Triage guide

How VetNow AI pet triage works

VetNow turns a worried moment into a structured next step: emergency clinic, same-day vet, monitor at home, or basic home care.

It is informational decision support — not diagnosis, prescriptions, or a live vet call.

Step 1 — Describe what you see

Choose species (dog or cat), note age if known, and write the symptoms in plain language: vomiting, limping, not eating, coughing, and so on.

Include onset time, frequency, and anything your pet may have eaten (chocolate, xylitol gum, grapes, plants).

Step 2 — Add an optional photo

A clear photo of posture, injury, gum color context, vomit, or stool can sharpen triage context. Skip the photo if you need speed.

Step 3 — Review urgency and unlock the care plan

See urgency framing first. You get 2 free full triage reports after signup. Later reports unlock from ₹99.

If red flags appear — collapse, trouble breathing, seizures, hard bloated belly with unproductive retching, uncontrolled bleeding, known toxins — go to an emergency vet now.

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 “How VetNow AI pet triage works” 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.
