Telehealth for your pet

Dr. Sarah Boston's mission is to help clients and referring veterinarians with the diagnosis, staging and treatment of pets with cancer. Her focus is on surgical oncology cases, but she can also provide guidance for adjunctive treatment of cancers and select non-oncologic surgical cases. Consultations can be either vet-to-vet or vet-to-client, depending on your location and preferences. For cases in Ontario, Dr Boston can provide either type of consultation and we can arrange for in-person care. For cases outside of Ontario, Dr. Boston will consult directly with your veterinarian to provide recommendations and advice for case management.

How Our Platform Works

It's extremely easy to use our consulting platform. Follow the simple steps below!

Sign-Up

Get started with our platform by clicking the ‘Register’ button in the top right corner. There is no fee to sign-up!

Schedule Appointment or Create Referral

Consultation services are by referral only. There are two types of video consultations:

  1. Vet-to-Vet consultations are with Dr Boston and the veterinarian directly. These appointments can be booked by directly veterinarians. For cases outside of Ontario, only vet-to-vet consultations are possible.
  2. Vet-to-Client consultations are by referral only. Once Dr Boston has reviewed the referral message from a veterinarian, these appointments can be booked directly by clients. This is for cases within Ontario. During the consultation, we can review options and arrange for in-person diagnostic tests and treatment.
  3. Messages - this function is for referring veterinarians to set up Vet-to-Client consultations. Please note that these messages must be sent by veterinarians in Ontario and not pet owners.

Once in the application, select your preferred type of consultation and select an available time slot.
Please note: For messages, a time slot is not needed. Once reviewed we can set up a consultation.
