FAQs
Veterinary nurses cannot prescribe medication. However, they can administer prescribed medications, provide advice on how to give medication at home and assist with follow-up care. For any new prescriptions or changes in treatment, a veterinarian will need to see your pet.
Coverage for nurse consultations varies depending on your pet’s insurance policy. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand what services are included.
Our staff can provide detailed invoices and documentation to assist with your insurance claims. For pets insured through GapOnly partners, we can process your claim during your visit, so you’ll only need to cover the gap amount.
If it becomes apparent during the nurse’s consultation that your pet needs to see a veterinarian, we can usually arrange an appointment on the same day or as soon as possible. Our nurses work closely with our veterinarians to ensure pets receive the appropriate care promptly.
