MOBILE VETERINARY SERVICES

In-home Wellness & Mobile Veterinary Care

Our mobile vet team brings high-quality, compassionate veterinary care to you, keeping your pets healthy in the comfort and convenience of your home.

Wellness Care

Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of semi-annual physical examinations (every 6 months) and age appropriate wellness testing with a veterinarian.  Thorough check-ups and preventative care can help alleviate serious health problems. Wellness testing includes bloodwork, fecal exams, and urinalysis to catch issues before they become a problem for your pet.   Preventing disease and early disease recognition will add quality and years to your pet’s life. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best.

More about Wellness Care

Semi-annual physical examinations.

These are extremely important to your pet’s good health. We pride ourselves on looking at your pet as an individual and then discuss medical treatment, health maintenance and lifestyle with you about what is best for the pet and your family. A full exam is done at every visit, and this includes an assessment of your pet’s eyes, ears, mouth and skin, as well as an evaluation which includes the following body systems: cardiac, respiratory, abdominal, urogenital, and lymphatic.

Wellness and Preventative Care Plans

We evaluate pets as the individuals they are.  Each pet’s care plan is   developed carefully after evaluating the pet’s history, lifestyle and risk factors. A pet care plan will typically include nutrition, customized vaccine protocols or titer testing, wellness testing, and behavior counseling, among other topics. We look comprehensively at the factors that go into your pet’s health and invite your questions and concerns.

Customized Vaccination Protocols

We believe less is more. Vaccines are necessary to prevent disease. However, vaccines can also cause problems for your pet’s immune system if not managed in conjunction with overall health. Once yearly, we will assess your pet’s risk factors and determine if your pet needs vaccines, and if so, which ones are necessary. It is important for you to have a clear understanding of which vaccines are offered, what your pet is at risk for, and the relative risk-to-benefit ratio of giving the vaccines to the long-term health of your companion.

Titer Testing

Titer testing is available and helps assess the need of the pet for a vaccine. In a titer test, a blood sample is tested to see if the pet has an appropriate antibody level against the disease in question. If the antibody level is adequate, we can rely on the pet’s immune system to combat the disease and skip the vaccine at that time.

Wellness Testing

Wellness testing includes blood work, fecal analysis, and urinalysis. Wellness testing gives individual baseline data that we can use later as a reference for faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment, as well as serving as a detector of early disease. Depending on the age and health of your pet, we can recommend which wellness profile is best suited.

Individualized Flea and Tick Programs

During in-home appointments, we can create an individualized treatment program with you to help keep your pet protected from fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other potentially disease-bearing pests.  Because many of these pests are now adapting to warming climates in our service areas,  they are a year-round concern requiring a year-round plan. Heartworm, Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis are just a few of the very serious diseases that can be prevented through treatment programs.   We offer a variety of conventional and natural products and will recommend the products that work best for the protection and well-being of your pet.

Sick & Emergency Care

With skilled doctors and well-stocked transits, we are able to treat about 90% of common medical conditions during in-home appointments.  We can take samples for many types of laboratory services in your home and often have the results back to you in 24-48 hours.  Additionally, in-home appointments can provide our veterinarians with the opportunity to observe environmental conditions that may be related to pet illness. Our Receptionists and Patient Care Coordinators are trained to triage emergencies to help you get the best care needed for your pet.  Most things we can handle at home but in some cases we may recommend coming to one of our facilities or going to a specialty center based on the severity of the situation. For laboratory samples that we take at your home, we get pick-up twice a day from the same laboratories that all the local vet hospitals use, which gives us a quick turn-around for results.   We also have capabilities to run blood tests on site at our hospitals for more time-sensitive emergencies.  Visit our Emergency Services page to determine if you have an emergency and for contact information for area emergency veterinary affiliates. 

Veterinary Counseling Services

We offer a wide scope of consultations for both acute and chronic conditions.  Pediatric care, allergies, senior health, lameness evaluations, second opinions, oncology, and behavior are just a few.   If you have any questions about your pet’s health, please don’t hesitate to contact us—you know your pet best and there are no bad questions when it comes to your pet’s health or your peace of mind.

More about Consultations

Chronic disease management.

HousePaws offers in-home consultations to help manage chronic diseases or conditions your pet may have and reduce the number of stressful trips he or she needs to make to the veterinary hospital. We can help manage conditions related to heart, kidney and liver diseases, diabetes, cancer, arthritic conditions and more, and make recommendations of how to keep your pet as healthy and comfortable as possible in their own environment. HousePaws is happy to offer second opinion on diagnosis on chronic conditions which can be challenging for both pet and pet parent, alike.   

Behavioral Counseling

This is a frequently encountered need and one where our mobile practice has distinct benefits to clients. The ability to see the pet in her own environment is a significant benefit when developing a plan of action to defeat a behavior problem. We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, anxiety, and aggression. Most behavior problems can be solved with behavior modification techniques. Infrequently, natural alternatives or prescription medications may be needed for a short period of time. 

Quality of Life

As pets age, their needs change, too. The benefits of a veterinary housecall allow us to see the environment that your pet lives in. We may see things that you may not which impact the every day quality of life of your pet, or conditions can can present special challenges to your pet, particularly as they age or their health changes. 

Diabetic Home Management

Teaching the owner how to manage diabetes at home is important to having a stress-free diabetic pet. We offer training on obtaining your pet’s blood sample, and utilization of a home glucometer system. Frequent communication/consultation between the owner and veterinarian will optimize your pet’s success with this disease.

Dietary Counseling

We will provide guidance regarding your pet’s nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance. A few of our veterinarians have advanced training in Chinese Medicine to take nutritional counseling to the next level!

