What are the benefits of a veterinary house call?
A veterinary house call offers a range of benefits compared to a typical visit to a "brick & mortar" clinic:
-
Low stress: A house call reduces stress for both you and your cat as neither of you have to leave the comfort of your home.
-
Convenient: Having a vet come to your home eliminates the need to transport your cat(s) to a clinic - saving time, energy, and in some cases, transportation expenses.
-
Personal: A house call generally offers more time and focused attention than a typical clinic appointment.
-
Accessible: For pet owners facing limitations with mobility, transportation, scheduling, or child care, a mobile vet makes quality vet care more accessible.
-
Informative: Much more can be learned about a pet's diet, environment, symptoms, and natural behavior during a house call.

How can I prepare for the house call appointment and what can I expect?
To maximize our time together and ensure the visit is as low-stress as possible for everyone, we ask that you isolate your cat in a bathroom or other small room shortly before the vet arrives. Ideally, the room does not have a bed or couch that your cat can hide under. Spending the first 10 minutes of the visit trying to lure your cat out from under a bed will limit our time together, can be stressful for your cat, and could be dangerous for you or the veterinarian.
​
During the hour before your appointment, we ask that you remain available by phone in case there are delays (e.g., traffic) in arrival time. We appreciate your flexibility with this.
​
Before the visit, please send your pet's previous medical records and list of medications to info@mokummobilevet.com. It is also helpful to have medicines, supplements, and food available to review with the veterinarian during the visit. While we certainly don't need a complete home tour during the visit, it can be helpful for the veterinarian to understand your cat's litter box situation, especially if your cat is going outside the box.
