Personalized Care

Our veterinarians provide the best personalized care, so each individual pet receives specialized attention that they deserve.

When to Schedule Your Pet's Vaccine Shots

Our veterinary team will work with you to come up with a vaccine schedule for your pet, which is customized based on their age, lifestyle, and geographical location. Typically, vaccines and boosters are bundled with our Wellness Exams. 

Puppies & Kittens

New puppies and kittens are more susceptible to diseases, so we recommend they receive their initial vaccines before socializing with other pets. During a Puppy and Kitten Wellness Exam, our veterinarians will make sure your pet is developing properly and is on track with all necessary vaccines.

Annual Boosters

Annual boosters are an essential component of your pet’s wellness, maintaining their immunity against diseases. Our mobile pet vaccinations will keep your pets up-to-date without the hassle and anxiety associated with traveling to a clinic.

Before Boarding or Travel

If you’re planning a trip with your pet, either domestic or international, specific vaccines may be required. Check travel guidelines beforehand and schedule any necessary vaccinations with us to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience.

After Pet Adoption

New pet parents should ensure that their furry friends are up-to-date with core and non-core vaccines. In-home veterinary care is a wonderful option for new and adopted pets, as it minimizes both stress and disruption for you and them.

What Our Clients Say

Review
Heather Gingerich
BetterVet Seattle

Dr. Shana Kitchen was great. Our nervous dog Lilah had two failed trips to our regular vet where she wouldn’t let them examine her or give her the vaccine she needed. Dr. Kitchen was skilled at getting Lilah to warm up to her and able to giver her the vaccine. What a relief. Highly recommend.

These guys were absolutely amazing! They were patient and understanding of my dog who absolutely is terrified of going to the vet and getting shots. They were able to safely administer the shot that took three other prior visits to other vets that failed with no muzzle. I appreciate "BetterVet" so much!

Staff was very professional and caring. They promptly did a thorough exam and administered the required vaccinations. Very pleased with their services and will reach out to them if a need arises.

I used BetterVet for the first time due to the fact I was leaving town in 3 weeks and my pup needed vaccinations and my regular vet was available on the day I am suppose to leave (3 week wait)! I booked my in home appointment on a Monday and they were able to see me that following Wednesday. They weighed my pup and proved the vaccinations but was also very informative on maintain the health of my furry baby! Gave me lots of healthy recommendations for food and treats. I'm definitely using them again for our next wellness exam!

BetterVet Portland
This was amazing! What a better option for animals than the trauma of a car ride and strange,cold place w/ strangers. They were so attentive, answered all my questions, gentle with the vaccines and didn't try and sell me a bunch of unnecessary pet supplies I don't need. Having the Dr. in your home was the best experience with a vet I've ever had. I cannot recommend them enough! I will make sure to tell everyone that this is an option for your family as many people have no idea this has even become a possibility at a decent price. Worth. Every. Penny.

"The BetterVet team" took excellent care of my dog Gigi. The at-home visit kept my dog calm and anxiety-free. Making an appointment was easy, the help chat answered all my questions about procedures and costs before the booking, and the providers arrived on time and prepared. They put my dog at ease, administered her vaccines like pros, and took a blood sample from my dog's neck so quickly that my dog didn't even flinch! I will be seeing these fine folks again.

They were amazing! Set up to get my pup her first visit and rabies shot bc she gets bad anxiety in the car, they came and treated her so well and patient! She didn’t seem bothered at all, and was even walking to them at the end of the visit! Also gave me so much information on the next year of my pups life, so well worth it!

What more is there to say? They come to your house for the same price as a regular office visit (without scaring the hell out of your pet by bringing it to a place filled with sick and injured animals), they're very professional and friendly, and got my kitty fixed up and vaxxed up. Ten star review!

This is our first time using BetterVet and we are pleased with the visit! This has been the best visit our pup has had. Dr. is professional, knowledgeable and very informative. She helped our big boy feel comfortable and gave him his shots with no issues.

BetterVet Boston
I can’t say enough about BetterVets and the awesome mobile veterinary services that they provide! From their easy online booking to the care they provide when tending to our fur babies to general pet healthcare tips, I highly recommend BetterVets and will be using them again when it comes time for my cat’s annual vaccinations this fall. Thanks again from “Archie” and I and we’ll see you soon!

BetterVet Miami
My dog, Cooper, and I loved everything about this experience!!! Cooper was not fearful or scared and he even was able to receive his required vaccines during the visit. We took care of two birds with one stone. "The BetterVet team" were very professional, and at the same time loving and patient with our dog. They explained treatment very thoroughly and efficiently, with all meds provided during visit. I highly recommend this at home vet experience with them. You and your sweet pet will not regret it!

Included in Our Mobile Pet Vaccines Service

BetterVet offers mobile vaccinations for pets, including core and non-core vaccines. Together, you’ll make a vaccination schedule that works for you and keeps your pet healthy, up-to-date, and protected from transmissible disease.

Core Vaccines

Your BetterVet veterinarian will recommend when and what core vaccines are necessary for your pet.  Core vaccines for dogs include rabies and DHPP (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus). Core vaccines for cats are typically rabies and FVRCP  (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia).

Non-Core and Lifestyle Vaccines

Depending on your pet’s lifestyle and where you live, your veterinarian may also recommend non-core vaccines tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Our veterinarians will advise you on the best options for your pet, but non-core vaccines can often include: feline leukemia for cats, canine leptospirosis, bordetella (kennel cough), Lyme, and influenza vaccines, or even vaccines for specific toxins like Western diamondback rattlesnake.

Ongoing Support

Our veterinarians remain a resource for you even after your appointment. Whether you have concerns about post-vaccine care or general questions about your pet’s vaccination needs, we’re here to provide guidance and support. A virtual vet visit is a great option when you have pet health questions but aren’t sure if they need to be seen for an in-home visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a mobile pet vaccination visit last?

We typically bundle your pet’s vaccines with a Pet Wellness Visit, which usually lasts between 30-45 minutes.

Are your vaccines as high-quality as clinic ones?

Yes, we source all of our vaccines from highly reputable sources only, the same as if we were a brick and mortar veterinary clinic.

How do I know which vaccines my pet needs?

Your veterinarian will work with you to determine what core and non-core vaccines are necessary for your pet, and when they should be administered.

What if my pet reacts badly to a vaccine?

If you are concerned about your pet’s reaction to a vaccine, or they have had a bad reaction in the past, make sure to let your veterinarian know before your appointment. If your pet is showing side effects after receiving a vaccine, it’s always a good idea to check in with us.

What's your rescheduling policy?

We understand that scheduling conflicts arise, and if you are able to let us know more than 48 hours before a scheduled appointment, we can help you cancel or reschedule at no charge. If you need to reschedule or cancel your visit less than 48 before an appointment time, there will be a $75 fee added to your account.

Are vaccines given right after the wellness exam?

We typically administer any vaccinations that your pet needs during their annual or biannual Wellness Exam.

Is the pet vaccination an additional cost to the wellness exam?

Yes, the cost of your pet’s vaccinations is not included in your Wellness Exam fee. We typically bundle your pet’s vaccinations with their scheduled checkup, so that you only need to pay one travel fee.

Does pet insurance cover vaccination for pets?

While pet insurance does not generally cover preventative care like Wellness Exams and vaccinations, many Pet Wellness Plans do.

How often should my pet be revaccinated?

A typical vaccination schedule for puppies and kittens starts between 6 to 8 weeks of age and continues until they are approximately 16 weeks old. After reaching maturity, vaccines are boosted after 1 year, then booster vaccines can range from every 1-3 years depending on lifestyle.
