The Doctor is “In” Your Pocket
It’s 11:00 PM on a Tuesday in Dubai Marina. Your cat has just vomited, and you aren’t sure if it’s a simple hairball or a midnight trip to the emergency ER. In 2025, you might have panicked. In 2026, you simply open your CoverB app.
Telehealth (or “Tele-Vet” services) has become the most significant shift in pet insurance in uae over the last year. It bridges the gap between “wait and see” and “emergency surgery,” saving pet parents time, stress, and money.
What is a Tele-Vet Consultation?
Through the CoverB 2026 platform, members have 24/7 access to licensed veterinarians via video call.
- Triage at Home: The vet can observe your pet’s breathing, movement, and behavior through your phone camera.
- Instant Advice: They can tell you if a symptom is urgent or if it can wait until your regular clinic opens at 8:00 AM.
- Prescription Integration: In many cases, for minor issues like skin rashes or eye discharge, digital prescriptions can be sent directly to your local Dubai pharmacy.
How Telehealth Saves You Money
An emergency vet consultation in Dubai after hours can cost between AED 600 and AED 1,200 just for the door fee. When you apply for pet insurance with CoverB.ae, many of our 2026 plans include unlimited free Tele-Vet calls. By using this service first, you avoid unnecessary emergency fees for non-life-threatening issues.
The “Stress-Free” Benefit
For cats especially, the trip to the vet is often more stressful than the illness itself. Telehealth allows for a “fear-free” initial assessment in the comfort of your own home. It is part of our commitment at CoverB to provide holistic care that considers your pet’s mental well-being alongside their physical health.
The 2026 Digital Ecosystem
Our pet insurance in dubai is now fully integrated with the UAE’s digital infrastructure. Your Tele-Vet notes are automatically saved to your pet’s digital file, making it easy to share them with your primary vet if a follow-up visit is needed.
