We understand that taking your pet to an animal hospital to see a veterinarian can sometimes be challenging. Whether it’s the stress of travel, managing a multi-pet household, or simply having a pet who gets anxious in unfamiliar settings, the experience can feel overwhelming for both pets and their owners.
That’s why East Hill Animal Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, offers house call services to bring expert veterinary care straight to your home.
Why Choose At-home Veterinary Care?
Not all pets handle travel well. Some may get car sick, while others may feel nervous in a waiting room filled with other animals. For elderly pets or pets with chronic illnesses, the journey to the clinic can be especially difficult.
Similarly, pet owners with mobility challenges or busy households with multiple pets may find bringing everyone to the clinic hard. That’s where house call services can make a world of difference.
At East Hill Animal Hospital, we understand these challenges. Our goal is to make veterinary care as stress-free and accessible as possible. With our house call services, you can relax knowing your pet will receive professional, compassionate care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
How Does a House Call Work?
When you schedule a house call with East Hill Animal Hospital, one of our experienced veterinarians will come to your home with the tools and knowledge needed to address your pet’s needs.
Depending on the situation, the veterinarian can perform many of the same services you’d receive at the clinic. This includes wellness exams, vaccinations, minor wound care, and consultations for chronic conditions.
The veterinarian may recommend an in-clinic visit for more advanced procedures or diagnostics requiring specialized equipment, such as X-rays or surgeries. However, the initial house call is a great way to discuss your concerns, evaluate your pet’s health, and create a plan of action without leaving your home.
The Benefits of House Calls for Your Pet
Pets often feel more relaxed and at ease in their own environment. This allows veterinarians better to understand their behavior and condition in a stress-free setting. This is especially helpful for:
- Senior Pets: Older dogs and cats with mobility issues or joint pain may struggle to get in and out of the car or navigate unfamiliar spaces. At-home care ensures they can stay comfortable while receiving the attention they need.
- Anxious or Fearful Pets: Some pets become highly stressed in the car or at the clinic. House calls allow them to avoid this, making the experience smoother for everyone involved.
- Multi-Pet Households: If you have more than one pet, juggling multiple appointments can be a hassle. With house calls, you can check all your pets during one visit, saving time and effort.
- Less Social Pets: Some pets feel less stressed in their home environment, where they are comfortable.
