, probiotic guidance, and triage of when you need an in-person fecal test. Most adult dogs with single-episode diarrhea + normal energy do well with conservative management. A $64.99 video visit gets you a licensed New York vet who can recommend home care, prescribe where medication is appropriate and state rules allow, or tell you when in-person care is required. If the veterinarian prescribes, a pharmacy fills the prescription and a pharmacy transfer fee applies.

Puppies with diarrhea (parvo screening), bloody diarrhea, severe vomiting + diarrhea, dehydration signs, or any signs of toxin exposure need in-person care. Persistent diarrhea beyond 48 hours often needs fecal testing and bloodwork. If your dog needs in-person care, New York has multiple emergency clinics — but RexVet can help triage by video first so you don't waste a trip if it's not needed.

NYC dogs frequently develop dietary-indiscretion diarrhea from street food, garbage, and sidewalk exposure. Winter chicken-bone exposure (Christmas trash) is a real seasonal risk. NYC dog parks have higher transmission rates for giardia and Campylobacter.

Until you can speak with a vet: Withhold food for 12 hours (water in small amounts is okay); Reintroduce a bland diet slowly (boiled chicken + plain rice); Track frequency, volume, color, consistency, and any blood. Never give human medications to your dog without veterinary guidance.
