As a new cat mom, I’m still learning about my 5-month old kitten Leo. I noticed that Leo was having some eye issues so I really wanted to get a vet’s opinion on whether this warrants an emergency room visit or not. I was able to book an appointment and speak to a vet within 30 mins of setting up an account. The vet was attentive and professional, and prescribed Leo some eye wash that helps relief his discomfort while we continue to monitor his symptoms. I highly recommend Hello Ralphie to anyone who’s in similar situations - who cares for and has lots of questions about their pet’s health, and do not want to pay for unnecessary vet visits. ### 5/5 — Efficient and really helped my dog! *2022-01-20, version 1.004* Great assistance from customer support in making my appointment and following up afterwards. The vet was so thorough and helpful in treating my pup! ### 5/5 — Seriously worth the very small price tag! *2021-11-17, version 1.0028* Answered all my questions regarding my little kitten and his bout of stomach problems. As a first time cat owner, I was super worried about every little thing but the vet was thorough and addressed all of our concerns. Saved us the expense of having to pay a ridiculous fee at an emergency or critical care vet clinic. Very pleased with this service and will definitely use again! ### 5/5 — Great way to get a vet’s opinion without having to bring your pet out of the house! *2021-10-08, version 1.0024* My cat wasn’t feeling well and my normal vet has been difficult to get into lately (understandable and not a knock on them). This was a great way to have someone look at my cat right away without the added stress of bringing him out of the house. The vet I spoke to asked really great questions to try and pinpoint what was going on. ### 5/5 — Helpful vet *2021-09-06, version 1.0021* My cat has allergy issues. I wanted to speak with a vet before putting her in her carrier. Hello Ralphie helped connect me with a vet who was caring, and answered my questions. I would use this service again. Thank you for making virtual vet consults easy! ### 5/5 — So helpful *2021-08-27, version 1.0021* My poor dog had a bacterial infection, and on top of covid, has had prior bad vet experiences to the point where they have had to sedate her for a routine check-up. Recently, the vet clinic didn’t have any openings available and my dog, Lexi, was barely sleeping she was scratching somuch! Thankfully, I found HelloRalphie! I was able to quickly get an appointment where my dog Lexi was easily diagnosed and prescribed antibiotics. HelloRalphie further stayed in constant communicative support, really going above and beyond with their customer service in their interactions with me, just to make sure Lexi received her antibiotics. The support and care from HelloRalphie didnt stop there either, as they have also sent follow-up emails just to check up on her. Scheduling an appointment with HelloRalphie was the best thing I could have done for my dog, and she is now completely better thanks to their care, support, and exceptional services! I would recommend HelloRalphie to anyone I came across for a multitude of reasons. Mainly, though, I would recommend HelloRalphie because of its convenience and it’s support staff, which will go the extra mile to make sure you and your pet are fully taken care of! ### 5/5 — So easy and helpful *2021-07-15, version 1.0019* My dog had some icky eyes that worried me and I wasn’t able to get into my local vet for a couple weeks, so I made an appointment here and got to talk to a great vet within the hour! She was so nice and helpful and caring! ### 5/5 — Should’ve downloaded this sooner. *2021-07-03, version 1.0018* I’m so happy I discovered this app. My cat has never been sick, and I was extremely worried when he started sneezing and coughing. Him and I are not extremely fond of the vet’s office, so being able to download an app, connect with a vet, and receive medication for under $100 was a NO BRAINER. Do it!!! ### 5/5 — potbelly pig care! *2021-05-27, version 1.0015* I had a great experience using Hello Ralphie to get my questions answered about which supplements to give my potbelly pigs. What a relief to get quick answers face to face with a vet. ### 5/5 — Amazing & Truly Caring! *2021-05-17, version 1.0014* Recently my dog had an ear infection and with covid protocols, our regular vet was only doing curbside pickup. To avoid the stress of that and having to sedate my dog (there’s no way she would let them take her), I started looking into telemedicine for vets. With so many online to choose from, I randomly chose Hello Ralphie and so glad I did! The cost was also about the same, if not less, as going to our regular vet in person. From start to finish, everyone I corresponded with were amazing. At first, they didn’t have a licensed vet in WA available (which I needed so they can also prescribe medication). Then I was back to searching the internet with not much luck. To my surprise, the next day they contacted me that they asked their WA Vet, who’s currently on maternity leave, and she was willing to make time to see us. I was so relieved and happy! This showed they definitely go above and beyond for everyone. I haven’t even signed up for anything and was just a random stranger that was inquiring about their services. Dr. Conrad was also amazing. She took her time listening and explaining everything to me. She was caring and kept asking if I had anymore questions and did not rush through the appointment. Ordering the medication for home delivery was also very easy via the website. Thank you all again for the wonderful customer service! We had a great first time experience and will definitely use it again in the future. ## Frequently asked questions about Hello Ralphie ### What can I do with Hello Ralphie?