Mobile Diagnostic and Treatment Services

HousePaws employs a range of diagnostic and treatment techniques in our mobile practice that can be tailored to the needs of you and your pet. In most of our practice areas, our doctors have access to state of the art mobile radiology equipment for advanced diagnostic efforts. A number of our doctors are certified in traditional healing methodologies as well as newer technologies such as cold laser therapy that we have found to have consistent positive results. We are constantly adding to our inventory of knowledge and equipment to offer you the most effective modern and traditional therapies to treat the extensive range of medical conditions we see every day.

Specialized Diagnostic and Treatment Services

Veterinary acupuncture.

Acupuncture is available at South Jersey and Pennsylvania Locations.  (Acupuncture is not yet available in our Bergen County service area). 

Cold Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is an FDA cleared modality that reduces inflammation and pain.   Laser therapy is effective at treating a wide range if conditions including acute pain, arthritis pain, aid in post-operative healing, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions often without use of medication or surgery.

Cold laser, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive procedure that uses visible and near infrared (NIR) light to stimulate cell regeneration and increase blood circulation. Overall cellular function is increased, allowing for rapid absorption of nutrients, elimination of wastes, growth for new cells. 

The many benefits of cold laser therapy include:

• Alleviating chronic or acute pain
• Reducing inflammation
• Reducing swelling
• Increasing circulation of blood and healing factors
• Speeding up healing and recovery
• Releasing endorphins, the body’s natural pain reliever.
• Joint injuries
• Back injuries and intervertebral disc issues
• Ligament or tendon injuries
• Muscle sprains or strains
• Skin lesions or abrasions
• Post-trauma wounds
• Post-surgical incisions
• Musculoskeletal diseases
• Nerve injury

Radiology at South Jersey Locations: X-Ray & Ultrasound Services

In the event your pet needs radiology services, we have high-tech mobile equipment that we can utilize in your home, or you can come in to one of our hospitals for tests. HousePaws South Jersey and Pennsylvania service areas offer mobile x-ray and ultrasound units that can perform tests in your house. (Mobile x-ray and ultrasound are not yet available in our Bergen County service area.) Results are obtained immediately and can be sent to specialists if necessary.    

Domestic/ international Health Certificates

These are needed before you can travel on an airplane with your pet. To obtain a health certificate, your pet must be examined 10 days before you travel indicating that your pet is free of communicable diseases.  We have several veterinarians on our team who have special certification for international travel requirements.

Home Delivery of Medications, Food and Nutraceuticals

Medicine and food deliveries are offered three times a week. Please see our Order Medication/Supplies page for more details.

Prescription Medications or Natural Remedies/Supplements:

These are often given at the time of the visit on a patient need basis. If you need a refill, please call us to order.

Individualized Flea and Tick Control Programs

We develop programs for the specific needs of your pet and your own particular environmental situation. We will review with you the best ways to control fleas in your house, in your yard and on your pet.

Appointment Cancellations

To enable us to provide the best care to all of our patients, please see below for details regarding cancellation of appointments with our veterinary practice.

HousePaws Cancellation Policy

HousePaws Appointment Cancellation Policy

We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or unexpected obligations for work or family.  Cancellations prevent us from treating another patient in need.

We request 12 hours notice for any cancellation.   If a mobile appointment is not cancelled at least 12 hours in advance we will require a cancellation fee equivalent to a travel fee for your area that must be paid prior to scheduling your next appointment.   After a second cancellation of a mobile appointment, without 12 hours notice, you will be responsible for the cost of a doctor’s exam for each pet scheduled and the travel fee. 

In hospital appointments we also require a 12 hour cancellation notice. If an in hospital appointment is canceled for a second time in less than 24 hours you will be responsible for the cost of an exam for each pet we were scheduled to see. 

We thank you for your understanding in this matter.

The Vets Review: Is This Mobile Vet Service Worth It?

Last Updated: May 8, 2024 | 7 min read | Leave a Comment

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn a commission. Here’s how it works .

Is a trip to the vet a stressful experience for your pet? You’re not alone. Many of our furry friends aren’t fans, and this results in major anxiety not only for our pets but for us owners. My home-body pup, Tiny, loathes going to the vet. He’s a trembling mess from the moment he sees where we’ve arrived. My cats fare a bit better with in-office vet visits, but when they’re ill, it’s heartbreaking to have to cart them away from the comfort of home.

Fortunately, the mobile vet industry is on the rise due to the convenience and stress relief that house calls bring to owners and their pets. A leading national mobile vet service, The Vets, may be the solution to dreaded vet office visits. I’ll share what I’ve found in my research about The Vets, including some personal experiences to help you decide if it’s the best option for you and your pup.

The Vets Review

Product Name: The Vets

Product Description: The Vets is a nationwide mobile veterinary service that provides at-home vet care for wellness, illnesses, minor injuries, and more.

The Vets gets fantastic reviews from pet owners for the high-quality, reliable vet care they perform at home. I found the booking process incredibly easy and customer support extremely helpful. However, while they offer a wide variety of services, one significant downside is that no member of The Vets mobile vet network can perform at-home euthanasia.

Overall Score

• Easy booking on website or iOS app
• Ability to have multiple pets cared for in one visit
• Same-day or next-day visits often available
• Can do blood work and some other diagnostic testing in your home
• Vet services and customer support get overall good customer reviews across national locations
• Wellness plan available
• Home visit travel and exam fees are pricey 
• Doesn’t offer mobile vet euthanasia or X-rays
• No Android mobile app

Key Features

• A convenient way to get multiple pets seen in one visit at your home
• All veterinarians are fully licensed
• Easy-to-use iOS mobile app lets you schedule appointments, view lab results, access your pet’s medical history, and more
• You can request a specific vet for appointments
• Total Wellness Plan available for $99 per month : covers wellness checkups, vaccinations, routine annual lab tests, preventative treatment, and telehealth advice
• Customer support and booking agents are available via phone Monday-Saturday from 8am-8pm EST

Where Is The Vets Available?

