What a Typical Mobile Vet Service Looks Like

If you’re someone who’s unable to visit the vet on your own, are in a pickle with scheduling out a day to visit, or have a pocket pet, like a hamster, gerbil, or Guinea pig, then perhaps you should consider using a mobile veterinary service. Here at Creature Comfort, we accommodate your situation while still giving outstanding veterinary services, but we know for first timers using this service that it can be confusing on what to expect.

In this month’s blog, we’re discussing what a typical mobile veterinary service looks like.

Scheduling and Arrival

The process begins by scheduling an appointment that works with your calendar. Our team arrives with all the equipment necessary to handle most routine examinations, wellness checks, and minor procedures.

This convenience means you don’t have to worry about transporting pets that may become stressed in the car or at a clinic.

Initial Consultation

When we arrive, we’ll speak with you about your pet’s health history, current concerns, and daily environment. This is especially helpful because your pet will be inside the home, meaning they’ll be less stressed, and we’ll retrieve more accurate results.

A thorough examination follows, just as it would in a clinic, checking vital signs, weight, and overall condition.

Services Offered During a Visit

Mobile vet services are designed to be comprehensive. While we cannot perform large surgical procedures on site, we can complete many essential services such as:

• Wellness exams and vaccinations
• Preventative care like flea, tick, and heartworm treatments
• Diagnostic testing like blood work and urinalysis
• Care for small mammals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters
• End-of-life care in the comfort of your own home

The Benefits of Mobile Vet Care

The biggest benefit of mobile vet services is comfort for both you and your pets. Pets avoid the stress of travel and waiting rooms, and you can save valuable time by eliminating the need for transport and scheduling conflicts/ Many of our clients also appreciate the privacy and individualized attention that comes from in-home visits.
