Vet-AI
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a reliable way to get advice over whether your dog needed to see a vet when they're under the weather? Well, there is one! The Joii app, from Vet-AI offers a symptom checker, as well as reasonably priced access to veterinary advice. Getting authoritative advice without leaving your own home has benefits for owners and dogs too.
Sarah Warren, who is President of the British Veterinary Dermatology Study Group and RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Veterinary Dermatology, among other roles, talks to Julie about this exciting new technology. Joii is also making life easier for vets which is great, because did you know that vets are four times as likely to die by suicide compared to the national UK average?
You can find out more about Joii and how to download it at their website.