Founded in 2021 in Miami, The Vets currently offers in-home personalized vet care  for dogs and cats in 19 major metropolitan locations (covering over 240 cities)  across much of the U.S.

• Southeast:  Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa
• Midwest:  Chicago and Columbus
• Southwest:  Austin, Colorado Springs, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and Phoenix
• West:  Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento
• Northwest: Portland and Seattle

What Services Do They Offer?

The Vets offers a wide range of treatments for your dog or cat. Here’s a summary of the services they can provide in the comfort of your home.

• Wellness Exams –  Comprehensive whole-body exams are performed to ensure that your pet is healthy.
• Vaccinations –  The Vets offers routine vaccinations for puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats. These include rabies, parvovirus, feline leukemia, bordetella, and more.
• Sick Visits –  If your pet is feeling unwell, The Vets can examine and diagnose your pet in your home. Diagnoses may involve some lab testing.
• Home Lab Tests –  They can perform routine blood and urine testing, medication blood levels, heartworm testing, evaluation for internal and external parasites, and other tests to identify or rule out certain medical conditions affecting your pet.
• Ultrasound – Ultrasound is an important diagnostic tool for underlying health conditions. This service is only available in select locations so be sure to contact customer support if you think your pet may need an ultrasound.
• Microchipping –  Microchipping is the best way to ensure you can be reunited with your pet if he gets lost. The microchip is no larger than a grain of rice and can easily be placed under the skin during your at-home vet visit.
• Other Services –  They also offer nutrition and behavioral advice, at-home anal gland expression, nail trimming, flea treatment, and more.

What Services Aren’t Offered?

Most notably, The Vets doesn’t offer home euthanasia , while many local mobile vets do. Also, they aren’t able to perform home X-rays or surgery . As with any mobile vet, The Vets aren’t equipped to handle emergency services.

How Do I Make An Appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by calling The Vets’ booking agents or easily make one online. I wanted to see what’s involved in making an appointment on The Vets’ website. Unfortunately, they’re not available in my area, but I offered to help my nephew, who lives in Charlotte, NC, make an appointment for his pup Jazz.

Explain Why Your Pet Needs To Be Seen

When I went online, I clicked on “Schedule an Appointment.” The site asks you a few questions, including the type and name of your pet(s) and the reason for your appointment (wellness & vaccines, physical issue or injury, or sickness). On the next page, you provide your contact information and address.

Choose Your Appointment Date & Time

Once you enter your contact information and location, the site generates a calendar of available dates and times. Then, all you have to do is choose and confirm the appointment. No credit card is required to reserve your appointment, but payment is due upon the completion of The Vets’ visit. You’ll then quickly receive an email confirmation, which requests that you email your pet’s medical records to The Vets before your visit. It also includes a link if you need to reschedule or cancel. Note: Cancellations made less than 24 hours before an appointment are subject to a $75 fee.

Complete Your Pet’s Medical Information

After confirming, I then filled out the Advanced Medical Information , which includes details about your pet’s age, gender, and health issues related to the purpose of your appointment. For example, if you scheduled a sick visit, you’ll provide details of symptoms. The form also asks you about your pet’s aggression or anxiety, allergies to medication, current medications and/or supplements, chronic medical problems, and any other concerns you’d like to share.

I found the entire booking process incredibly easy. There was a next-day morning appointment available, and many dates and times during the rest of the week and month to choose from, including Saturday appointments. You can’t select a specific vet to see online. However, booking agents are available by phone to help you arrange that.

What Happens At Your Pet’s Appointment?

I called The Vets’ customer service to learn more about what a vet’s visit entails in your home. They responded immediately with helpful information. I found the support representative extremely friendly and helpful with any questions I had.

To prepare for your visit, The Vets recommends that you choose a place in your home where your dog or cat feels most relaxed. Once the veterinarian and vet tech arrives, they’ll greet your pet for a few minutes to make him feel comfortable — and with your okay, they’ll give him a lick mat or treat to ease him into the examination. Then, they unpack the equipment they need for the visit, which can include a weighing scale and any necessary assessment tools needed to check out your pet.

The vet will first perform a thorough head-to-tail examination to get the basics and then assess your pet further based on the reason for the visit. The vet tech has a list of other optional services they can perform beyond your immediate needs, including nail cutting, teeth cleaning, flea treatment, etc.

Once your pet’s visit is completed, you’ll need to pay via a credit or debit card. You’ll receive an email detailing your payment and the services provided.

How long do visits typically last? According to The Vets’ website,

• Appointments for one pet last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.
• Appointments for two or more pets last about 45 minutes to 2.5 hours.

Check out this brief video to see The Vets in action in a home environment.

The Vets’ pricing used to vary by location, but now they have set base prices for their travel and exam fees regardless of your location. Keep in mind that these costs don’t include lab tests, vaccinations, or any extra services.

• Concierge fee (home visit travel fee): $199 , regardless of the number of pets being seen 
• Exam fee: $99 per pet

How Does The Vets’ Total Wellness Plan Work?

It costs $99 per month* to enroll in The Vets’ Total Wellness Plan , and you’ll be automatically charged each month. The plan includes unlimited telehealth chat services and guaranteed priority appointments for home visits within 48 hours. It also covers many fees per year, including:

• 3 home visit fees
• 2 exam fees
• All preventative treatments
• Any   core and lifestyle vaccinations tailored to your pet’s needs
• Yearly lab tests and comprehensive lab screenings

*The Total Wellness Plan is structured as a 12-month payment plan, and early cancellation may result in charges for services you’ve used up to that point.

My Personal Experience With A Mobile Vet

When my 16-year-old cat, Cleo, was declining in her health and mobility, I had a local mobile vet come to give her the care she needed at my home. It was such a blessing not to have to take her to the vet’s office. She got the pain meds she needed, and our vet gave me excellent advice about end-of-life care.

