ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

WHAT DOES A VETERINARY HOUSE CALL LOOK LIKE?

Veterinary house calls refer to veterinary services provided in the comfort of a pet owner's home rather than in a veterinary clinic. These services can include routine check-ups, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, and even emergency care. House calls can be beneficial for pets who experience stress or anxiety when visiting a clinic or for owners who have difficulty transporting their pets. They also offer the convenience of not having to leave home, especially for elderly or disabled owners. Additionally, house calls allow veterinarians to observe pets in their natural environment, which can provide valuable insights into their behavior and health. Overall, veterinary house calls offer a personalized and convenient approach to veterinary care.

HOW LONG DOES THE APPOINTMENT TAKE? WHAT HAPPENS AT THE APPOINTMENT?

Appointments typically range from 30 to 90 minutes. This is a completely individual experience—you should take as much or as little time as you need at each stage. The first step is to go through some paperwork to make sure the doctor has accurate information about you and your pet’s medical history. Next is a physical exam and some head scratches with the doctor! Any recommended treatments, medications, or diagnostics will be discussed thoroughly with you and performed to your preference.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

We strive to make this an all-inclusive price and there is only one additional fee, addresses outside of our normal service area, that ranges from $50 to $150. The goal of concierge medicine is to charge a flat rate and take care of the logistics for you so that you can focus on quality time with your pet. Any diagnostics or treatments outside of those listed on the website will be quoted to you before you are charged.

WHICH PET SPECIES DO YOU CARE FOR?
