And I got on a call with Dutch.

I showed what's happening.

I explained what's happening.

And the vet right away knew that what was happening is called a reverse sneeze.

Nothing to worry about.

And she showed me additional videos on YouTube of dogs reverse sneezing.

And it looks like a seizure and could be confused to be a seizure, but it's completely normal.

And within seconds, I had this huge sigh of relief.

And it saved me so much time, so much money, and also a peace of mind that my dog was okay.

And there are so many other instances like that when it comes to the common things we see like an ear infection, eye infection.

or some sort of a rash.

And it's so much better to go to Dutch and talk to a real professional who knows what she's talking about.

And then your dog or cat's not suffering overnight while you wait to go see someone in person.

And we often see a situation where a rash became worse because the

the owner decided to wait it out.

And I think that's the beauty of telemedicine is you can have access to an affordable veterinarian at your fingertips without having your pet suffer and without having to wait forever to get an in-person appointment.

You can take lots of photos as well, too, and show that to the veterinarian, just like you.

And again, if you were to bring that dog to a vet, oftentimes they're going to use visual cues to examine the pet.

Now, of course, like back to what I mentioned, gold standard of care, could you run more tests?

absolutely but that's not something that a lot of people can afford which goes back to why they're not they're waiting it out because they don't want to be stuck with a 200 bill at the end of it all and so if someone's choosing okay do i wait it out and do nothing or do i see if a professional can help and again