Once Cleo’s quality of life had declined too much, our mobile vet was able to provide in-home euthanasia. Although having to put my kitty to sleep was so hard to go through, having her euthanized at home was easier than having to go through that process in a vet’s office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions pet parents ask most often about The Vets. Don’t see yours here? Ask me in the comments , and I’ll help answer your question.

What Types Of Payment Does The Vets Accept?

The Vets accepts all major credit and debit cards at your home upon completion of your appointment. Unfortunately, The Vets doesn’t accept personal checks or CareCredit .

What If My Pet Needs A Prescription?

All veterinarians can prescribe medication for your pet at your home. They can call it into your local pharmacy or order it online through a partnership with MixLab, which offers free, next-day delivery to your home. Alternatively, you can order many dog and cat prescriptions on Chewy for quick delivery.

Does Pet Insurance Cover The Vets & Other Mobile Vet Services?

While pet insurance doesn’t cover travel fees with these services or wellness-related vet care, it may cover exams and lab testing for illnesses and minor accidents. However, you’ll likely need to get in-clinic vet care for more serious health problems during your pet’s lifetime.

Vet costs for severe conditions and accidents can rack up quickly — sometimes into thousands of dollars — so you may want to  consider getting pet insurance . It can help protect your wallet from a major blow while ensuring that your pet receives the care he needs. See our  pet insurance reviews  to learn more.

Alternatives To The Vets

If The Vets isn’t available in your area or you’re not sure if it’s the best service for you and your pet’s needs, be sure to read my reviews of the best mobile vets to see your other options. You may also be able to find a reliable local mobile vet. Another avenue you may want to consider is using an online vet, which can often be a more affordable route. See my reviews of the best online vet services to learn more.

In human medicine, stabilising before stressful transportation is known to increase the rate of survival tremendously. Stabilisation is therefore essential, and our Veteris Emergency Veterinary Surgeon will help your pet with pain management, sedation, shock therapy before informing you about the prognosis and the potential necessity for transport in the best conditions.

Mobile Vet in Hawaii Area

Vets on wheels to save the day, mobile vet in honolulu, hi.

As family pet lovers, we can attest to the numerous ways that pets can make your daily lives much better. Having a pet can make your life healthier and happier. Family pets can sometimes render a source of moral support, thus assisting to strengthen their owner’s sense of well-being and joy. Much like human beings, household pets need utmost care. You must care for not just their health, but their grooming needs as well.

In contrast, instead of the hospital or doctor, your pets have to be brought to the vet on a routine basis. This is one of the essential things you should constantly keep in mind if you desire your cherished feline or canine to have a longer life span. And of course, who wouldn’t want that? There is no question that animal owners in Honolulu, Hawaii like their animals and want them to be happy and healthy. However, some vet centers in Honolulu are far and not easily reachable.

We Come To You!

In addition, some household pet owners find it tough to take some time off their job, social responsibilities, and chores to take their pets to the vet. Not all pet-lovers have adequate time to go on distances or maybe even drive a car to reach a clinic. This is especially bothersome if you are sharing a vehicle with somebody and you don’t consistently have access to it.

If your family pets are rather hard to control when in the presence of unfamiliar people, we have a solution. These, however, should not stop you from having a veterinarian check out your pets.

With the mobile vet services we provide in Honolulu and neighboring locations, you need not leave your house for your household pet’s grooming and health care needs.

More Benefits

Our mobile clinic in Honolulu functions on an on-call basis. When you give us a call, we will get your location and be at your doorstep quickly. You can call us daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Our micro-chipping services are especially helpful for owners with wily household pets. We understand how some dogs and pets are more free-spirited and by microchipping them, you can let them keep their spirit while ensuring that you can always keep an eye on them if you need to.

Mobile animal facilities are likewise essential in disease prevention. Regular checkup will make early diagnosis of health condition possible. This could be particularly beneficial if your pet’s species is susceptible to specific health problems.

Our veterinarians can also offer you the right information on zoonotic illness and ways to correctly look after your family pet. Our time with you is “your time”. We want to leave no stones unturned, so let us know your concerns and we will provide with clear explanations.

Things that You Can Do When  Your Family Pets Required Assistance

Your pet might experience dehydration and fatigue, and these can be fatal. There are also many things completely out of your control like infections, hemorrhage, and health issues.

Just bear in mind that as soon as you observe your beloved pet feeling nervous or wearisome, grab your phone and call our hotline in Honolulu, HI. You and your pet can just simply sit down and await us to show up. At this moment, the recommended option is to keep your canine or your feline hydrated and calm. We will help your family pets feel better, and address whatever illness they may be suffering.

With the innovative way we provide effortless access to pet care services to citizens of Honolulu and nearby cities, your pet’s health and life can be safeguarded. However fear not because our mobile pet vet is here to help you spare your beloved pet from all discomfort and torment. All you need to do is call.

An added perk of availing of support from us is the quality of the vets, as well as the professionals who are running the facility. Because we are proud pet owners, we comprehend. We will make sure your family pet gets the much-needed treatment and care. Not only will she or he receive the required professional care, your pet will feel loved, too.

Please telephone us with any queries you have. Our day is such we seldom have a chance to look at emails until the end of clinical hours. Thank you.

“Bruce Fogle and his excellent team have always gone above and beyond to care for my bouncy Betty. There have been some pretty hairy situations (including what turned out to be a swallowed ball) - and somehow the team remain calm, professional, and deliver the best care. The team have excellent bedside manner - explaining everything in clear detail whilst holding my hand and Betty's paw. I'm forever grateful.

