Find a vet who treats your animal. Or just ask one.

Nothing. PawsRx is free for pet owners: no membership, no subscription, no booking fee, and no markup on what a veterinarian charges. Asking a question is free, searching the directory is free, and what a practice charges for a visit is set by the practice and paid to the practice. We make our money from practices, not from pet owners.

Yes, and it is the thing PawsRx does that a telehealth app cannot. Search the directory by the species a practice actually treats: more than a hundred practices each for birds, rabbits and reptiles, plus ferrets, small mammals, amphibians, fish and horses, and the number grows every week as we read more practices' own websites. A rabbit in gut stasis needs a physical practice that sees rabbits, not a video call, and finding that practice fast is what PawsRx is for.

Yes. Ask a Vet is open 24/7, so you can post a question at any hour and it goes straight to the licensed veterinarians on PawsRx, free, with no card and no membership. Worry does not keep office hours, and neither does the question box.

No, and this is the one place we will not blur the line. If your pet needs help right now, call your nearest emergency veterinary hospital, or the Pet Poison Helpline on (855) 764-7661 if your pet has eaten something dangerous. What PawsRx gives you at 2am is a directory that tells you which practice near you treats your species, when it opens and what its number is, so you know where to drive.

Yes, and it is free. Your question reaches the licensed veterinarians on PawsRx the moment you post it, with no card, no membership and no consult fee. Every reply is labelled with who wrote it, a licensed veterinarian, a veterinary student, or the PawsRx team, so you always know who is talking to you.

Yes. Practices that have claimed their PawsRx page take bookings online with their own hours, their own appointment types and their own prices, and PawsRx never adds a booking fee. Every other listing carries the practice's real phone number and opening hours, read from the practice's own website, so you can call and get through. The listing tells you which of the two it is, so you never land on a form that goes nowhere.

No. PawsRx does not prescribe, dispense or sell medication of any kind. A prescription comes from the veterinarian who has examined your animal, which in most states legally requires an in-person exam first, and PawsRx is how you find and book that veterinarian.

Telehealth apps sell video visits; PawsRx is a directory of physical practices plus free written questions. The apps connect you to a veterinarian on video, usually for a fee or a subscription. PawsRx is free, and instead of a video call it tells you which of 26,000+ US practices near you treats your species, what it offers, when it opens and what its number is. Video visits are useful for advice and useless for surgery, so the two answer different questions.
