[NAGDU] house calls from vets?

[Tracy Carcione]

We signed up with a mobile vet service for my old dog Echo.  In her old age,
she came to hate travel of any sort.  Maybe riding in a car bothered her
arthritis, but I think it was also something psychological.
It was great to have the vet come here and take care of her, and, when it
came time to put her to sleep, she was in a place where she was comfortable
and happy.

I should look into it again.  It was a big time-saver for me, not having to
wait for a taxi on both ends of the trip to the vet.

Here in Cincinnati we have a vet who comes to your home. He has a veterinary
clinic he works with when surgeries or more serious things are needed but
for general care he comes to our house. It is a great service. He says most
homes he serves hasn't have multiple dogs.

with a vet who was starting a practice with her husband. She and her husband
had worked at the former vet I went to and they would come to my home  or  I
mean, the place I was staying--smilesometimes, I should try to find them
again and see how they are--smile. But I know of no one here in the States.
I'm just responding because Bianka mentioned that that would be a factor in
choosing a vet...so, Bianka, will vets come to your home in Germany on
occasion, and for that matter, do regular doctors make house calls? Here
they did in the fifties and sixties but that stopped being very common here.

working dogs can usually judge a bit better when the dog is fit to work
after an operation. However, if it's not your first guide dog this doesn't
really play a big role. Service hours and whether you can get to the vet
easily or if he/she can come and see you at your home in an emergency
situations are more important for me. Also, for me, I like a vet who
includes wholistic treatment methods but that's a personal choice I guess.
