HOME VISITS - WHAT WE DO BEST:  

A thorough physical examination with lots of time for a full history- and in the comfort of your own home - is the single most important procedure your experienced and caring veterinarian can perform! 

   

   

We always attempt to perform this at the time of the visit, no matter the reason of the consultation; whether routine or more urgent! This examination together with a full health history of your pet, is the two main reasons why our average consultation time is 20-30 minutes - or more if need be.

 

It is through the physical examination that a majority of diseases may be detected, often in the early stages. Our aim is to promote the practice of preventative medicine- this is the key to good health, longevity as well as improved quality of a hopefully long happy life- and this will benefit both you and your pet - and especially when your pet becomes a senior. We believe that a thorough physical exam is instrumental in the practice of high quality preventative veterinary medicine.

 

Equally important is it that both a routine consultation at the time of for an example a booster vaccination or an emergency consultation for your ill pet when he or she is feeling low or injured, includes a full physical examination and complete history but all this is conducted in the comfort of your own home without having to add to the worries by moving or transporting your pet to a hospital or to a practice- or even having to clean the car afterwards for various unpleasant proofs of high stress and travel sickness of your pet!

 

We believe that by evaluating your pet in his/her natural environment at home, it is possible to obtain a more accurate diagnosis of existing or potential diseases and easier to address and solve your concerns in your pet's own home.

We do think merely the immense stress and the potentially detrimental effects to the immune system of hassling to the vets when dealing with a very nervous, extra delicate, ill or just frail elderly pet having to make that devastating journey, unnecessarily will add to compromising these pets' health issues further.

This is why we think every such pet (or pet owner even!) deserves to consult a qualified and experienced vet in their normal safe and un-stressful surroundings- at least initially.

If we find reason for further in-depth investigations, surgery or work-ups we are more than happy to find a suitable referral practice to match your requests for either specialist knowledge or a second opinion. We do not necessarily believe in extensive- and expensive- investigations at any price at any time- especially your pets! We believe in finding EXACTLY the solution that meets yours and your pet's need-not the vets!!

 

For all these reasons, we in VETS2HOME have "moved the veterinary consulting room" into your living room (or kitchen or lounge or garden) -or where ever your pet feels most comfortable and relaxed.
