At Hoof & Paw Veterinary Services, we understand that taking your cat to the vet can sometimes be stressful—for both you and your furry friend. That’s why we’re excited about telemedicine, a growing way to connect with your veterinarian through video calls, right from the comfort of your home.


What Is Telemedicine and Why Are Cat Owners Interested?

A recent study of over 1,200 cat owners across the U.S. showed just how interested people are in this option:

  • Nearly 9 out of 10 cat owners said they would consider using video visits for their pets.

  • Many owners felt video calls were less stressful than traditional vet visits, both for themselves and their cats.

  • Telemedicine also helps make veterinary care more accessible, especially for those with busy schedules or mobility challenges.

  • Most people preferred video visits for questions about their cat’s behavior or minor concerns, while still trusting in-person visits for more serious health problems.


How Can Telemedicine Help You and Your Cat?

Telemedicine offers a convenient way to get advice, discuss behavior issues, or check in on your cat’s health without the stress of travel or waiting rooms. It’s a great option for follow-ups or quick questions, helping you care for your cat in a calm and comfortable way.


When Is Telemedicine Not Enough?

While telemedicine is a helpful tool, it’s not a replacement for hands-on exams or emergencies. Some health issues require a physical visit to our clinic to make sure your cat gets the best care possible.
