Case Studies

Here are some success stories from our previous clients who have used our In-Home Sick Pet Visits service:

“I was very impressed with Mobile Vet Clinic’s In-Home Sick Pet Visits service. My cat had been vomiting for a few days and I was worried about taking her to the clinic because she hates car rides and strangers. The vet and the tech came to my home and examined her in her favorite spot on the couch. They diagnosed her with gastritis and gave her some medication and dietary advice. She was feeling much better in no time. Thank you for making this stressful situation easier for both of us.” – Lisa M., Tampa FL
“My dog had been limping for a while and I suspected he had arthritis. I decided to try Mobile Vet Clinic’s In-Home Sick Pet Visits service because I wanted him to be comfortable at home. The vet and the tech were very friendly and professional. They checked his joints and did an ultrasound on his hips. They confirmed he had arthritis and prescribed him some painkillers and supplements. They also showed me some exercises I could do with him at home to improve his mobility. He is now more active and happy than ever.” – James R., Tampa FL
