Why we have partnered with Joii
We are passionate about the welfare of animals and want to make sure that our customers have access to expert advice whenever and wherever they need it.
That’s why Animal Friends’ dogs and cats have access to online vet video calls with Joii for free. Joii video consults are usually £28 for non-Animal Friends customers, though we want to help you save money, time, and stress by getting your pet the care they need without costing a penny.
Face-to-face calls with an RCVS-qualified Joii vet will allow you to ask questions, share concerns, and show them your dog or cat without even leaving the house - providing you with either a diagnosis or guidance on what to do next.
Protect your dog or cat with Animal Friends and get access to free online video calls with Joii.

Video consults from the comfort of your own home.
Visits to the vets can be stressful for you and your pet. Joii's one-to-one video consultations mean that you can get the vet support you need, any time of the day or night, without needing to leave your house (or, more importantly, wrestle to get the cat in that travel basket, or the dog through vet practice door!).
You can also buy products through the app to treat your pet at home. Please note, you will need to cover the cost of treatment. Not all treatments are covered by your insurance so please check your policy documents.
Access to this service is available 24/7/365 and is completely free for Animal Friends' dogs and cats. Vet consultations for non-Animal Friends customers are usually £28.

A lot of examinations are carried out effectively online! Sometimes it’s better to see a pet in their relaxed home environment. However, should they feel it be more suitable for your pet to be examined face to face, the vet or nurse will let you know and will help you find a vet near you or inform you to go to your usual vets.
No. Joii is designed to give you access to an online consultation when you may not be able to get to your usual veterinary practice. Whilst the Joii vets and veterinary nurses won’t be from your usual practice, they will be fully registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and, with your permission, can request access to your pets’ medical records should they need them.
The Joii app consultations or symptom checker should not be used in urgent, life threatening situations. Joii does have a vet finder that can help you locate your nearest veterinary practice.
