Online vet consultation in India is relatively new field – just came up during pandemic. Using MyFurries you can be assured that your pet queries are answered by panel of India’s best veterniarians who have hands on experience treating and looking after pet animals ( dogs and cats 🐈 🐱 )
MyFurries proprietary messaging platform lets you , a concerned petparent start question and answer session with multiple follow-ups with a vet . One can attach images , videos to their question and entire messaging session is preserved in the system and one can refer to vet prescription anytime by logging into MyFurries dashboard and clicking on question status. Since this service is free now , we haven’t been able to introduce realtime chat session with vet as understandably they are busy in their existing practice taking care of furry friends so can not come online . Messaging is delibrately asynchronous to let our panel of vets handle question as soon as they have time available.
Why is MyFurries free now ? Will I be charged in future?
MyFurries is run by motivated panel of veterniarians whose main aim is increasing pet health awareness among first time pet owners . Pets are not little adults and require specialised care from vets. Unfortunately , not many realise this and not willing to spend money or time or do that only when it’s too late.
MyFurries aim is build this awareness , and during this phase we are encouraging petowners to use this FREE service to allay their fears.
Future – there will be a real time chat option , video call where you can book a slot with the vet within app itself and that will be understably paid
Are you focussed on online vet consultation only for India markets?
Our panel vets are licensed to operate only in India however we do give general advice with disclaimers to pet parents around the world .
Why should I post on MyFurries vs. asking a question on reddit or other forum?
Sure that is possible but that takes time , you are not sure of the response if it’s indeed from licensed medical professional and there is no commitment from question responder side.
Why should I trust advice from MyFurries?
Very good question ! MyFurries is founded by ex-Naukri.com , 99acres.com leadership team who has 20 years experience running India’s premier internet services in most ethical and transparent manner. We take pet parents very seriously and as a pet parent ourselves onboarded only those vets who credentials are impeccable and vetted by us. Proprietary messaging system guarantees that as soon as your query is posted – it is sent on central dashboard where it is routed to available vet automatically and assigned vet gets an alert as their email as well as text message .
Do you have Android or iOS app ?
Unfortunately that takes time and effort to develop . We are currently working on both versions and by end of Q2 should see native apps for both platforms !. Meanwhile petparents can continue to use web app to do online vet consultations.
