Housecalls
Veterinary house calls are services where a Private Roots veterinarian provides medical care for pets directly in the owner’s home, reducing stress for animals and offering convenience, such as in-home wellness exams, vaccinations, and euthanasia. They are ideal for anxious pets, multi-pet households, or owners with mobility/time constraints.