“Our dogs adore going to the vet so much it's almost ridiculous, invariably starting to squeal with excitement at any sign we're turning towards Marylebone and, on arrival, ejecting themselves from the car and dragging us through the door in their hurry to be fussed over by the lovely nurses. Bruce has been our vet since the day we brought our first puppy home in 2006. Together with the other fabulous vets, nurses, and staff at 86 York Street, they've seen our pets through it all, from their very first checks to the sad day when they've needed to be ushered kindly and gently out of pain. Over the years, they've removed a hiking sock from a dog's intestines, dealt with kennel cough, clipped nails, diagnosed giardia, cured a hamster's sniffles, sutured paws, spayed and neutered, referred to specialist vets when necessary, and helped us survive a phantom pregnancy. When one of our dogs was really ill, Helen was an absolute star, not only providing comfort and advice but moving heaven and earth to source a hard-to-get medication for her. And that's not even mentioning the routine stuff—dispensing behavioural guidance, worming tablets, vaccines, and dietary advice, all with empathy, calm professionalism, and good humour. London Vet Clinic is one of the few true, old-fashioned, independent vet practices left in London,and we're incredibly grateful to have our pets in their safe hands.

“Our Jack Russell puppy, Louis, had been quite unwell which led us needing to take several visits to the vet, often in quite fraught circumstances. The London Vet Clinic were always able to accommodate us, even at short notice putting our minds more at ease. The whole team there from the vets, nurses and receptionists were amazing and showed genuine care and concern for Louis. We always felt more at ease when we were there and knew that Louis was receiving the best care possible. Even under quite unpleasant circumstances, Louis learnt to associate the vet as a happy and positive place and whenever we go there now is always excited to see everyone. We couldn’t have made it through this tricky period without them. We are so lucky to have access to such an amazing team of people!

“I love the London Vet Clinic - everyone is always so lovely and accommodating. You can tell they really love animals which is very reassuring when you have to leave your pets in their care.

“My Pug Queenie has been seen by a number of the Vets at the London Vet clinic, all were brilliant, they thoroughly explained all of the procedures that my dog would be having. I’m a first-time pug owner and I have very much appreciated all their help. Queenie’s had her spay & Boas surgery here. Jo was fantastic, she did the Boas, which has been highly successful, Queenie’s been coping well with the extreme heat we have been having. Highly recommended!

“Always friendly and super patient. Always willing to help, and willing to take the extra mile. Never over charge for anything. Very understanding and always shows support. Love the fact london vet clinic is involving animals charity works too.

“Chop is our English Bulldog and she is quite lazy, but she is always enthusiastic to come along to see everyone at The London Veterinary Medicine Clinic as they are all so kind and make anything she needs doing an easy task. The Clinic keeps us informed of all the things we need to do to keep our dog healthy and when, in the past, she has had medical procedures, talk us through the options best for her. Thank you for your help!

Terry Newman

“Well Jane and I have just left the vet today after bringing in our beautiful boy Bruno (a very naughty Jack Russell) Yet again we walked away saying how amazing these guys are at the London Vet Clinic. Generally Helen looks after our boy but everybody there is absolutely lovely. They all seem to be in the right job !! Caring, talented, sincere, friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We are always happy to leave our wonderful dog there to be looked after.. actually last year he was really poorly with Gastroenteritis and they literally saved his life. Thank you all so much…Adam & Jane xx

Adam & Jane E

“The best vet I have ever been. The staff are so nice and attentive. My dog loves going there, whichever of the doctors or the nurses are on duty the atmosphere is always so welcoming and nice. Next year will be my 10th year as a client.

“We were so lucky to have been given London Vetinary Clinic as a recommendation when our first dog was a puppy and since then we have never been disappointed with the care and attention to detail we have received from all the vets there. They have always given us the most upfront advice and options when it comes to big decisions with our dogs health. Never forced views or treatments but given us all the options. It feels like you’re walking in to a practise that is welcoming and caring, a real family feel whenever we have visited. They have always helped immensely and quickly when it comes to insurance claims and travel documents which can be baffling. Because we’ve had such positive experiences and care we have them Reccomended many friends too who are now also patients. We feel very lucky to have such great vets if and when we need them. Thank you all x

Preparing a Pet for a Home Vet Visit: 9 Essential Tips

Table of Contents

Home veterinary visits are changing the game for pet care , allowing our furry friends to receive expert medical attention without leaving their favorite lounging spot. Gone are the days of stressful car rides or anxious waiting room moments!

But as with all good things, preparing a pet for an in-home visit makes things even smoother. Setting the stage for your pet and the veterinarian helps to achieve a successful checkup, ensuring everyone's comfort.

Here's how to prepare your pet for an at-home vet visit:

1. Gather Medical Records

Before the veterinarian arrives, it's a good idea to have your pet's medical history on hand . This includes previous visit summaries, vaccination cards, and any prescribed medication details.

A comprehensive view of your pet’s health journey helps the veterinarian offer the best care possible.

2. Designate a Safe Place

Choose a quiet and familiar space in your home for the veterinarian’s visit. This could be your living room, a spacious bedroom, or any area your pet feels relaxed in.

Make sure that the area is clear so that there is room for the veterinarian to examine your pet as well as no hiding places.  Close doors to other spaces to ensure your pet is present when the veterinarian arrives.

🏆 The goal is to keep the environment calm and stress-free.

3. Stock Up on Supplies

Have essentials like treats, toys, or even their favorite blanket ready . These items can comfort or distract your pet during the examination.

Remember to keep things like favorite treats, towels, muzzles or crates (for pets that might become anxious), and leashes within reach.

🐱 New Kitten Checklist

🐶 New Puppy Checklist

4. Prepare Your Questions

Like a regular veterinary visit, you'll want to maximize the time you have. Jot down any questions or concerns you might have about your pet’s health or behavior.

Being proactive ensures you don’t forget to address any pressing issues.

5. Communicate with Your Veterinarian

It’s important to communicate with your veterinary team before your home visit . Let them know if your dog or cat tends to become highly anxious or tries to bite.

