Fear-free veterinary care for pets who'd rather stay at home
HOME VISITS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
If your pet is or becomes too anxious to be approached safely, pre-visit medication may be required before a house call can proceed.
​
​
​
If appropriate medication is not administered and/or your pet cannot be handled safely, the appointment may need to be rescheduled, and a visit fee may still apply.
​
We will discuss any behavioural or medical conditions your pet may have, and together with your veterinarian, we will determine the best, safest course of action, specifically tailored to your pet's needs.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Appointment
I am equipped with the necessary medical equipment and supplies for your pet’s appointment, as well as species-appropriate treats to support gentle, low-stress handling. ALL MEDICATION MUST BE PRESCRIBED AND DISPENSED BY YOUR PET'S DVM. Any medication, including administration supplies, will typically be provided by your veterinary clinic.
​
Each visit begins with a brief period of acclimatization while we discuss your pet’s current status and any updates from your primary veterinarian. I then perform the required procedure(s) using calm, controlled handling techniques designed to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress. I will guide you through any specific handling techniques that may be required to ensure your pet's comfort during the procedure.
​
All findings, measurements, or observations are reviewed with you before I leave. These are then communicated directly to your pet’s attending DVM to ensure clear and consistent continuity of care.
