All CitizenShipper drivers delivering a pet shipment are eligible for FirstVet veterinarian support to pet shipments - for both the transporter and the shipping customer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FirstVet?
FirstVet is an on-call, 24/7 veterinary video consultation service. They provide professional advice, treatment recommendations, and referrals to a nearby animal clinic by a licensed veterinarian.
How can FirstVet help me?
FirstVet provides an easy way to connect with a licensed veterinarian nearly instantly via their mobile app. The deep knowledge and expertise of the responding licensed veterinarians (averaging ~14 years of clinical experience), resolves approximately 65% of cases virtually without having to take the pet into a clinic.
In rare cases, a trip to the vet may be required during transport. FirstVet is ready and able to supply a prompt referral to a local emergency animal clinic for additional pet care.
Also, FirstVet provides the added bonus of peace of mind. Long-distance travel is taxing (for pets and humans alike), and having access to a licensed veterinarian along for the ride can help reduce anxiety for everyone involved.
