As a purely housecall practice, The Traveling Vet brings high quality, compassionate, up-to-date care to your pet in its own surroundings. We offer routine care as well as diagnostics and treatment of minor injuries, chronic diseases, skin problems, eye and ear problems and almost anything that does not require hospitalization.

We do provide surgical services one day per week at a local animal hospital. Your pet can be picked up in the morning, transferred to the hospital for xrays, surgery, ultrasound evaluations, or other procedures that require the use of a hospital setting, and will be returned to you the evening of the same day.

Our objective is to provide the best possible medical treatment to your pet in the least stressful manner possible.
