Mobile Pet Care
At Riverside South Animal Hospital, we know that not every pet — or pet owner — finds it easy to visit a clinic. That’s why we offer access to a mobile vet clinic in Ottawa, ON, through Dennett Veterinary Mobile, owned and operated by Dr. Sherri Dennett. This service brings compassionate, professional at-home veterinary care directly to your door.
What Is Mobile Veterinary Care?
Mobile veterinary care allows pets to receive medical attention in the comfort of their own home. It’s an ideal solution for pets who are nervous in a hospital setting, those who are difficult to transport, or families who prefer the convenience of an in-home vet.
Dr. Dennett provides routine care, minor procedures, and home euthanasia when the time comes, with the option of transport to Riverside South Animal Hospital for more advanced services.
What Services Are Offered at Home?
Regular wellness visits, vaccinations, blood sample collection
Minor surgical procedures
Treatment of ear and eye infections
Removal of porcupine quills
Laser therapy for pain and inflammation
What to Expect at Your Home Vet Visit
- Arrive at your home with portable veterinary equipment tailored to your pet’s needs.
- Greet and assess your pet in their own environment, reducing stress and allowing for a more natural examination.
- Perform the requested services — whether a vaccination, minor treatment, or consultation — while answering your questions along the way.
- Provide recommendations for ongoing care, including diet, behaviour, or next steps if further treatment at Riverside South Animal Hospital is needed.
- Ensure your pet is comfortable before concluding the visit, leaving you with clear instructions for follow-up care.
This personalized approach helps pets feel at ease and allows owners to be more involved in their care.
Why Mobile Pet Care Is Important
Some pets avoid veterinary visits altogether because of the stress involved in travel or handling. Unfortunately, skipping care can mean missing early signs of illness or delaying treatment. Mobile veterinary care:
- Reduces anxiety for nervous pets
- Provides access to essential preventive services
- Ensures elderly or mobility-challenged owners can still care for their pets
- Offers compassionate, private end-of-life care in a familiar setting
Benefits of At-Home Veterinary Care:
- Less stress for pets and owners
- Convenient access to vaccines and minor procedures
- Safe environment for animals who dislike carriers or car rides
- Personalized attention in the comfort of home