Share anything other information you think is important for your veterinarian to know about your pet. This helps your team to prepare in advance and be better equipped for the safety and care of your pet.

6. Keep Distractions at Bay

Reduce potential stressors by minimizing disruptions . This might mean keeping other pets away, turning off loud appliances, or letting family members know in advance so they can either be present or give space as needed.  

7. Practice Calming Techniques

Some pets are naturally more anxious than others. If your pet tends to get stressed, consider calming techniques .

This could include playing some gentle music, using pheromone sprays, or introducing them to a calming collar before the veterinarian’s arrival.

Does My Dog Have Anxiety?

1. does your dog bark a lot when you’re not at home, 2. is your dog panting a lot more than usual, 3. is your dog destructive when left alone (chewing, digging, or shredding), 4. is your dog having accidents inside the house more than usual, 5. is your dog drooling more than usual, 6. is your dog shedding or losing hair in patches more than usual, 7. does your dog seem like they are on high alert (can’t relax, overly watchful, or pacing), 8. is your dog demonstrating repetitive behaviors (spinning, digging, biting their paws or tail), 9. has your dog experienced sleep changes recently (sleeping a lot more or less than usual), view results, 8. familiarize your pet with the veterinarian.

Let your pet have a casual meet-and-greet with the veterinarian before diving into the medical procedures. A simple hello, accompanied by a treat from the veterinarian, can set a positive tone for the actual checkup.

Our veterinarians use a Fear Free® approach, ensuring a calm and friendly start to each visit. 

9. Provide Quiet Time Post Appointment

After the veterinarian leaves, give your pet some quiet time or a favorite activity to help them relax. Monitor them to ensure there are no post-visit issues and reward them with a treat or play session.

Bringing the veterinarian into your home isn't just about convenience —it's about creating an ideal environment for pet care .

In the familiar and relaxed home setting, your pet remains calm, making it easier for the veterinarian to get an accurate read on their health. For all the busy pet parents, home veterinary services save time and reduce stress, taking out the hectic trips to the clinic.

Remember, when your pet is comfortable, they can truly be themselves, making each checkup much more effective.

Ready to make veterinary visits cozy and hassle-free? Book a home vet visit with BetterVet and let your furry friend receive the gentle care they deserve in their favorite place—their home!

We had a very sick dog last night with an infection, shallow breathing and coughing, it was so worrying. Artemis arrived within 15 minutes. She was knowledgable, caring and inspired confidence, after bathing the dog’s sore paws, administering paracetamol and an anti inflammatory painkiller he calmed down and made it through the night until his own vet could see him next day. We are so grateful.

Wow! Incredible.

I phoned Veteris emergency vet in Shoreditch as I was visiting my daughter in London. They recognised that my dog had potential GDV and it was urgent. They sent a mobile vet (Maela) to my home who scanned her and gave her injections for pain and sickness and diagnosed GDV. She released the air from her twisted stomach which saved her life and rang ahead to Shoreditch hospital. I drove her there immediately and they operated at 3am. She stayed with them for a few days. Antonio and Carlos were so professional and skillful. I can recommend them without hesitation. I was so nervous but they were incredible. They saved my dogs life and my normal vet is very impressed with their reaction and professionalism.

Eternally Grateful

We could not have asked for a kinder, more diligent or more compassionate service than the one Ines provided us with when we needed home euthanasia for our beloved pet. I never expected that such a sad time could be transformed into something so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

PLEASE BE WARNED

PLEASE read my review. Veteris do not provide the service described on their website "24/7 EMERGENCY CARE’. We waited 7 long hours. It was an unforgettably traumatic experience. We called an “emergency service” advising our dog was a large breed, 65 kilos, anxious and could be reactive to strangers. Normally we would sedate him prior to vet appointments, but this was an EMERGENCY and we had no medication. We were transparent with information to enable a vet experienced in canine body language/vocal communication would treat our dog. At no time were we advised they could not accommodate large breeds. We waited 7 long hours. We had calls of updates stating the vet was on the way. However, we had to call constantly to chase them. Angelo was deteriorating fast. On one phone call the nurse asked if we had given the sedative in preparation, when as above we had carefully explained we were unable to do so. This is unacceptable. It appears they only have ONE vet covering the entire geographical range they advertise. Eventually a petite single female vet came. We had expected a team to arrive. She immediately reeled costs before she even checked Angelo. I said we will pay anything, just help him. She replied she had to do this and continued to do so throughout. I had muzzled him and placed him on a lead. She was visibly scared of him and admitted she was frightened. She was hesitant and jumpy injecting the sedative. It took more than one attempt. She hurt a dog already in pain. By this time he was so weak. he could only faintly growl. She was absolutely in no danger. Each time he moved his head she administered more sedation. I believe 4 in total. Eventually she gave him general anaesthesia to carry out the tests. Heartbreakingly, we made the decision to have Angelo euthanized as his prognosis was poor. Angelo was a much loved family pet . To have his last moment of consciousness feeling scared, in pain, muzzled and traumatised, haunts us. it is hard to live with. I will never forget the sheer terror in his eyes. The vet's obvious fear made it worse for angelo and for us. To prevent him from further distress, we asked for him to be euthanized immediately without waking him from the anaesthesia. We didn't get to say a loving goodbye. No pet guardian should experience this. I wanted to keep Angelo home so our cats could see he had passed but as it was a Saturday evening the vet advised she take him as the crematorium is not open on a Sunday. She proceeded with costs and even asked if we wanted to choose an urn. In our absolute distress this felt inappropriate and incredibly insensitive. She went out and returned with a large canvas sheet with handles. I was astonished there was suitable respectful equipment. In shock, I helped place Angelo on this sheet. I am female, 5'4" 61 years old and the vet and I could not lift him. it was midnight by this time and we had to drag my dog along the ground. On reaching the vehicle, it was a small white van. In the back I could clearly see another deceased dog in a bag. Due to lack of space, Angelo was placed on top. It was heartbreaking and disrespectful to drag a loved family dog along the ground and pile him inside like rubbish. I don't not think I will ever be able to erase the memory from my mind. I have since read other reviews and staggered to read this has happened to another client in July 2023 also a large breed. Veteris have not made any improvements to their vehicle or equipment. What if Angelo had needed transportation for emergency surgery? This could have been a factor? The vet did explain each test and stage. I acknowledge her expertise and kindness. She apologised by the van when I broke down. However, she was not experienced in canine anxiety, body language, facial expressions or reactivity. He was too unwell to be a threat. Astonishing Veteris today said “it is rare, statistically, most of the time (generally 95% of the time) not large breeds they see” This is no justification for Angelo’s treatment and end of life. Angelo was in the 5%. He mattered. We explained everything when calling Veteris. Why did they not advise they were ill equipped to help? Unbelievably I found the same heartbreaking events have happened in July 2023, June 2023 and May 2024. It is unacceptable not to communicate so potential clients are made aware of the waiting time, lack of a suitable vehicle and equipment for sick and or deceased pets and make an informed decision if to use Veteris. I was told they listened to our calls and “did not feel it was an end of life” situation! We are not veterinary professionals and called Veteris for an EMERGENCY vet service. How could we know? I truly would not want anyone else to have this horrific experience. It is unacceptable on every level. And my communication with them today confirms my worst fear. Please be aware.

