Pet owners will soon have another way to get their veterinary care. Starting on january first, vets will be able to see animals through virtual appointments. A new bill signed by Governor Newsom expands the use of veterinary tele medicine in california under the states current laws, pet owners often have to wait weeks, even months, sometimes for appointments. So this will help with availability. The San Francisco spca says these appointments dont replace all inperson appointments, but they can be helpful if a vet just needs to look at behavioral issue or give advice to an owner. For folks who live in very rural getting to a vet can take several hours or if youre here in the city and youre housebound or your cat doesnt want to get in that box. And, you know, for some people who for whom, you know, transportation is difficult or for the animals that have behavioral issues are so fearful or just cant get loaded into and to a crate.
