Stress-Free Mobile Vet Visitsfor Pets and Their People
Many pets find traditional clinics stressful — the car ride, the unfamiliar smells, the busy waiting room. Mobile veterinary care reduces that stress by bringing the appointment to your home.
During an in-home visit, your pet can stay on their favorite bed, in your arms, or in the room where they feel most comfortable. This relaxed setting allows us to see how they move, behave, and interact in their everyday environment, which can be especially helpful for anxious pets, seniors, and exotic species.
We focus on:
- Gentle, low-stress handling
- Taking appointments at your pet’s pace
- Offering clear, friendly explanations
- Making sure you feel supported and informed
Whether you’re scheduling a routine wellness examination or a difficult end-of-life visit, we’re here to support your whole family with empathy and respect.
Our Mobile Veterinary Services
Paws and Claws Veterinary Care offers a thoughtful range of in-home services for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals in Ocala, FL and the surrounding area.
Pet Wellness Visits
Routine wellness examinations are the foundation of a long, healthy life. During an in-home wellness visit, we perform a thorough nose-to-tail examination, review your pet’s medical history and lifestyle, discuss nutrition and behavior, and answer any questions you may have. Keeping your pet up to date with wellness checks helps us catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
Exotic Exams
Exotic pets often hide signs of illness, and they can be especially sensitive to travel and noisy environments. We offer in-home exotic exams for many species, including reptiles, birds, and small mammals. These visits focus on husbandry (housing, diet, enrichment), early detection of health concerns, and practical advice tailored to your pet’s species and personality.
Pet Vaccinations
Vaccinations are a key part of preventative care. We provide pet vaccinations in your home to help protect your dog, cat, or exotic companion from preventable diseases, without the added stress of a clinic visit. We’ll recommend a vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle, and talk you through each vaccine so you know exactly what to expect.
Pet Senior Care
Senior pets deserve extra comfort and attention. Our in-home senior care focuses on quality of life, mobility, pain management discussions, and monitoring chronic conditions over time. Seeing your senior pet in their home environment allows us to better understand how they are coping day to day, and to suggest changes that can make life easier for both of you.
Pet At-Home Euthanasia
Saying goodbye is one of the hardest decisions a pet owner will ever make. Our at-home pet euthanasia services are designed to give your pet a peaceful, dignified farewell in the comfort and familiarity of home. We will walk you through each step, answer all of your questions, and allow you the time and space you need. Our approach to in-home euthanasia is gentle, unhurried, and centered around your pet’s comfort and your family’s wishes.
