PetCoach by Petco

My 7 month puppy has a growth on the top of her head that really concerned me. Family & friends said “nothing to worry about, probably a bug bite.” I’m glad I asked a vet through this app because she encouraged me to go to the vet. We just returned home from the vet, my pup has a tumor & we’re awaiting the biopsy results. It’s most likely benign but I’d rather know for certain. It. Is. A. Tumor! (Arnold humor for us old fogies lol)

Tried to Sign in with Apple & it kept saying something went wrong but wouldn’t say what. I was never able to sign in after a multitude of tries so I deleted it. Don’t bother is my message.

I really appreciate the knowledge gained from this app. Thr are a couple of UI oversights that are annoying, such as not being able to move backwards in your page history so you must retype your keyword search after reading every article. Nevertheless the content has filled many gaps in my knowledge of animal care and enabled me reduce veterinary expenses by resolving minor issues at home and teaching me how to identify & monitor for signs of trouble in due time to schedule appts and receive adequate veterinary support as necessary. The increased competency in petcare yields a much happier, healthier life for me and my best friends. I would recommend this app to any pet owner.

My dog had a growth that seemed to appear overnight. It was after hours, so my vet was closed, but I was anxious so I paid for a vet’s advice. The window of time for response was six hours, so I was asleep before I got a response that was generic and riddled with typos. “Might be cancer, might not be”. Save your money and just take your pets to the vet.

Thanks pet coach. They always give me great advice for my fur babies and save me tons of money at the vet by giving me an idea of what to ask when I get there.

I’ve had this app for around 4 years. At first, everything was free & I got my answer within a couple of hours. It was great. A while after, they started charging $5 for a question; which I understand. Now, they charge you $5 for the bare minimum & $20 if you want to add MORE THAN ONE PHOTO!!!! It’s absolutely pathetic how much their prices have gone up. The vets also reply in such vague terms & it’s almost the same exact reply for every question as well. Will no longer be supporting this app, & will not be recommending it to friends & family anymore. Disgusting behavior.

It’s a lie you can’t talk to a vet anytime

This app is amazing a simple $5.00 i got to ask my question and a professional gave me an answer within the hour. Its perfect for not stressing your pets out with a vet trip and not stressing you out by breaking the bank. I would 100% recommend using this if you have any questions about your animals.

This app is a total LIE. Good luck setting up your pet’s profile it’s impossible to get the “breed” correct. Get through all that by “skip this section” only to have to pay $5 for somebody, who knows, to tell me I should take my cat to a vet. SMH

I tried to explain to this vet that my dog had injured his leg and I wasn’t sure if it was broken or a torn ligament because he was fine for a few days and then suddenly had swelling and she tried to tell me that he had cancer/mast cell tumor!!! That’s crazy, I’ve been around animals my whole life and never had such a bad experience with a vet. Clearly uneducated “veterinarians” on this app. Wasted $20. Just go to a regular vet
