House Call Vet Invaluable Service

House Call Vet Invaluable Service

By Cathy Mercer


Many people have wished there was an easier more convenient way for their pets to be seen by the vet. A blessing for all, a house call vet is now available and at your disposal. Making life easier for both owners and animals, veterinarians are now becoming more and more mobile and making house calls.

The doctors of veterinary medicine have seen that it is easier on the animals and sometimes even the owners when they make house calls. The animals are more comfortable in their familiar surroundings and most everything that can be done in the office can be performed in a mobile unit. These mobile units are equipped with essentially the same things the office has, except it has wheels and is mobile.

Animals like humans can become nervous and scared. There is also the possibility of them becoming sick from the movement of being transported. A sick, scared animal does not always make for the best patients. Humans may become resistant when scared or nervous, where animals may become aggressive and try and harm the people taking care of them. This can become a dangerous environment for the people and animals involved.

A feeling of comfort and security is what is driving so many practices to offer the mobile veterinary services. It is more flexible with appointment times and many offer weekend services and emergency services. They are especially nice for anyone that has to euthanize an animal and wants the animal to die peacefully in its home settings.

There are some doctors that will make house calls as a courtesy. These veterinarians usually just carry the basics with them and if they find a more thorough examination or testing is needed they require the animal to be bought into their office. This is not always easy on the animal or the owners which is why many vets are moving toward having the mobile offices.

There are still some house call vets that do not have mobile units; they just carry the basics and do what they can without the modern conveniences of x-ray equipment or onsite laboratory analysis. These are the vets that come to homes as a courtesy and if anything of significance needs to be done, it is performed in their office.

The doctors with the mobile units have the advantage of having everything they need such as a readily available x-ray machine, and often times onsite lab analysis. They have everything you would find in the office in these fully equipped trucks. This is what many people are using today.

The up and coming rave in veterinary care is the house call vet. The mobile units boast modern amenities with the convenience of coming to you. A blessing for many people and a relief for many of the animals that are having to be checked. Once you give a house call vet with a mobile unit a try, you will never go back to the regular office visit method of veterinary care.
