Vets To Go

I signed up for a new account today and they sent the vet out to microchipped my 8 week old puppy jasper and do the physical exam.
The vet was very pleasant to deal with and explained everything in detail that I would understand.
You could see the vet loved being with the animals and loved what she does for a living.
I would highly recommend this agency for the care of your pet and you can mention you seen my review.
Thanks for the great service Patty.

We recently had to say goodbye to our lovely dog of 14 years, and we couldn’t bring ourselves to do it in a cold vet office. Enter Vets to Go. We did a lot of searching, and this seemed like the best option for us. We had a first appointment, and the vet was kind, caring, and comforting. She was so great with our dog, as well as our young cat, and provided the information we needed while doing a full exam (with no waiting room!). A week later, we had to go ahead with the euthanasia appointment, and Dr. Paty was wonderful. You could tell she really cared about animals, and that while it was hard for us (as well as her), this was the right decision. I can’t even imagine how difficult it would have been to have our final appointment elsewhere, and while we don’t look forward to ever doing it again, we know we’ll be in good hands with Vets to Go. We will also be switching our cat over to Dr. Paty and Vets to Go, as the convenience, comparable cost, and friendliness cannot be beat.

We have had 3 visits with Dr. Tegan from Vets to Go now for our cockapoo puppy and we have been nothing but very impressed and satisfied.
It is very easy to make an appointment either through phone or email and their availability is great as we have always had weekend appointments in the mornings.
Not having a car, having the vet come to you is not only convenient, it saves us the hassle of having to wait with a stressed puppy in an unfamiliar room and have our puppy comfortable in his own space. Dr. Tegan is always prompt and we never feel rushed during the appointment.
Dr. Tegan was not only very friendly and great with our puppy, but also took the time to answer all our questions as well as educate us on various health issues we would not otherwise have asked about. We always learn something new during our vet visits.
The price is affordable and it includes a nail trim and anal gland expression as needed. After the visit, we receive an emailed report and there is never a hassle getting out questions answered.
We will definitely keep using Vets to Go and we highly recommend them.

I came to Vets to Go initially for the convenience – to diminish my cats’ stress as much as possible. Dr. Linda was the most gentle, conscientious, informative, patient, preventative-​minded veterinarian I’ve ever had. (I’ve had cats for 30+ yrs.) Finally, it was time to face that dreaded fact: both my 15-​yr-​old cat and my 21-​lb cat desperately needed their teeth cleaned & a few teeth pulled (both at risk for such a procedure). The procedure was a few days ago, and Dr. Kristi (Dr. Linda is on mat leave) and Christina and the whole staff were top notch. Not only did they take EXCELLENT care of my boys – who came out in such great shape and ready for a long, more comfortable life – but they took good care of their very tearful, anxious «mom» as well. The phone calls, the details about what was happening/​how things were going, the awareness of the boys’ very different personalities based on just a few hours with them – I have SUCH GRATITUDE for Vets to Go and SUCH CONFIDENCE in them. I can’t speak of them highly enough. Come for the convenience, stay for the quality!

This was Dr. Wendy’s first visit to our baby (cat) and we were floored. Vets to go is wonderful. It is a true service when vets understand that seeing a cat in their environment is important. And Dr. Wendy is compassionate, efficient, confident and reassuring. I hope to have found our vets for life.

Vets to Go paid a visit last week to look at my senior dog and have to say, amazing compassionate service. The booking process was very quick, simple and straightforward. The Doctor who came was very professional and thorough with the exam. The follow up call to review lab results was very much appreciated.
Thanks!

The Vets are great But the support staff are awesome! Christina is amazing and so compassionate. She goes way beyond her job requirements. So a Hugh Thank-​you Christina and thanks for your genuine concern for old man Diesel!

I don’t have a car, so it’s very very convenient for me to have a vet come to me! I had Dr. Erin come see me and my boy, Angel. He is currently in renal failure, and I will have VtG come back when it’s time. In the meantime, Dr. Erin was very helpful with extra suggestions… and not pushing me to add more tests, even when I asked about them. I also like that they don’t sell vet food (though this wasn’t an issue/​concern for this visit), so they aren’t going to push that food on pet owners.

Wow! Professional, kind, knowledgable, helpful — spent a lot of time with us, didn’t want to rush out the door…
Fantastic! (and I was skeptical).
I am a dedicated client– forever!!!

Love vets to go! Dr. Wendy was absolutely great with our puppy. It is so nice to not have to bring our puppy to the vet office where she definitely be stressed out. Great prices, and very friendly and professional service. Super personal to have your vet be able to check out your dogs home, food, habits ect… I will be recommending this company to all pet owners. They also have a great referral program! Thanks Vets To Go!

Good concept because of convenience, but would not recommend this service beyond shots or simple checkups.
Our dog had a limp on a Thursday, which didn’t go away for 3 days so I had Vets to Go come by and have a look. 30 minutes and $ 250 later I was given a «best guess» at diagnosis and a referral to one of the most expensive vets in the city to verify diagnosis. Vets to go simply does not have the equipment with them to provide a proper diagnosis, yet charges premium prices. I definitely wish in my case I would’ve just went to a real veterinary office in the first place.
While Dr Jody was very nice, and I’m sure a decent vet, I could only recommend this sort of service for very simple treatments such as shots or a quick checkups.

