Good to know
Is Bestie a vet?
No. Bestie is an AI assistant that shares general pet-care information. It can't examine your pet, and it will tell you when a vet visit is needed. For anything urgent, call your vet.
What should I do in an emergency?
Contact your vet or the nearest emergency clinic straight away — don't wait for an answer online. In the US you can also call ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 or Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661 (both may charge a fee). Elsewhere, call the nearest emergency vet.
Does it cost anything to ask Bestie or post in the community?
No, both are free.
What happens to what I type in the chat?
Your messages are sent to our AI provider to write the answer and are kept for up to 30 days so the conversation keeps working. Please don't share personal details. See our privacy policy for more.
Who answers in the community?
Fellow pet owners sharing their own experience, and the BestiePaws team. New questions often get a quick first answer from our AI, marked "AI answer" until a team member has reviewed it.
