Frequently Asked Questions – Paws and Claws Veterinary Care

Mobile veterinary care means we come to you. Instead of bringing your pet to a clinic, our veterinarian provides care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.

This approach is especially helpful for:

• Anxious or fearful pets
• Senior pets with mobility challenges
• Exotic pets sensitive to travel
• Families who prefer the convenience of in-home care

If we’re with a patient, please leave a message, send an email, or send a text message, and we’ll follow up as soon as possible.

Clients may request urgent appointments outside of normal business hours for an additional fee. Availability is limited and depends on scheduling, but we will always do our best to help when possible.

For time-sensitive concerns, we recommend calling rather than relying on forms alone.

During an in-home visit, we focus on keeping your pet relaxed and comfortable. Visits typically include:

• A gentle physical examination
• Time for your pet to acclimate
• Clear explanations of findings and recommendations
• Opportunity to ask questions

Because we’re in your pet’s home environment, we can often gain valuable insight into their daily routine and comfort.

New clients will be asked to complete a New Patient Form prior to their first visit. For at-home euthanasia appointments, an Euthanasia Consent Form is required.

Forms can be completed digitally or downloaded as PDFs, depending on your preference.

Payment is due at the time of service. We accept:

• Cash
• Credit cards, including American Express
• CareCredit

If you have questions about payment options, we encourage you to contact us ahead of your visit.

At-home euthanasia can be a peaceful option for pets who are elderly, ill, anxious, or uncomfortable traveling. It allows your pet to remain in a familiar environment and gives your family privacy and time to say goodbye.

We’re always available to talk through your pet’s quality of life and answer questions so you can make an informed, compassionate decision.

Pet owners choose Paws and Claws Veterinary Care because they value:

• Reduced stress for their pets
• Seeing the same veterinarian at every visit
• In-home convenience
• Calm, compassionate care
• Clear, honest communication

Our mobile model allows us to focus on quality, comfort, and connection.
