Pet Wellness Exams are a key component of your pet’s preventative care plan and long-term health. During an in-home Wellness Exam, your veterinarian will complete a head-to-tail physical examination and discuss your pet’s lifestyle, nutrition, and behavior, all from the comfort of your home.
Note: Our in-home Pet Wellness Exams include a dental assessment and nutritional and behavioral consultations. Typically bundled in a Pet Wellness Exam for an additional cost are: vaccinations, lab work, diagnostic imaging, and microchipping.
In-home health evaluations are less stressful for pets and pet parents. Pets are more cooperative at home, and a relaxed pet means a more thorough examination.
Save time and avoid the hassle of transporting or commuting with your pet - a better option for pets with special considerations and multi-pet households.
Home exams allow for more individualized attention and care from your veterinarian, away from all the distractions of a busy brick-and-mortar clinic.
Receiving vet care at home reduces the risk that pets (and their humans) will be exposed to contagious illness and disease.
Provide your vet with a comprehensive overview of your pet's health.
Choose a comfortable space for their wellness checkup to reduce stress.
If requested, collect urine or fecal samples for any necessary tests.
From our arrival to our departure, your veterinary team will work with you to reduce your pet’s anxiety, create a relaxed environment, and get a full and accurate picture of your pet’s health.
Once your appointment time arrives, our mobile veterinarian and veterinary technician will come to your home to examine your pet. They’ll bring all the equipment they will need as well as any recommended vaccines, prescriptions, and preventatives.
Once the care team is set up in a spot where your dog or cat feels comfortable, they will perform a thorough examination of your pet from nose-to-tail. They will check all the areas of your pet’s body, as well as:
Your care team will come prepared with common core and non-core vaccinations, and dispense or prescribe flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives, tailored to your pet's needs. Please be aware that these services are additional and may incur extra costs.
During an in-home wellness checkup, your veterinarian will set aside some time to talk about your pet’s overall health, behavior, diet and nutrition, as well as any concerns you may have. This is your time to ask questions and receive expert advice and individualized recommendations.
After your pet’s Wellness Exam, you can visit your Pet Center page on our website or app, where you’ll be able to schedule future visits, view your appointment history, request prescription refills, and schedule follow-ups. You will be contacted with the results of any blood work or other diagnostic testing.
Our mobile veterinarians examine pets in their favorite spot - a comfy couch, a cozy pet bed, or even your lap! See how we work to keep pets relaxed and happy at home.
