Question 7

Do you perform the examinations in the home?

Accepted Answer

Family Companion Mobile Veterinary Care performs examinations, diagnostics, and treatments wherever you and your pet is the most comfortable. For some pets this can be in the house while others prefer to have these services performed in our mobile van.

We ask that all patients are readily available for their appointment when we arrive. This means that we recommend cats are place in a bathroom or laundry room (limited areas of furniture to hide under) prior to our arrival to limit the amount of time needed to find and catch the patient prior to examination.

Question 8

Do you sedate in the home setting?

Accepted Answer

No. Family Companion Mobile Veterinary Care does NOT sedate any patients in the home setting due to behavioral or medical needs. If your pet requires full sedation for physical examinations or diagnostics, it is advised that they seek care with a full-service, brick-and-mortar vet.

Question 9

Do you perform surgeries or dental procedures?

Accepted Answer

No. Family Companion Mobile Veterinary Care does not provide surgical or dental procedures in the mobile setting. These services require general anesthesia and intense monitoring that we are not able to provide in our mobile clinic.

If your pet warrants surgical or dental care, the doctor will advise you of this during the house call and a list of providers for these services will be provided to you.
