What Pawp members are saying
“So much easier than going to the clinic.”
We couldn’t get in with our local vet for weeks, and our cat was miserable. Pawp had a visit available that afternoon and the prescription was sent to our usual pharmacy. Total game changer.
— Jessica T., California
“Handled everything from home!”
Honestly one of the most seamless experiences I’ve ever had with pet care. I didn’t have to drag my dog to a clinic or wait days for an appointment. Everything happened from home and the prescription was handled quickly.
— Alex M., New York
“Way cheaper than my regular vet!”
I saved so much by not having to schedule an in-person appointment. The vet visit happened online, and I ordered the medication right from my phone. It was fast, simple, and budget-friendly.
— Kyle S., Florida
“Perfect for rural pet parents!”
We live in a rural area, so getting to a vet isn’t always easy. Pawp made it possible to get my cat’s prescription without the stress. The online visit was quick and professional. Highly recommend!
