Minor bug fixes

User reviews

Not telehealth

I wasn’t sure if this service and I tried to reach out and find out if vets are available. No response. So I decided to chat, I was provided extremely basic care information that is available in any book and online resource.

When I tried to clarify if vets were available, I was told “the information I gave you above is telehealth”. No, that is not telehealth. Is it copy and pasting information readily available to anyone.

There is no value in this service. I received mine free for one year, luckily because there is nothing to add you can’t get free.

Absolutely terrible

I was supposed to get an email with a link for a one year whiskerdocs subscription immediately after my 24petwatch premium purchase. Never got a link. After an hour of waiting, I ended up paying $5 to send a message to a vet over whiskerdocs anyway, and they promised to reply within 24 hours. It’s been over 24 hours and I’ve gotten nothing. I also STILL haven’t received the link to register my whiskerdocs account. I’ve contacted customer service and… nothing. It’s incredibly frustrating because I can’t get into a vet in my area bc they’re so booked up, and I need help determining whether my pet’s issue is serious enough to wait 8 hours at a pet emergency center in a room of sick animals in the middle of covid.

TLDR; Whiskerdocs is unresponsive and unreliable

Terrible

I never could complete. The system blocked me at every turn. Tried several times. And I haven’t tried in a long while. I will try again
