We truly have the BEST clients around.

We have absolutely loved taking on new clients this past year! We have met so many new furry friends❤️🐾 However, this chapter is having to come to a close.

The Traveling Vet is no longer accepting new clients aside from those needing home euthanasia. Our standards are such that we need to be available to our patients within a reasonable time frame, and if we continue to grow we won't be able to serve you as we feel we should. We also believe that home euthanasia is one of the most important services we can offer our community, and want to have the best chance to work those in as possible. If you are in need, or are even researching home euthanasia for a future date please give us a call (or check out the website https://www.417travelingvet.com/letting-them-go-a-walk-through-the-euthanasia-journey/ ). We can talk to you about what we can offer and what you can expect. As always, give your fur baby all the love you have.
