The Visiting Veterinary Service was established in 1991 by Dr. Melissa Shapiro. The house call service has catered to a small clientele and pets of all ages who receive personal and individualized care in a relaxed home setting. Over the past few years, the emphasis has shifted to geriatric, disabled, and end of life care for pets. Assessment of older dogs and cats in their home gives a realistic view of how they are doing and what they need to maintain a good quality of life. Even minor changes in support, treatments, and physical accommodations may make a big difference in the long-term prognosis and quality of life. As animals near the end of their lives we provide families and their pets with comfort, palliative therapy, and when appropriate, euthanasia in their own homes. The in-home euthanasia service allows families to say good bye to their pets in the peaceful comfort of their own home. Full medical and surgical services are available through the use of a local base animal hospital.