Vile company

Vile company. I strongly advise against using. We used them as recommended by our vet practice , for a home euthanasia of our pet. We waited 9 hours for a vet to come and phoned many times increasingly distressed. They spun absolute bs excuses stringing us along in the most heartless way. Vet was nice but absolutely vile company.

Kindness personified

My 17 year old jack Russell was in steep decline after several seizures over a 24 hour period. I kept hoping that she’d let go, and drift off, but it wasn’t to be. I decided to call the Veteris 24 hour hotline, Brian the person at the end of the line was calm and efficient. Within an hour the kindest, most gentlest person arrived at my apartment. Ewelina was so quiet and patient. We both knew what was coming, but she never rushed me, and let me come to terms with saying goodbye to my loyal companion. I shall never forget her kindness at that most difficult moment, and something I’ll never forget. Thank you Ewelina, and thank you Veteris.

Luca was excellent

Luca was excellent. Both Luca and a lovely veterinary nurse attended to my dog at 2am on the early hours of Sunday morning. She had hurt her eye earlier that day and was unable to open it properly. My dog was treated and provided with the necessary treatment straightaway. Excellent service that I would highly recommend. Prior to Luca's arrival Rachael was also very reassuring and kept me up to date on Luca's arrival.

Today we lost our most loved 17 yr old dog - Binny . The team at Veteris were so gentle, kind & helpful from Luca who visited last night and Maela who helped us so much today as we let our beautiful boy go in the most sensitive, gentle way. Luca talked us through our options and Maela took it completely at our own pace. We will be forever grateful for your help. The nurses kept us informed every step of the way. Fantastic service by truly caring staff.

Outstanding level of care from Ziad

Outstanding level of care from Ziad for our cat he had an incredible bedside manner and was so kind and reassuring. He was extremely careful and left no stones unturned in helping treat and diagnose the issue. While I hope to not need your service again I am reassured knowing that should the worst happen that such kind and professional people are available to assist.

Date of experience : 09 September 2022

For us, the service was exceptional. The vet arrived 40 mins after we called and operated on my dog’s eye at home. My little baby (my dog) woke up in my arms after the surgery and went straight to sleep in his own basket. No other “emergency” vet were available- that was 12AM on a Sunday. I found this company very reliable and would recommend 100%. The bill was also half or what our local emergency vet wanted to charge (“in two days time” when my dog would’ve bled to death) Thank you to the lady vet who attended.

Emergency Euthanasia.

My cat needed euthanasia and Veteris were the only ones who could come over the same evening. The gentleman that came was a nice enough fellow. But it was the way he pulled the cat out of his basket whilst under anaesthetic was a little on the rough side. Then he managed to twist the poor fellows head around whilst turning him looking for his kidney. It felt wrong and a bit rushed. Also I was quoted £400 on the phone and when he arrived he wanted £441. Apparently they do a full quote on arrival. No one explained this on the phone. We had no choice when he arrived but pay the extra. Otherwise it did the job. I know he had to visit other customers, at night there must be other emergencies and ultimately Veteris is a business.

Amazing reassurance and service when you can’t get to the vet. Calm, kind and professional nurse at the end of the phone. Patient, passionate, committed vet carrying out the treatment. Highly recommend.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! PLEASE READ Where do i start, my dog was unwell and had to sadly put to sleep i stressed on the phone that he is a very big dog maybe over 60kg and he would need someone strong to lift him up or even 2 people they said not a problem we will send someone. Hours and i mean hours later a little skinny 20 year old girl, Artemis her name was to come, i said how are you going to get him out she said she will be ok she will call someone. NO MY PARTNER HAD TO PUT MY DOG IN A BAG AND CARRY HIM OUT HIMSELF. YES MY PARTNER HAD TO CARRY OUT HIS DEAD BABY. Then to make things worse i am so heart broken by we was told by this girl that he will be cremated and his ashes will be coming back, well to find out a month later of numerous calls of where my dogs ashes are.. to find out they wont be coming back they have been scattered on the grounds of the crematorium. can i make a point of they dont know where. So now i have no ashes for my dog, yeah nice aint it. Didnt think to tell me until a month later, when they can clearly knew he wasnt coming back. This place is nothing but a money grabbing scam place, dont bother try anywhere else you possibly can because they dont care about your animal at all. So yeah save yourself the heartbreak DONT USE THEM

Lousy unreliable service

called Veteris at 2pm as we found a nasty looking wound on our dog. They said the vet would be with us between 6 to 7pm. Past 10pm called them and they said they had no idea when the vet would come. Lousy unreliable service.

