Homecare Vet to Pet
At home visitsWe’re here to help you with the demands of a busy life, and with changing circumstances. We want your furred, feathered or finned family members to lead happy and healthy lives.
At HCVTP the top five reasons our clients give for a home visit are:
- Consistent personal attention
- Convenience
- Euthanasia
- Mobility and transport difficulties
- Stress – for animals and their humans!
Homecare Vet to Pet is a by-appointment clinic operating in Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
Services
Health Checks
Just like humans, animals need regular health checks – prevention is so much better than cure! We recommend annual checks for healthy adults, moving to twice yearly for seniors, and possibly more frequently for geriatric animals. Animals with ongoing medical conditions and long-term medication will need more frequent veterinary visits.
Medications
We stock a range of commonly used medications. Some medications need a special order – ideally let us know when you have seven days’ medication or prescription diet remaining. Please don’t substitute human medication for registered veterinary products – the differences could lead to avoidable problems.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are essential to keep your animals healthy and free from preventable disease. We send reminders by SMS, so help us by updating or checking your mobile number at your next appointment. Vaccination appointments for healthy adult animals are ideal opportunities for a comprehensive veterinary medical check-up.
Our Special Interests
The geriatric patient
Medical management of the geriatric companion animal is a rewarding and evolving field. Modern veterinary medicine offers a range of effective treatments options for many medical conditions which can be tailored to your pet.
Euthanasia at home
In-home euthanasia is a service we are privileged to offer. Parting with a beloved four-legged family member in a timely and peaceful manner is the last important thing you can do for your pet. We encourage owners, families and other pets to be present, if they wish, and will manage the procedure in a staged, gentle and respectful manner.
Nutrition
The importance of a balanced, age-appropriate diet cannot be overstated. We can help you select the best diet for your pets according to their age, breed, level of activity, medical needs and your budget! We don’t promote one brand of food over another, but will provide you with the facts you need to make an informed decision.
