WWW.VETLIVE.COM HAS LAUNCHED OFFERING PET OWNERS ROUND THE CLOCK VETERINARY ADVICE OVER THE INTERNET FROM LICENSED VETERINARIANS BETHLEHEM, PA., October 11, 2010 www.VetLIVE.com has launched, ushering in a new standard in pet care by offering an opportunity for pet owners to ask questions, get a second opinion, or chat live from the comfort of their own home, whenever they want, all at an affordable price. Husband and wife Veterinarian team Dr. Jed and Dr. Laci Schaible saw the need for such a service and decided to fill that need. Unlike other online services, all the experts at www.VetLIVE.com are hand-selected, accredited veterinarians with active licenses, and are personally reviewed and rated by real pet owners.
We felt it was time for pet owners to take control of their pet's health and healthcare spending, explains Dr. Jed Schaible. With our newly launched VetLIVE.com, if you have a question, want to chat with a veterinarian, or if you need a second opinion, all you have to do is simply grab your laptop to get answers instead of making a costly appointment, waiting for that appointment, and transporting and stressing your pet, and your wallet. Dr. Laci Schaible, his wife and partner adds, the site gives pet owners the option to upload pictures of their pet's problem and medical documents to be reviewed by real veterinarians. For only a small fee, pet owners can get answers to questions though live chats, emails or text messages. Together, through the experience of navigating the confusing and costly hospital healthcare system for their beloved family dog Madison, after learning she had terminal cancer, Jed and Laci realized how overwhelming, confusing, and expensive veterinary medicine can be for pet owners. Your pet cant talk so all the decisions fall on you, explained Dr. Jed. Six months after Madison died, we realized there was a need for pet owners to have a way to communicate and interact with veterinarians without the drawbacks that are tied to an office visit, Dr. Laci expanded, a need for pet owners to have sound unbiased guidance for their pet's health care beyond their busy veterinarian with office hours. The couple decided to fill that need with www.VetLIVE.com, thereby enabling pet parents to be effective advocates for their pet's health. One core principal to the VetLIVE mission is charity. VetLIVE offers pet owners the opportunity to donate one dollar or more at checkout. These funds are collected and donated to pet charities that pet owners choose from a list that includes charities such as "Days End Horse Rescue" and "American Humane Association." Visit www.VetLIVE.com to ask a question, register a pet, upload photos or medical documents, chat live with a licensed veterinarian, receive a second opinion, obtain nutritional counseling,, and much more. Prices range from $12.95 to $34.95 and can be paid through Google Checkout or PayPal. ### BIOS DRS. JED & LACI SCHAIBLE Jed Schaible grew up in Buffalo, New York. He spent his childhood playing with his family's many boxers and inventing new products. (He has several trademarks and inventions). He earned his B.S. from the prestigious Cornell University and his veterinary doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. During his time at Cornell, he spent a summer sleeping under the stars in a hammock in the wet mangroves of Indonesia studying orangutans. After surgically removing a bug larva that was embedded into the
back of an orangutan, the orangutan signed, "thank you, thank you, no hurt," to Jed. This was the moment he knew the only career path for him was to become a veterinarian. Always a highly ambitious leader, Jed began running his own hospital fresh out of veterinary school. After three years, he realized he needed formal business training, so he stepped down to practicing medicine part time while pursuing an MBA. While earning this degree, he worked as a Small Business Consultant at Lehigh University, where he attended on a full scholarship. Laci Schaible grew up in rural east Texas with a menagerie of dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and chickens. She wanted to be a veterinarian since the third grade. Eager to realize her dreams, she left home and started college with a full scholarship at the age of 16. She graduated with honors from Tulane University at the age of 19 and immediately started veterinary school at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine. She became one of the youngest U.S. trained veterinarians in history when she graduated with her D.V.M. at the age of 23. Her love of animals and veterinary medicine has led Laci on many interesting journeys, including being the caregiver of many unusual animals, such as tarantulas, gorillas, and white tigers, in addition to traditional pets. After practicing as an associate at an emergency/referral and general practice small animal hospital, she was anxious to lead and manage her own hospital, which she successfully accomplished and did for years. Always having an interest in diseases shared between people and animals, she recently obtained her credentials as a Certified Public Health Veterinarian. Performing surgeries with her husband remains one of her favorite aspects of practice. Jed and Laci met when he interviewed her for a job. She got the job. They said their vows in Santorini, Greece one year later. The couple agrees it was love at first site. Jed and Laci reside in Bethlehem, PA, and their only children, yet, are the four-legged kind. ### To schedule an interview with Drs. Jed or Laci Schaible, please contact Susan Hartzler at 818-998-6299. High Res photos available. CONTACT: Alpha Dog Public Relations Susan Hartzler (818) 998-6299 susan@alphadogpr.com
