Home Visits: Veterinary Care in the Comfort of Your Home
At Tarka Vets, we understand that bringing your pet to the clinic isn't always possible or ideal. While the vast majority of veterinary procedures and diagnostic services require the comprehensive facilities and equipment available at our practice, we recognise that there are specific and personal situations when you are unable to bring your pet to us. In these circumstances, we are pleased to offer home visits, bringing compassionate veterinary care directly to you.
Our home visit service is particularly beneficial for:
Pets with Mobility Issues: Senior pets or those with severe arthritis, injuries, or neurological conditions may find travel to the clinic painful or stressful.
Anxious or Stressed Pets: Some pets become highly anxious, aggressive, or fearful in a clinic environment. A home visit can significantly reduce their stress, allowing for a more calm and effective examination.
Multi-Pet Households: For owners with several pets, a home visit can be a convenient way to have multiple animals seen without the logistical challenge of multiple trips.
Owners with Limited Mobility or Transport: We aim to support all members of our community, and if travel to our clinic presents a significant barrier, our home visit service can help.
Palliative and End-of-Life Care in a Familiar Environment
One of the most profound benefits of our home visit service is the ability to provide palliative care and end-of-life care in a familiar and comfortable environment. When it's time to say goodbye to a beloved companion, being at home can make this deeply difficult experience more peaceful for both your pet and your family.
Palliative Care: For pets with chronic or terminal illnesses, palliative care focuses on managing pain and discomfort, improving their quality of life in their final months or weeks. Receiving this care at home allows your pet to remain in their most cherished surroundings, reducing stress and enhancing their comfort.
At-Home Euthanasia: We offer euthanasia services at your home, providing a private and gentle farewell in the environment your pet knows and loves best. This allows your pet to pass peacefully, surrounded by their family, in a place where they feel safe and secure.
Please note that due to the limitations of mobile services, certain procedures requiring sterile environments, advanced diagnostics (like X-rays or ultrasound), or emergency critical care will always need to be performed at our fully equipped clinic.
If you believe a home visit is the right option for you and your pet, please contact our team to discuss your needs and schedule an appointment. We are here to help make veterinary care accessible and stress-free whenever possible.
