What Our Pittsburgh Clients Say

BetterVet is wonderful. My dogs don’t get all stressed by getting in the car and going to an unfamiliar place. Dr. Olivia is awesome and so great with my pups, as are the vet techs. So happy they’re in Pittsburgh now!!

We had such a great visit! My dog does not love the car, so this was such a great option and I think the doctor was able to get a much better understanding of how he acts in his own home. I highly recommend!
Julia L.
Five stars
Better Vet is an absolute game changer for our two cats. I am so relieved and ecstatic to find a service like this in Pittsburgh. Our cats received their wellness checks AND vaccines from Dr Wilson and Jennifer in the comfort of our home. The cats were calm before, during, and after the visit. Absolutely no drama! Highly recommended, 100% worth it, never heading into the vet office again. Thank you!
