COVID-19 and Housecalls

Doc and Ed Masked

The COVID Pandemic has wreaked havoc on our society forcing changes to business practices across the board, and veterinary medicine is no different. As it turns out, in-home veterinary care is booming for many reasons. Many have noticed the change of protocol when bringing a pet into a clinic. One must drop off the pet curbside while a masked technician takes them into the hospital. Then there's the long wait. We have heard of folks waiting 8-12 hours until their pet is discharged. No one may leave in case the doctor has questions or decides it's discharge time.

Housecalls are done safely at home by secluding the pet in a restroom away from human contact. Everyone is masked and wearing new gloves. We efficiently examine, obtain diagnostics, and provide medical and minor surgical treatments. You never have to leave home.

What is PriVET Petcare?

As you may have noticed, dear pet parents, we have added another division to our business: PriVET Petcare. We have done this to differentiate from our emergency housecall arm, 911 VETS. 

PriVET Petcare will be the regular preventative and routine care arm with our full concierge service whereby pets are safely transported to and from veterinary facilities to receive surgery, dentistry, radiology, or hospitalization if needed. We will continue to provide expert, advanced care right in the comfort of home. We can provide these other services in arrangement with partner hospitals. No long waiting in the parking lot; we handle the trip and facilitate the needed services.
