Questions

About thesymptom checker

Free, no sign-up, in English or Spanish. If you’re ever unsure what to do, our team is one call away.

How does the symptom checker work?

You answer a few questions about your dog or cat, one step at a time. Based on common veterinary triage guidelines, the checker tells you whether a regular appointment is fine, your pet should be seen within 24–48 hours, or it may be an emergency.

Is this a replacement for a veterinary exam?

No. It gives general guidance and isn’t a diagnosis. Always trust your instincts: if you’re worried about your pet, call us at (786) 933-8697.

What if my pet’s symptoms don’t fit a category?

Choose “Other / Multiple” and the checker will walk you through a few general questions. You can also call us at (786) 933-8697 for personal guidance.

Do I need to create an account?

No. The checker is free and needs no sign-up. At the end you can copy a short summary of your answers to share with our team when you call.

Can I use it for pets other than dogs and cats?

The checker is designed for dogs and cats, the pets we care for. For birds, rabbits or other pets, please call us at (786) 933-8697 and we’ll point you in the right direction.

What should I do if the result says “emergency”?

Call us right away at (786) 933-8697. We’re open Monday–Saturday, 9 AM–10 PM. If we’re closed, go to the nearest 24-hour emergency animal hospital.
