Veterinary telemedicine is a new technology used to ensure that a two-way flow of information is facilitated between field veterinarians and experts, resulting in an enriching experience for the animal husbandry sector. This allows a veterinarian to digitalize radiographic, ultrasound, and microscopic images and send them through fax or the internet to a veterinary specialist for interpretation providing service without leaving their veterinary dispensary or a hospital. The interest in veterinary telemedicine has increased due to the ongoing pandemic.

According to the article published by the Veterinary Medical Association in 2020, the use of veterinary telemedicine has grown to monitor and protect the health of veterinary teams and veterinary patients. Moreover, in March 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it intends to temporarily not enforce certain requirements to allow veterinarians to better use telemedicine to address animal health needs by providing flexibility that will help veterinarians maintain the health of animals during the pandemic.

Veterinary telemedicine is the act of practicing medicine at a distance. Any time a veterinarian diagnoses a condition, recommends a particular treatment or provides a prescription, without the patient in the hospital for an in-person physical examination. It is the safe, appropriate, and timely assessment and management of the animal patient via electronic consultation with their owners. Some veterinary hospitals offer their own telemedicine services that work within the veterinary hospital or veterinarians contracted from an outside service.

A veterinary telemedicine app gives clinics a competitive edge by maintaining and managing a large client base that provides animal owners with a greater level of satisfaction. Moreover, telemedicine gives veterinarians an advantage over the competitors by increasing their clients' level of satisfaction with the care of their pets. However, in veterinary telemedicine, a current Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR) is needed to perform telemedicine according to current state laws and regulations.
