5 Mobile Veterinarians in Austin to Minimize Your Pet’s Stress

July 22, 2020 by Brittany Ballard 2 Comments

Mobile Veterinarians in Austin Texas

Anyone who has a furbaby will agree that our pets are among the most wonderful treasures in the world (even if they cause mischief every now and then). But getting them to the vet can be stressful for everyone involved–furry family member and owner. Luckily, there are multiple businesses in the Austin area that offer mobile veterinary services! If you’re looking for a less stressful way to fit in annual or routine appointments, read on to learn about five local mobile veterinarians who provide gentle house calls for you and your pets.

1/ Doctor Bendall’s Veterinary Housecall Practice

Dr. Matt Bendall started his mobile business with the belief that there is an easier way to provide quality care for pets– and it’s by offering veterinary services in the pet’s familiar environment. Dr. Bendall graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007.

His care is designed for geriatric or handicapped patients, busy owners who are unable to clear their schedule to take their pet to the vet, and pets that would experience less stress by having a house call appointment. His full services include:

  • Complete physical examinations
  • Annual diagnostics
  • Canine and feline vaccinations
  • Specialized diagnostics (such as specialized bloodwork panels or genetic testing)
  • Consultations
  • Minor sick pet evaluations
  • Gentle in-home euthanasia

Expect your first visit to last between one and two hours.

Housecall fees begin at $50 for service within a 10-mile radius of Dr. Bendall’s clinical office. The fee increases with farther distances. This mobile veterinarian does provide after-hours visits, but works primarily during normal business hours from Monday through Friday.

  • Basic vaccines
  • Behavioral consults
