A number of veterinarian clinics across Prince George have started using a phone service called VetTriage to respond to emergency calls after hours.
Ospika Animal Clinic started a trial run with the service last week to ease the overwhelming amount of emergency calls they receive on a daily basis.
To access the service, users must have an account with Vet Triage set up, pay a $50 USD fee and then a vet will assess the animal over the phone and contact the nearest veterinarian if emergency medical attention is required.
Some pet owners in Prince George raised concerns about the service, however, Ally Rennhack, Head Vet Technician at Ospika Animal Hospital reassured pet parents of some of their concerns.
