Prescription Visits are not available in all states. To see a current list of eligible states, please check out this Help Center Article.

The big picture:
A little prep goes a long way. Here’s what to expect before, during, and after your Pawp prescription visit.


📋 Before your visit:

  • Schedule your visit in the app.

  • Complete the required medical intake form—this gives the vet key info to help your pet quickly and effectively.

Tip: The more details you give, the smoother the visit.


📲 Check-in process:

  • You’ll get a reminder + check-in prompt ~5 minutes before your visit.

  • Be ready: camera/mic on, pet with you, calm setting.

  • Check in fast to keep your spot—then wait in the virtual room with real-time updates.

Don't forget that your chosen time slot may include multiple appointments, which are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. You shouldn't have to wait more than a few minutes for your visit, though.


🎥 During the visit (≈10 mins):

  • Join the video call when notified.

  • Your vet will review your form, ask questions, and assess your pet.

  • If appropriate, they’ll issue a prescription.

  • 🧠 Reminder: The vet decides if a prescription is needed.


📄 After your visit:

  • You’ll get a personalized care plan with:
    • E-prescription (if applicable)
    • Care instructions
    • Visit transcript

💊 Use the care plan to order meds. At checkout, list ‘Pawp’ as the prescribing vet.


That’s it! Prep well, check in on time, and you’re good to go.
