Do you or your pet have limited mobility? Is transportation an issue? We want to make sure your pet gets the care he or she needs when they need it, which is why Close To Home Veterinary Care offers house calls!
House call services offer most routine veterinary care including:
- Wellness exams/illness evaluation
- Vaccinations
- Testing/sample collection
- Topical treatments
- End of life care (euthanasia)
If your pet needs more involved services such as surgery, dental procedures and advanced diagnostics (ultrasound, X-ray, etc.), a visit to the veterinary hospital will be necessary.
In-Home Euthanasia
It’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved pet, and we want to help make that difficult time easier on you and your animal companion, so as part of our house call service we offer in-home euthanasia.
We know it won’t be an easy call to make, but please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 775-977-1200 if we can assist you with end of life care for your pet.
IN-HOUSE LABORATORY
Close To Home Veterinary Care has the capability to perform various blood tests, pre-anesthetic bloodwork, and other types of testing on site instead of sending samples to an outside lab. This saves time, money, and most importantly, you don’t have to wait over night for results—meaning your pet gets a diagnosis and needed treatment sooner. Testing provided in the hospital includes:
Chemistry Panels
· Liver enzyme screening
· Pancreatic evaluation
· Renal (Kidney) profiles
Wellness screenings
· Complete blood counts
· General chemistries
· Blood gases
Viral screenings
· FelV, FIV in cats
· Parvovirus in dogs
While we do offer an extensive range of on-site testing, it is possible that your pet may need laboratory work beyond our scope. For those cases, we are happy to send blood work or other testing to an outside lab that will send results back to us.
For more information on our in-house lab services or to schedule your pet for testing, call us at 775-977-1200.
