Veterinary Telehealth Services in Brooklyn Park, MN
At Brooklyn Park Pet Hospital, we understand that convenience and efficiency matter when it comes to your pet’s care. Our veterinary telehealth services allow established clients to connect with one of our doctors through a virtual appointment—right from the comfort of home.
Telehealth appointments are designed to address certain medical concerns that may not require an in-clinic visit. While there is no substitute for a hands-on physical exam, virtual visits can be an appropriate and efficient option in specific situations.
Who Is Eligible for Telehealth?
Telehealth appointments are available only for established patients who have been examined by a Brooklyn Park Pet Hospital veterinarian within the past 12 months. This allows our doctors to provide safe, effective guidance while maintaining a valid veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR).
Conditions That May Be Addressed via Telehealth
For eligible patients, the following concerns may be discussed during a telehealth appointment:
-
Chronic disease management for previously diagnosed conditions, including skin allergies, joint pain and osteoarthritis, metabolic disorders, or cancer
-
Quality of life discussions and hospice care planning
-
Behavioral concerns and anxiety disorders
-
Diet, nutrition, and weight management consultations
If your veterinarian determines that an in-person exam is needed, our team will help schedule a clinic visit.
Prescriptions & Follow-Up Care
