Veterinary Telemedicine
Sometimes we have questions about our pets, and we want advice or guidance without the inconvenience or expense of an office visit. Veterinary Telemedicine can help.
To request a telemedicine conference, just call the Collbran or Silt office during regular business hours. You'll be connected with a vet tech who will assist you. They'll probably ask you some questions and gather some information. They may request you send pictures or a short video of the concern with your pet. Then, they'll contact Dr. Dennison who will provide instructions. (These conferences usually cost between $45 - $65.)

Telemedicine conferences are meant to be short sessions of 15 minutes or less to determine severity of the issue and need for treatment.
- In order to receive advice and recommendations, you must have an established client/ patient relationship with Dr. Dennison. Essentially, a client/ patient relationship occurs when the patient (animal), the client (owner), and the veterinarian (Dr. Dennison) are familiar with each other.
- Dr. Dennison can advise you about the urgency of the problem or recommend next steps. He cannot prescribe medications or initiate treatment via telemedicine.
- Dr. Dennison must work within certain legal perimeters and may decline telemedical services at anytime. Dr. Dennison will not be held liable for your pet's health as a result of advice given through veterinary telemedicine. Please use the service at your own risk. By contacting Dr. Dennison through telemedicine conferencing, you agree to the terms and conditions stated on this page.
