House Calls

Vet care at home — less stress for pets, more comfort for you.

Some pets simply don’t travel well, whether they’re anxious, elderly, recovering from surgery, or just prefer their own space. That’s why we offer a house call service for clients in Mosman and surrounding suburbs.

Our vets and nurses come to you, equipped to provide a range of services in the comfort of your home.

FAQs

Here are some common questions about senior pet care and our recommendations.

What tests might be recommended?

Can you help with arthritis and stiffness?

Absolutely, we provide various treatments for arthritis and stiffness. Options include medication, supplements, and movement support. Our goal is to enhance your pet's comfort and mobility.
