Triage guide

AI pet triage for dogs and cats

AI pet triage is a structured way to turn “my dog/cat seems off” into a clear next step: emergency clinic, same-day vet, monitor at home, or basic home care.

VetNow gives informational urgency guidance from symptoms and an optional photo. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace a licensed veterinarian.

When AI triage helps most

Late night when clinics are closed, travel days, or when symptoms are ambiguous (vomiting once vs repeated, mild limping vs non-weight-bearing).

Use it to organize what you see, flag red flags, and decide whether waiting until morning is reasonable.

What VetNow returns

An urgency-style assessment, what to watch for, home-care ideas when appropriate, and when to seek in-person care.

You get 2 free full triage reports after signup. Urgency context is designed to reduce panic-driven ER visits when monitoring is safer — and to push you toward care when it is not.

Safety rules

Collapse, trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, bloated abdomen with unproductive retching, known toxin ingestion, or severe trauma: go to an emergency vet now. Do not wait on any app.

Emergency red flags (skip the app)

Collapse, trouble breathing, blue or very pale gums, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, a hard bloated belly with unproductive retching, known toxin ingestion (chocolate, xylitol, grapes, lilies for cats), or severe trauma: go to an emergency veterinarian now. Do not wait on any app.

What to prepare for this symptom check

Note species, approximate age/weight, onset time, and whether your pet can walk and breathe comfortably.

A short phone video of breathing effort or gait can help both VetNow and your veterinarian later.

After you get your report

If your “AI pet triage for dogs and cats” report says seek care, prefer a licensed veterinarian or emergency clinic over social media advice.

If monitoring is appropriate, re-check when symptoms worsen. VetNow stays available at vetpet.hookstep.in and can be installed as a home-screen app.
