Familiar Care With Veterinary House Calls in Aurora & Commerce City, CO
For some pets, the easiest veterinary visit is the one that happens at home. Denver Metro Animal Hospital and Urgent Care offers veterinary house calls around Aurora and Commerce City, CO for pets who may be anxious in a clinic setting, have mobility challenges, or simply benefit from being examined in a familiar environment.
Our in-home visits are available to both new and current clients within our practice’s service radius. Depending on your pet’s needs, house calls may be appropriate for wellness exams, vaccinations, diagnostic sampling, sick visits, and end-of-life care.
If getting to the hospital is difficult for your pet or family, contact us to ask whether an in-home visit is the right fit.
When Can an In-Home Veterinary Visit Be Helpful?
House calls can be a good option when traveling to the clinic would place extra stress or difficulty on your pet or family.
They may be especially helpful for:
-
Senior pets
Older dogs and cats may have arthritis, weakness, or other mobility limitations that make car rides and clinic visits harder.
-
Anxious pets
Some pets feel significantly more relaxed when they can remain in familiar surroundings.
-
Sick pets
Certain non-emergency concerns may be evaluated at home when a hospital visit is not necessary.
-
Mobility-limited owners
In-home care can provide another option for clients who have difficulty transporting their pet.
-
End-of-life care
Families may prefer a quieter, private environment when saying goodbye to a beloved pet.
-
Consultations
Some concerns can be discussed and evaluated effectively in the home setting.
If your pet needs advanced diagnostics, hospitalization, surgery, or emergency stabilization, our team may recommend care at one of our hospitals instead.
When Should My Pet Go to the Hospital Instead?
House calls are intended for appropriate non-emergency situations. Some conditions require equipment, diagnostics, monitoring, or treatment that can only be provided safely in a veterinary hospital.
Contact Denver Metro Animal Hospital and Urgent Care right away if your pet is experiencing severe difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, collapse, major trauma, seizures, or another rapidly worsening condition. Our team can help guide you toward the appropriate level of care.
