How to prepare

Call us at 850-479-9484 to schedule a house call. We will get your information, confirm that your address is correct, and give you a tentative date and approximate timeframe for our arrival. If you haven't been here, we will send you a link to fill out new client/patient paperwork that must be completed before your exam is confirmed.

We will discuss your visit with the veterinarian performing the house call to determine what they require. Once we have confirmed with them, we will contact you to confirm your appointment.

When we call you back to confirm, we will require a prepayment to hold your appointment spot. Please call us no later than 48 hours to reschedule your appointment to avoid a nonrefundable prepayment charge.

On the day of the house call, we will call you when we are leaving our facility. When we come to your home, we ask that your pet be ready for us to examine in a room that they cannot run out of. If you need to put your cat in a carrier or your dog on a leash, please do so.

If you have other pets, we ask that they be put in a separate room away from the pet we will be examining. This is for their safety as well as for the safety of our staff. If you request a pet to be with the one being examined, please let us know so we can instruct you on what to do. If our veterinarian is unable to examine your pet without the other pet interfering, we will have you put them out of the way.

After our visit, if there are any additional medications or charges, we will have you pay for those over the phone and stop by the office to pick up any therapies the doctor prescribed.

Routine Visits

We can perform basic routine visits like vaccinations, draw blood, take samples to be processed in the clinic, and perform physical examinations. However, we are unable to perform radiographs (X-rays), ultrasounds, or surgery in your home.

Hospice Care

We can come to your home to examine your pet if it is unable to travel comfortably. We will provide instructions on how to make their examination more comfortable when we arrive.
