A powerful telehealth platform developed for veterinary practices.

Give your clients a stress free way of getting initial veterinary advice, dental checkups or post surgery or behavioural consults.

Why Medechat is the one to choose?

Medechat telehealth platform was developed to help reduce a lot of the pressures encountered as a working vet or clinic owner and increase vet retention and recruitment - and it’s Vet Board compliant.

Your vets can work flexibly and talk to clients from home or the surgery, perfect for triage and general advice. Imagine being able to talk through a pets discharge with the owner at a quiet time during the day, making pick up time fast and stress free.

Veterinary care, anytime, anywhere.

How does Medechat work?

Medechat is easy for your practice and your clients

Scheduling

Schedule video consultations at any time that suits the practice workflow. Staff can work from home at times that are more convenient for them. Available appointment times and consultation types are managed by you.

Pet owner making a booking

Booking

The Medechat button on your practice website allows previously registered pet owners at your practice to easily schedule video consults with your vets. Vet and pet owner receive a text or email confirming the time.

Consultation

At the scheduled time, the consulting vet and the pet owner join the session. The pet is examined by the Vet during the video chat. Payments are made securely through the platform before the consultation.

Treatment Plan

The pet owner is emailed a summary and a follow up appointment is made if required in-clinic or via Medechat. The vet can also issue prescriptions quickly and easily.

Record Keeping

Vet history and pet owner notes are saved in Medechat and are e-mailed back to the practice admin for attachment or copy into the patient file in your PMS. The video consultation is recorded and archived.

Complementary

A video consultation can never replace a hands-on examination of an ill or injured pet, but it can be useful for assessing remote patients, triage after hours as well as dental, behaviour, skin and post surgery consultations.
