InstaVet House Call Service

This is a priceless service for anyone with a busy schedule and/​or pets that get stressed going to the vet. It has saved me hours of time, and has eliminated the horrible stress of being stuffed in carry crates for our cats. Instavet sent a first-​rate veterinarian, Dr. Leshanksi, to see our rescue dog who has had many health issues. All our pets love him. Eli responds quickly to email and the whole system makes pet ownership in the city much much easier.

The staff is attentive and supportive, they are very willing to listen when you call in order to provide the best care options possible. The vet was very experienced and knowledgable, he also explained every step of the visit to me so I was not left in the dark as to what was going on. My dog is blind and very scared around the vet as it is so taking her to a veterinarian’s office with other terrified animals is the last thing I want to do. Having a vet that comes directly to my home at a time that’s convenient for me is so helpful and so appreciated. She was calm and comfortable at home and as a result the visit went really well. I’m really glad a service like this exists.

My fur baby Dolce died yesterday, it was the saddest thing in the world. She was diagnosed with Chronic Heart Failure in April 2015 and this past Thanksgiving she was hospitalized and in an oxygen tank for five days. She managed to pull through and come home with me and we had another happy two months until this weekend. I was afraid no one would be able to come by my apartment and do an at-​home euthanasia on a holiday weekend after midnight, but Instavet managed to send over a really great vet (Dr. Leshanski) at a moment’s notice. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Instavet — I would have had to watch Dolce suffer overnight, which would have been horrific. I’m so glad that something like Instavet exists, thank you!

Eli was very attentive and sent the most amazing vet in NY to our home on the most difficult day of my life. Thanks Eli

I did not actually use the service, so I am giving it four stars based on the phone consult. These people are very professional, prompt and caring. It was a sunday, and my 14 year old orange tabby had not been eating or drinking and hadn’t moved from one spot for more than 24 hours. He is my baby and I was going nuts worrying. My regular vet, which was actually open would not see him (which i am furious about). They directed me to an ER which i have used before and is both horrible and expensive. I was not going to take him there. Anyway, first Eli, the concierge took my call immediately and gave me some advice. Then the doctor called me and offered to come, even tho at that point it was late at night. He did advise me that even if he could diagnose him, I would still have to go to an actual, vet, so instead of just taking my money, he said i should either go to a different ER or wait til the am for a regular vet. I opted to do that latter, and went to a different vet in my area rather than the one who turned my poor kitty away. It turns out it WAS an emergency, not me being paranoid, so its pretty bad what my original vet did. In any event, Eli then followed up with me AGAIN, so make sure the doctor called me, again offered that the doctor could come anytime. I am so grateful for the compassion these people showed, which helped me get through the night waiting and praying my sweet boy would make it til morning. I would definitely call them again for any reason, possibly even regular checkups since both of my cats hate getting in the car! Thank you InstaVet!

The service was excellent. Due to my insane schedule last month I had no time to take Felix, my cat, to the vet. InstaVet sent a first rate veterinarian to my apartment, and the people at InstaVet then helped to provide the transportation for his visit to get his surgery, and then brought Felix back home again. They totally worked with the demands of my work schedule. The people who work with this service were also compassionate and emotionally supportive to me.

They were great. The vet same day and right on time and it was quick and easy. I will use them again.

friendly and patient staff. I never felt rushed. Timely service and very knowledgeable. Great job on my puppy.

Found the service to be AMAZING. Our dog JZ a golden retriever is a nightmare in cars and gets very nervous, having to take her to the Vet is a real hassle. This service sends the vet to you. The doctors were amazing. Gave her a excellent check up and prescribed some medicine. I would highly recommend this service.