This service is a god send. My vet (Dr. Jody) took her time with my kitties, was compassionate, kind and thorough. Not only did she answer all my questions — she took time to review my cats current diet, recommending some better options and summarizing everything we discussed in a comprehensive receipt. For those of us who understand the stress of travelling with your pet to the vet that alone is worth paying a wee bit more for the mobile visit. That said, it was excellent value — 2 cats, both complete exams, nail trims and one vaccine each came to $ 267.00 — Excellent value. Highly recommend this service, the staff and the concept.

On Sunday I discovered that my cat was very ill. My best friend’s mom uses Vets to Go and she recommended I call them, as their costs are lower due to the lack of overhead. She also gave me a card worth $ 50 off my first visit.
I rarely go to the vet because my cats are indoor cats, and when I do — it’s often stressful for the one that was ill. He was a nervous Nellie and didn’t really like strangers, especially in a clinical type environment.
I called Vets to Go on Monday morning and they booked me in for 3 pm. A bit later I got a call and they asked if I minded if the vet came earlier. (I never have an issue with that! haha.)
Dr.Jody came promptly at about 5 to 2. She came in and came downstairs and looked at Winston and diagnosed him right away.
The diagnosis was awful, but Dr. Jody was very professional. She let us know about all of our options, she made several phone calls to get me as much information as she possibly could so that my ex and I could make the right decision regarding the well-​being of our cat.
Unfortunately we decided to go the rout of euthanization. Dr. Jody was amazing. She comforted our cat, and gave us words of comfort and encouragement.
I’ve had to put a pet down before — but never a pet that was solely my pet. It’s always been the childhood family pet. So it wasn’t my decision or my responsibility. This was very difficult and it could have been much worse if the vet was cold and uncaring, but Dr. Jody was awesome and made me feel a lot better.
I highly recommend Vets To Go, especially if you have nervous pets. But also because they typically cost less, and they’re awesome. I will be using them for my other cat, and my dog.
Thank you Dr. Jody & Vets To Go for providing me comfort when making a hard decision.

My cat is terrible with vets. No, really, she’s bad. And if you want to challenge me on that, I’ll take it!
Taking my kitty to the vet has become a source of stress for us both — I actually hadn’t taken her for four years because I couldn’t face the ordeal. Since she’s an indoor cat, not too much of an issue. But she’s almost 8 years old and I know she should get checked out since she’s moved into senior territory.
I figured that having a mobile vet come to my house might make Twixie a little more comfortable and eliminate some of the stress. Boy, was I wrong — but not the fault of the vet.
Christi came in (a little late but I’m terminally late so I was okay with that), we did a history & background on my kitty. And then she approached Twix. Managed to do a flashlight in the eyes before the hissing and swatting started. I won’t go into the gory details, but, as expected, she went ballistic. I’ve got a couple of scratches however we did manage to stick her with the two vaccinations. No physical exam was possible.
I was ready to give up a couple of times but Christi was very patient and calming. She obviously has a lot of experience working with difficult animals. She confirmed that sedation will be the only way we’ll get a physical exam or blood work from my kitty. The entire visit took about an hour. And I was shocked that there’s no charge for «emotional damages» on the bill for having to deal with my cat.
I’m not 100% that we’ll go this route again because I think the trauma of being «attacked» in her own home, plus having the dog hear the whole episode from another room, was too much stress for my household.
But for anyone who has a nervous pet I’d completely recommend it — definitely worth a try and likely takes most of the stress out of the experience for other animals (and owners).
Review #28 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012

Vets to Go is a brilliant concept-​basically vets that make house calls for everything from looking at an injury to annual check ups. Why is this good? I’m the owner of a leash reactive dog. In my dog’s case, she enjoys playing and greeting other dogs so much that she becomes intensely frustrated when she is restrained. The result is barking, snarling and a very stressed out dog. While I continue to work with her on this, taking her to the regular vet where we can’t control other variables (other dogs, small spaces) is stressful at best. So as you can imagine I was quite intrigued about this service. The other added bonus is that they do appointments in the evenings and on weekends, 7 days a week (depending on availability). And yes, they do cats too, which is how I found out about them :)
The vet arrived promptly, at our exact appointment time (already had one up on most regular vet visits with that). She was friendly, let both my dogs check her out. She took down a brief history on the patient and asked if there were any concerns or issues. She then did a thorough exam (just as much if not more than they’d get at the vets office). My dog rolled around the kitchen floor, basking in the attention, occasionally dolling out kisses. At one point, she was so relaxed she dozed off. She then received her annual shots without so much as a twitch and earned several hypoallergenic dog biscuits for good behaviour. I then got a thorough rundown of her health and a recommendation on a dental food product I could get at any pet store to keep her teeth clean-​no hard selling of products! She also let me know about optional vaccines without being pushy.
They even bring a portable credit card/​debit machine! The cost of the visit was the same as a regular vet visit too. She let me know all records would be emailed within the week and I could always ask for copies if I lost the email later.
When the visit was done, she asked if our other dog could join us so they could both have treats and see each other was okay. They loved that ! I mean, who doesn’t love a cookie bearing visitor that scratches your belly? The whole visit was less than 30 minutes and zero stress. Whether you have a perfect dog (or cat) or one that needs a little work like mine, I highly recommend this service.
