"Now Offering Veterinary Care from the Comfort of Your Own Home"

We Offer Telehealth

Our mission at Animal Hospital of Ovilla is to understand your pet's needs and provide accurate guidance and advice. We can help you with numerous concerns, from puppy and kitten advice to behavioral and dietary consults to end of life discussions. We can also assist with determining the urgency of a situation and deciding whether your pet requires immediate care or whether you can wait to see your veterinarian during business hours, or alternatively provide some management at home.

Tips for successful virtual consultations: • Have your pet ready - on leash or with you in a contained area. • Have a helper to hold the pet or to take quality images or video. • Preplan for pictures and video and upload them before the appointment. • For checking growths, upload pictures holding a ruler or tape measure next to them. • For lameness consideration, upload video of the animal’s abnormal gait. • For skin disease, take pictures of the lesions and affected areas from several different angles.
