00:00 Hi, I'm Dr. Katie Nelson, Senior Veterinarian at CHUI.
00:03 We're talking today about innovations in pet care
00:06 and how we at CHUI have been helping to increase affordability
00:09 and accessibility to care for pet parents across the country.
00:13 At CHUI, we've been doing telehealth now for almost four years.
00:17 And you wonder, what can you do with telehealth and pet health?
00:21 Is this something that's going to take the place of going to your regular veterinarian?
00:24 And the answer is absolutely not.
00:26 This is nothing that's going to substitute for that relationship,
00:29 but this is definitely something that can help to supplement that relationship.
00:33 Maybe you have questions in the middle of the night and you don't know who to turn to,
00:36 so you think, oh, well, I'll just do an online search.
00:39 Well, what if you had a veterinarian or a licensed technician in your pocket
00:43 that you could reach out to for free and have that conversation,
00:47 you know, to help you really figure out, is this something that's a true emergency?
00:51 Or maybe it's just a question that's keeping you up at night.
00:54 We love those sort of, like, silly questions, you know,
00:56 why is my dog dragging his bum across the carpet?
00:59 Something simple like that.
01:00 Well, we do have veterinarians and technicians that are on call 18 hours a day,
01:04 365 days a year, through our CHUI Connect with a Vet service,
01:08 and it's completely free to anybody with a CHUI account.
01:12 So you can go directly through your app, you can go through your laptop, your tablet,
01:16 your smartphone, however it is that you access the Internet,
01:19 and click on Connect with a Vet to be instantaneously connected
01:22 with one of our licensed professionals to ask any question that you want to ask
01:26 about your dog and cat.
01:27 And if you have a new pet, we've even got a video consult service
01:30 where you can go on and have a conversation with one of our licensed veterinarians
01:34 about your new pet.
01:36 How many litter boxes do I need in the house for my new kitten?
01:38 When can I start taking my puppy to the dog park?
01:41 When do I spay and neuter?
01:42 When do I need--what vaccinations do I need for my particular area?
01:46 We can help you have a tailor-made conversation to really help you
01:49 to establish the best routines and plans for your pet.
01:53 And increasing accessibility and affordability wouldn't be the same
01:57 without something like a pet wellness or insurance plan.
02:00 So check out Care Plus on our site as well.
02:03 Care Plus can really help you to properly budget for how to take care of your pet
02:08 in the best way.
02:09 One of the biggest misconceptions that pet parents have is underestimating
02:13 the cost of pet parenthood, whether it's just underestimating the cost of food
02:18 or prescription medications, any of those things.
02:22 We've got you covered, either with a wellness plan
02:25 or all the way up to accident and injury.
02:27 We can help you to plan for that with your pet.
02:29 And at Chewy, we are America's number one pet pharmacy,
02:32 so if you have any needs for your pets, we've got you covered at Chewy.com.
