As a pet owner, you receive unconditional love and affection. In return, you’ll need to find a trusted veterinarian to provide on-going care so your pet stays healthy and happy through every life stage. That said, finding the time to visit a clinic can be a challenge—and it’s stressful for animals, too. Here’s some insight into mobile vets and how they can relieve the pressure of caring for your pet. 

Understanding the Benefits of Using a Mobile Vet

What Is a Mobile Vet?

A mobile veterinarian is fully licensed and does not practice at a traditional clinic or animal hospital. Instead, they’ll come directly to your home to check on your pet as requested. This service is particularly beneficial for house-bound owners, pets who don’t travel well, busy pet owners, and households with multiple animals. It can also be useful for a veterinarian to observe your animal in a setting where they’re comfortable—this is often the only way to evaluate their natural behaviors and temperament, because most animals are frightened and behave differently when they visit a clinic. 

What Services Can Be Provided During a Veterinary House Call?

Mobile vets can provide a myriad of preventative care services from the comfort of your home. As a general rule of thumb, you can call these professionals for routine exams, grooming needs like nail trimming and ear cleaning, vaccinations, blood work, pain management, microchipping, and minor wound care.