Visit the vet without leaving your home, thanks to chewy.

Have you ever found yourself at three in the morning, Googling “How much grass can my dog eat ?” Or maybe you’ve wondered if your cat’s new obsession with staring at the wall means they’re plotting world domination? (Spoiler: they are). Worry no more, because Chewy can swoop in to save your most perplexing pet moments with their Connect with a Vet service.

Connect with a Vet, a Chewy Service

• Eliminates the stress of traveling to a clinic
• Instant or scheduled consultations; no waiting days or weeks for an appointment
• Generally more cost-effective than in-person vet visits, especially for routine questions or minor health concerns
• “Virtual consults are a supplement to clinic visits” as CarePlus by Chewy does not “prescribe, treat, or diagnose,” per Dr. Bledsoe
• Dependent on a stable internet connection

What is Connect with a Vet?

Imagine having a friendly, knowledgeable veterinarian right at your fingertips, without leaving the comfort of your couch (or bed, no judgment). Chewy’s Connect with a Vet is an online service that lets you chat with licensed veterinarians via video or text. It’s like having a virtual pet whisperer who can decode every bark, purr, and meow right from your laptop or phone.

“Our team is made up of licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians,” stated Dr. Sara Bledsoe, DVM, CVA, CHPV, veterinarian at Chewy . “Online vet visits with our team are a fast, easy way to get answers to your pet-related questions and concerns. Virtual vet professional consults are supplementary to in-office visits.” The only con? “Our telehealth team cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions or prescribe medications for a pet.”

How does it work?

“There are two easy ways to connect with our licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians,” advised Dr. Bledsoe.

“Live Chat consults will connect you instantly, so you can get advice right when you need it. Use the text-based live chat to exchange messages, pictures, and videos with the veterinarian or veterinary technician. Video Consults are scheduled in advance, so you can select a date and time that works best for you. There are usually same-day appointments available, or you can schedule a video call up to 2 weeks in advance. All video consults are 20 minutes long. You’ll be able to see and talk with the online veterinarian, as well as show your pet on camera.”

In short, here’s the lowdown (easy as 1, 2, 3):

• Sign up: If you’re already a Chewy customer, you’re halfway there. Just log in to your account. If not, sign up — it’s quick and painless, unlike trying to get your cat into a carrier.
• Book a session: Schedule a video call or start a text chat. You can do it at a time that works for you — no more waiting weeks for an appointment.
• Chat away: Discuss your pet’s quirks and issues with a real, live veterinarian. The vets are here to help with advice, diagnoses, and even prescription refills.

What does it cost?

“Connect with a Vet live chat is free for Chewy customers,” said Dr. Bledsoe. “The price for a single video appointment (20 minutes) is $19.99,” and you get an “unlimited number of sessions. Connect with a Vet is currently available to customers nationwide except customers residing in Alaska and Hawaii,” unfortunately.

Why you’ll love it

• Convenience: No more wrestling your dog into the car or dealing with a hissing cat at the vet’s office if not totally necessary. Connect from anywhere — your living room, your backyard, or even your pet’s favorite napping spot.
• Expert advice: Get professional advice from licensed vets who genuinely care about your furry friend. They’re like the wise owl of the pet world, minus the hooting. “Our licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians talk through your pet’s symptoms and provide information about illnesses, allergies, injuries, and more,” commented Dr. Bledsoe.
• Peace of mind: Whether it’s a minor question or a bigger concern, you’ll get answers quickly. Think of it as a security blanket for pet parents — soft, comforting, and always there when you need it. It’s also an ideal way to “learn how to support your pet’s well-being at every age, from supplements to dental care,” advised Dr. Bledsoe. “We’ll help take the guesswork out of food and treats for your cat or dog.”
• Affordable: It’s a budget-friendly way to keep your pet’s health in check. You might even save enough to buy that fancy cat tree or those gourmet dog treats you’ve been eyeing.

The verdict

Next time you catch your dog chewing on something questionable or your cat refuses to eat, don’t stress. With Chewy’s Connect with a Vet, expert advice is just a click away. Your pet will thank you with extra cuddles, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. It’s like having a superhero vet on speed dial — minus the cape, but full of wisdom and care.

Remember, in the world of pet parenting, there are no silly questions, only happy, healthy pets. So go ahead, Connect with a Vet, and give your furry friend the best care possible — because they deserve it, and you deserve peace of mind.

Moscow expands online booking of vet visits

April 30, 2019 | 

Issue: Online

Today’s Veterinary Business Staff

Moscow pet owners can go online to make appointments for veterinary care at one of the city’s 27 public clinics, according to the Department of Information Technologies.

Online booking has been available at privately run general practices in the Russian capital since 2014. “Waiting times for appointments with general practitioners have fallen to just one day, while 80% of citizens can get same-day appointments, spending an average of just 10 minutes waiting outside the doctor’s office,” the government reported.

The new online public service was developed jointly by Moscow’s Veterinary Committee and the Department of Information Technologies. Pet owners also are able to schedule home visits for the care of cats, dogs and exotic animals .

Pet ownership in Russia stands at 59% of households, according to the Department of Information Technologies, pointing to data from Levada Analytical Center.

“There are more cats than dogs in Russia,” the department reported. “Moreover, 2 percent of Russian households own turtles, cavies and lizards. One percent of Russian households, or about 1.4 million people, own exotic animals such as snakes, crocodiles and predators as pets at home.

“In 2018, hedgehog owners in Russia announced launching of their separate association, as [the] number of hedgehogs had increased several dozen times.”
