About
Having a vet visit in the comfort of home makes the entire process minimally stressful. Yes, they often still get poked with needles, and there may be other “insulting” procedures, but having these done in a familiar environment makes the whole process a little better. And, without leaving the house, your cat or dog won’t come home “smelling different” and causing potential inter-pet anxiety.
Whatever the initial reason, most people find the best thing about home vet care is the relationship we can build. Appointments are at least 30 minutes, and are uninterrupted. That gives the veterinarian time to get to know your pet, understand your concerns, and explain how we can meet your pet’s needs.
Dr. Louis has a particular passion for senior pets. In the past 10 years, the field of veterinary medicine has come a long way in terms of our ability to manage chronic pain (ie - arthritis) and to treat diseases common afflicting elderly animals. Since older animals may not feel comfortable getting in and out of the car, or walking on a slick clinic floor, home vet care can help them live longer, better lives.

Dr. Louis is an angel. She has been our vet for many years, and now having her come to the house is such a blessing. No more trying to load 2 dogs into the car and then trying to safely unload them. S
