More about Mobile Veterinary Clinics!

First off- What is a Mobile Veterinary Clinic?

Mobile veterinary clinics are veterinary hospitals on wheels that offer the convenience of at-home pet services. A licensed veterinarian and one or two veterinary technicians travel to your home and provide veterinary care. This is different from a veterinary house call, where the veterinarian usually comes alone and can only do basic exams and treatment, much like a human doctor would when making a house call.

How Do Mobile Veterinary Clinics Work?

An appointment is made easily with the mobile clinic by filling out the appointment request form which will be available on our new website starting in September. Alternatively you can still call to request an appointment as well. Generally, a 24-hour notice is required to avoid a cancellation fee if an appointment needs to be canceled or rescheduled.

The average visit will last 30 to 60 minutes. An adult over the age of 18 needs to be present for the appointment and have the authority to make medical decisions. It is often required that pet owners refrain from using cell phones during the visit.

Appointment availability will be determined by the area our team is located in, as we will serve different areas each day.

Whenever possible, the examination, treatments, or procedures will be performed in the mobile unit. This requires that the vehicle has a safe, level, and legal place to park. A pet carrier is requested for cats, and dogs should be on leashes to move from the home to the mobile unit. If the veterinarian performs services in the home, it’s helpful if pet owners provide a well-lit, quiet area with a soft surface.

Most mobile clinics request that only trained staff handle your pet during the exam and procedures to keep the pet, the doctor, the staff, and you safe. Children should be kept at a distance while the team is working on your pet so your pet does not become excited and the children do not get injured.
