Steve Dale's Pet World

Virtual care or telehealth is available and it’s tempting – but might not be in your best interest or your pets’ interest, according to Dr. Gail Golab, Associate Executive Vice President and Chief Veterinary Officer of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Actually, Dr. Golab loves the idea of telehealth, noting “it can be amazing” IF and only IF it’s with a veterinary professional you have veterinary/client patient relationship with – and she explains why this one point is so vital. So many desperate pet parents are being misled by third party providers of telehealth – don’t be fooled.

Dr. Patrick Flynn is the President of the non-profit Human Animal Bond Association, and offers what his view of the bond is – and it goes way beyond only our companion animals, for example, bats to animals in zoos.
