Services
Wellness Visits
Regular check-ups for cats and dogs to ensure optimal health. Our home visits include vaccinations, routine blood tests, and early detection of potential health issues. We spend extended time with each pet to conduct thorough examinations and provide personalized health advice in stress-free environments. These visits help maintain vaccination schedules and identify concerns before they become serious problems.
General Medicine
Comprehensive treatment for common veterinary medical issues at home. We diagnose and manage chronic conditions like arthritis, monitor aging pets, and address acute illnesses. Our mobile equipment allows on-site diagnostics for many conditions, avoiding stressful clinic visits. We create tailored treatment plans while considering each pet's unique home environment and specific health requirements.
Challenging Patient Care
Specialized approach for anxious or aggressive pets. As the only Fear Free-certified mobile practice in NYC, we use gentle control techniques, calming pheromones, and musical therapy to reduce stress. Our methods include pre-visit supplements, strategic positioning, and distraction techniques that help pets associate visits with positive experiences while maintaining medical care standards.
Acupuncture
Ancient Chinese healing practice adapted for pets. We use acupuncture to treat spinal conditions, arthritis, and chronic pain in cats and dogs. This integrative approach works alongside conventional treatments to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Our certified practitioners combine needle placement with modern techniques like cold laser therapy for enhanced pain management outcomes.
Euthanasia Services
Compassionate in-home pet passing assistance. We help families make difficult decisions with honest assessments and emotional support. Our process uses sedation followed by peaceful euthanasia in familiar surroundings. We provide cremation options and respectful handling of remains, with pricing based on pet size and family preferences, ranging from $500$800.
