AAHA and the AVMA are very pleased to present these jointly produced Telehealth Guidelines for Small-Animal Practice in response to member requests. They are designed to support the AVMA’s Guidelines for the Use of Telehealth in Veterinary Practice , which can be found at avma.org/telehealth. Understanding how COVID-19 accelerated consumer expectations for on-demand and virtual services in every aspect of life, a Task Force of experts was convened to develop this content and ensure its relevance for veterinary practices. The result: a “how-to” resource offering step-by- step, ready-to-implement recommendations to better integrate Connected Care (telehealth) into small-animal practice.
