FAQ
Your questions and our answers.
How quickly will I get a response from PetFirst Assist?
PetFirst Assist provides instant responses to your pet emergency questions. Once you describe your pet's situation in the chat, you'll receive vet-approved guidance right away, helping you understand what's happening and what steps to take next.
Is the guidance from PetFirst Assist as good as talking to a real vet?
PetFirst Assist delivers vet-approved guidance to help you understand your pet's emergency and decide on next steps. However, PetSOS is not a substitute for professional veterinary care. For serious emergencies or when recommended by PetSOS, you should contact a licensed veterinarian or emergency vet clinic immediately.
What types of pet emergencies can PetFirst Assist help with?
PetFirst Assist can help with a wide range of pet emergencies, including injuries, poisoning, breathing problems, allergic reactions, and other urgent health concerns. Describe your pet's symptoms and situation, and you'll receive guidance on whether you need immediate professional care or if home care is appropriate.
Will PetFirst Assist tell me if I need to see a vet right away?
Yes. PetFirst Assist evaluates your pet's symptoms and will recommend an immediate vet visit when necessary. We prioritize your pet's safety and will let you know if professional veterinary care is needed urgently or can wait until normal business hours.
Can I use PetFirst Assist for non-emergency pet health questions?
Yes — PetFirst Assist isn’t just for emergencies. You can absolutely use it for general pet health questions, behavior concerns, or quick guidance when something feels “off” but not urgent. Our quick-action tools are designed to help you evaluate symptoms, understand unusual behaviors, and get clear next steps within seconds. Whether you're wondering if a symptom needs attention or just want peace of mind, PetSOS gives you fast, reliable insights without the stress.
How do I start using PetFirst Assist during a pet emergency?
You can start by either following the triage instructions or typing directly into the chat. Describe your pet’s situation with as much detail as possible—such as species, symptoms, and what happened. PetFirst Assist will guide you step-by-step, asking clarifying questions to assess the situation and provide fast, vet-informed guidance tailored to your pet’s needs.
