Nutrition articles by Dr. Marie:

Every day in my office I have multiple conversations about the quality of pet foods. People are so confused! My clients get advice from me and then go to the pet store only to be told that the vet is wrong and really they should be buying "XYZ Brand" Premium Dog food. My goal in writing these articles is to put to rest some of the misbeliefs that are on the internet. - Dr. Marie, Veterinarian, and creator of AskAVetQuestion.com.

Dr. Marie was quick to respond and thorough in suggesting treatment for my cat. I am so thankful- I have been so worried about my cat. Now I have additional options to discuss with my vet.

The service was incredibly fast and the vet's suggestions were right on target. This was incredibly helpful given that none of the vets in my area, mine now included, will take off hours calls now.

Quick news: -
  • Ask A Vet Question now has a new site layout!

Is an online vet visit just as good as a trip to your veterinarian? No! But, many times, asking an online veterinarian a question can help save you money. While Dr. Marie can't officially diagnose your pet or prescribe medications, she can often advise you on whether a vet visit is necessary. You can also ask Dr. Marie for a second opinion on your pet's condition.
