## What is PocketVet?

When something is wrong with your pet, the scariest part is not knowing how serious it is. PocketVet gives you a calm, clear read in seconds.

Take a photo of what you are worried about, add a few words about what you are seeing, and PocketVet tells you whether it looks like something you can monitor at home, something that needs a vet in the next day or two, or an emergency that needs care right now.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Photograph a symptom (skin, eyes, gums, stool) and get an instant urgency read
• Three clear levels: monitor at home, see a vet soon, or emergency now
• Tailored to your pet's species, breed, and age
• "Can my dog or cat eat this?" checker for hundreds of common foods
• A health log you can hand to your vet, so nothing gets lost
• Built to be cautious: when in doubt, it tells you to call a vet

WHY POCKETVET
• Answers in seconds, not the hours a callback service takes
• No per-call fee just to be told "see a vet"
• Works for every pet in your household
• Your photos are processed to give you an answer and are not sold or shared

IMPORTANT
PocketVet provides general informational guidance to help you decide what to do next. It is not a veterinary service, not a diagnosis, and not a replacement for professional care. In an emergency, contact a veterinarian immediately.
