Why Ask Jan?
Each time you Ask Jan a question, we’ll select the right member of our team and have them call you with the answer. If you’ve ever looked for professional help online, you know how hard it can be to find someone—sifting through pages of Google listings trying to pick a name is pretty brutal. Ask Jan has built the world’s best network of credentialed experts, each one vetted and selected as the top of their field, so we’ve already done the legwork for you.
There’s zero awkwardness. A free conversation with a professional usually comes with an unspoken expectation – that it could be the beginning of a fee-for-service relationship. The experts at Ask Jan will answer your questions without the uncomfortable implication.

Ask Jan provides an independent network that gives you truly independent opinions, a top-tier group of attorneys, accountants and others who will work for you – and only you – if you need them.
It helps you save for the future. Even though they ask pet owners to do it every day, investing in professional help isn’t easy for veterinary professionals.

With each month of your Ask Jan membership and the credits you earn, you’ll be saving toward work that can make a substantial change in your career.
