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.
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 beforehand and performed to your preference.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
All prices will be quoted to you either at the time of booking or during the consultation. The goal of concierge medicine is to charge set rates and then take care of the logistics for you so that you can focus on quality time with your pet. Any diagnostics, treatments, or procedures will be quoted to you before they are performed. You are guaranteed a pleasant and smooth experience without the hassle of extra fees.
