Why Wellness ExamsWhy In-Home Wellness Exams

Keeping your pet up-to-date with regular veterinary wellness exams is one of the most important things you can do for your furry companion. Your pet may need a wellness checkup more frequently if you have a health concern about your pet or if they are due for a vaccine booster or are starting a new vaccine series (vaccine costs are not included in your wellness exam fee). For puppies and kittens, visits may be more frequent.

 

Our ProcessOur Process

Once you schedule your in-home visit, our mobile veterinarian and veterinary technician will come to your home to examine your pet. Some pets have a negative association with carriers, car rides, and vet clinics. Examining your pet at home, not only eliminates stress and fear but also allows our doctors to better assess your pet and make the appropriate recommendations. Book a free consultation with one of our doctors today and together we’ll create a plan that’s best for your pet.

 

Wellness Visits and VaccinationsPet Wellness Visits and Vaccinations

We recommend bundling your vaccinations with your wellness exam whenever possible. Keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations is an essential part of preventative veterinary care. Many cat and dog diseases pose serious health risks to your pet should they be exposed. Luckily, we can bring vaccines to you and keep your pet as comfortable as possible while they are administered. Visit our Vaccination page for a list of common vaccinations for cats and dogs. 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.
