Our Process

We recommend bundling your mobile pet vaccinations with your wellness exam. Once you schedule your in-home visit, our mobile veterinarian and technician will come to your home to examine your pet. Our doctor will discuss your pet’s history and determine the best vaccine protocol for your pet before administering any vaccine. We recommend at least one Pet Wellness Exam per year, when your veterinarian can also provide booster vaccines as needed (for an additional cost).  If you are interested in a pet wellness plan that bundles your pet’s preventative care services into one monthly payment, BetterVet Wellness Club may be a great option for you.
