Home visits

Home visit vet services allow a veterinary professional to treat your pet in the comfort of your own home. For many pets, staying in their home environment can help them feel calmer and more relaxed, making examinations and treatments easier and more positive.

Home visits are ideal for pets that are anxious, unwell, elderly, or unable to travel comfortably. They can also be helpful for routine check-ups, palliative care, or situations where a familiar home environment helps keep your pet calm.

Home visits can also be a valuable option for pet owners with disabilities or mobility challenges, helping ensure pets receive care without added difficulty or stress.

During a home visit, vets can provide a limited range of services, including general health checks, some treatment, and some ongoing care. In some cases, mobile veterinary services can also support in-home euthanasia when a compassionate end-of-life option is needed in a familiar setting.

Home visits may carry an additional fee compared to in‑clinic appointments due to travel time and scheduling. Contact your local veterinary practice, who will provide clear, upfront pricing so you can make informed decisions without uncertainty.

Home visit availability varies between practices and appointments will need to be arranged in advance. If you think a home visit may be the best option for you and your pet, we recommend contacting your local practice to discuss if this is a service they can provide.
