“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.

“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.

“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.

“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!
