The Visiting Vet Service was established in 1991 by Dr. Melissa Shapiro. The purpose was to provide individual, compassionate, caring medical attention to clients and their pets, in the comfort of their own homes. Since then, the practice has grown and changed but the philosophy has not. We take care of our patients as if they were our own.
Routine checkups and vaccines, as well as examinations for simple medical issues, can usually be provided in your home. Elderly and disabled patients that are difficult to move also benefit from house calls. Many pets find a house call to be a much more comfortable experience than a trip to the vet hospital.
When a hospital visit is necessary, we arrange our own appointments and we meet you there or give you the option of dropping your pet off if that is more convenient. Either way, your pet will continue to receive the same personal care he/she would receive during a house call.
