In-Home Pet Wellness Exams
Pet Wellness Exams are a key component of your pet’s preventative care and long-term health. During an at-home wellness exam, your veterinarian will complete a head-to-tail exam and discuss your pet’s lifestyle, nutrition, and behavior.
Reasons to Book an in-Home Pet Wellness Exam
- Your dog or cat is due for their routine pet wellness checkup. We recommend the following schedule for dog wellness exams and this schedule for cat wellness exams.
- Your pet is due for a vaccine booster or is starting a new vaccine series.
- You have a new puppy or kitten in the family.
What to Expect From Your Pet's Wellness Visit
Once scheduled, our mobile veterinarian and veterinary technician will come to your home to examine your pet.

If your dog or cat is due for vaccinations, we will bundle this service with your pet’s wellness exam whenever possible (for an additional fee).Should My Pet Be Seen By a Veterinarian?
This is one of the most common questions from pet parents, and with good reason, as it’s natural to worry about your pet’s health and well-being. Our quiz is meant to help you decide whether your pet should be seen for a video consultation, sick exam, or emergency vet clinic visit.

Dr. Allie and Vet-tech Brianna, provided an amazing service for my senior fur baby. I am very appreciative of their professionalism, care, convenience, and knowledge. The information regarding the overall wellness/ care and the appropriate steps to take moving forward to ensure the comfortability for my senior little one was detailed and very reassuring. Very grateful for their support and service. Should you need the convenience of at home veterinary care, please, do not hesitate to contact, Better Vet. Thank you.

Excellent service, extremely nice and helpful.
Melisa Martin
BetterVet Philadelphia
Dr. Coughlin has a gift for working with animals. Our cat, Tiny, has some fear aggression, and Dr. Coughlin was able to give Tiny shots and even weigh her in a calm and caring manner. She also gave excellent care and advice for our older cat, Mr. Whiskers, who had an abscess in his ear. I feel that both of our cats response to being treated in our home exceeded my expectations. I’m so grateful that we found BetterVet.

Wonderful team! Dr. Tisha Posey and team were great. I have a senior cat and they were comforting and it made everything go smoothly for his wellness checkup and vaccines. Really glad to have found BetterVet!
Denise Dougan
BetterVet Portland
Needed a vet to come to my home. Cat detests car rides. Dr. and tech were great! Drew blood for bloodwork and administered vaccines, weighed the cat, and started us on a diet. Couldn't be happier.

Another wonderful experience! I wouldn't trust my Sasha's health care to anyone else. Thanks for taking such good care of her.
Caitlin Brown
BetterVet New York
Team who came to my house was fabulous, and my cat didn’t have to go through a traumatizing car ride. Process was so simple- we got a checkup and some vaccinations. They also do lab work (stool, blood) if you need it. Would recommend.
Carly Melancon
BetterVet Austin
Expensive but worth the convenience and the comfort for my cats to get care jn their safe space. The docs and nurses are always so nice and thorough and don't rush, spending as much time as is needed.
J Scheer
