grapiprant — option for some dogs

nerve-related or adjunct pain support
Joint supplements

when rehab helps recovery
Your vet chooses options that balance relief with safety — including what’s appropriate for long-term use.
How TelaVets works
Book your visit
Pick a time that works — visits are a flat $65.
Meet your vet online
Share how long symptoms have been going on, your dog’s age and weight, and any meds they already take.
Get a tailored plan
Your vet weighs pain control, mobility, and safety — and explains what you can do at home versus what needs a clinic.
Prescriptions when needed
If medication or supplements fit your dog’s case, we can send prescriptions for pickup or delivery when appropriate.
Help your dog move easier
Joint pain often creeps in slowly — then one day the stairs look impossible. Catching it early means simpler fixes: weight off sore joints, sensible exercise, and pain control that fits your dog’s kidneys, liver, and heart.
With TelaVets you talk to a licensed vet from home, get a written plan you can follow, and pick up prescriptions locally or have them sent when that’s right for your pet.
We help with joint concerns like:
Osteoarthritis and everyday joint pain
Stiffness that’s worse in the morning or after naps
Weight and exercise tweaks to protect joints
Safe pain relief options for senior dogs
When limping means rest versus an emergency
Follow-up after an injury or flare-up

“We are so thankful for this service. We love Dr Courtney. I have such a peace now that I didn't have before. I feel like my fur baby, Nita, is going to finally start getting better. Thank you 🙏🏼”
“This was the most informative vet visit I've had for my fur baby! The process was seamless and the outcome was beyond my expectations!! Highly recommended!!”
“Dr.Cole was great. My dog has an ear infection and Dr.Cole really took his time explaining everything to me and answering my questions. Best Veterinarian I've ever seen!!!”
“They were prompt with appointment time and the Dr was very nice and easy to talk to... He also explained what was going on with my Little girl so that I was able to understand what is going on! Also very easy to get prescriptions to the pharmacy! Definitely would use them again and recommend them!”
Frequently asked questions
Yes — for many dogs we can review gait, history, and comfort level, talk through what you’re seeing at home, and build a pain and mobility plan. If your vet thinks x-rays, blood work, or a hands-on exam is required, they’ll say so clearly.
$65 flat. No membership and no hidden clinic fees.
Some dogs need lab checks before starting or continuing certain medications — especially long-term. Your vet will ask about health history and current drugs, then recommend what’s appropriate for your pet.
Don’t assume human products are dosed for dogs. Ask your vet which ingredients and doses are safe for your dog’s size and condition.
Sudden non-weight-bearing lameness, swelling that blows up quickly, fever, or major trauma should go to an emergency clinic. We can help you tell the difference during your visit.
