Mobile Vet FAQs

How do I consult with other vets if I'm by myself on the road?

All of our vets have a great relationship and support each other.  We are available by phone or email to help with cases.  HousePaws medical team is collaborative to provide the best medical care for our patients and professional development for our staff.

When do I make callbacks and do notes?

The technicians drive the transits to allow our vets times to get notes and calls done in between appointments, which reduces the amount of time needed for callbacks after appointments. We also use a cloud system that can be logged onto at home.

How do we dispense medications while on the road?

We carry a selection of medications on the trucks and can also write prescriptions or call into a compounding pharmacy.

Do you feel you are limited on your ability to perform the appropriate diagnostics?

We have a quality mobile x-ray and ultrasound to utilize on the road. We can also draw blood which we can send out (turn around time is 24 hours) or run on an in-house machine. For microscope diagnostics, we usually take slides back to the hospital to review at the end of our shifts.  Additionally, each truck has a blood pressure machine and glucometer.
