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.

Our Mobile Pet Vaccination Process

BetterVet’s stress-free mobile vaccines for dogs and cats help to ensure your pet’s health and safety.

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.

The vet and technician showed up on time and prepared. They were efficient in carrying out the examination and vaccination. In summary they were professional and time efficient. They cared for my cat well.

We had a very positive experience with "the BetterVet team". This was a first visit, annual exam and a couple of vaccinations. They were on time, handled Hannah very kindly and it was a 5 star experience. We'll continue to use BetterVet.

BetterVet Eugene
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!
Astrid Hale
BetterVet San Diego
WOW! My cat is extremely skittish, even around us. She sat in the vets lap for 20 minutes along with the noise of the new construction of our home. 3 vaccinations later she was still chill. Compassionate, efficient and thorough. Many thank yous.

BetterVet Chicago
Thank goodness for this wonderful at home service. I have a young dog who was mistreated at a nail trim and now is very fearful of any vet or grooming services. Our regular vet suggested trying a mobile service as our last hope for care. "The BetterVet veterinarian" is so kind and patient and helped formulate a plan that worked - even after a round of vaccines where my drama queen puppy sounded like he was being murdered, she said “that went great!” She and her team are miracle workers. Yes, you will pay a bit more than in-office vet services but you are getting a lot more. I would give 10 stars if I could.

"Our BetterVet veterinarian" is an amazing vet. We were in a jam and she came to the rescue in helping us make sure our dogs were vaccinated before getting boarded. She went way above and beyond. BetterVet has been a great experience for us so far.
Dave & Dorothy Graham
Best possible experience! Our older cat, Joel, doesn't travel well and hadn't seen a vet in a long time. We felt that the best way to get his vaccinations up to date would be using a mobile vet service. Joel was terrified but everything happened so quickly and professionally that he barely noticed. A quick pre-treatment of Benedryl to relax him, the rest of exam went very smoothly. We will definitely use this service again and recommend it to our friends!

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.

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.
