three simple steps
How PawsRx works.
PawsRx connects you with independent, licensed veterinarians and a community of fellow pet parents, all in one place. It's free for pet parents. Here's how it works.
Step 1
Ask a vet
Type your question about your pet and get a written reply that says plainly who wrote it: a licensed veterinarian, a veterinary student, or the PawsRx team. It's free, so you can ask about the small stuff before it turns into a big thing.
- Veterinary answers come from US-licensed vets, and every reply says who wrote it
- Ask about behavior, diet, symptoms, or a second opinion
- Free for pet parents, no card required to ask
- Answers are general guidance to help you decide your next step
Step 2
Find and book a vet
Browse vets by location and focus, including exotics, see what each practice offers, and book a video or in-person visit in minutes. The visit itself you pay the practice directly, at prices the practice sets.
- Search by location and by what your pet needs
- Vets who work with exotics, not just cats and dogs
- See what each practice offers before you book
- Book a video or in-person visit in a few taps
Step 3
Lean on the community
Ask other pet parents, share what worked, and get help between visits. It's the group chat every new pet parent wishes they had, moderated to keep it useful and kind.
- Ask questions and hear from parents who've been there
- Share what worked and celebrate the wins
- Get support in the moments between vet visits
- Moderated for quality, so it stays helpful
the honest part
What does it cost?
Everything on PawsRx is free for pet parents. The visit itself is between you and the practice: they set their own prices and bill you directly, and PawsRx adds nothing on top.
A quick, honest note.
PawsRx is not for emergencies. If your pet is in distress, please contact your nearest emergency veterinary clinic right away. And while the vets answering are real and licensed, an answer here is general guidance to help you decide your next step, not a diagnosis or a substitute for a hands-on exam.
