Mobile Veterinarians Bring Comfort and Compassion to Pet Families
Why so many families are choosing a more personal touch for their pet care
January 3, 2022
Mobile veterinarians are quickly becoming the new standard for pet families looking for quality, personalized pet care. According to Google’s data, searches for “Mobile Veterinarian Near Me” have increased 4x since 2019.
So what’s behind this big shift in sentiment toward in-home veterinary care?
More Comfort for the Pet
Some pets love their trips to the vet – but not always. Having the appointment at home helps the pet adjust on their own terms, and removes the stress of riding in the car or entering a new space.
COVID Policies Differ
With shifting public health policies and ever-evolving mandates, many offices don’t allow more than one family member at a time into pet office visits. Having an in-home visit gives your pet the comfort and security of being surrounded by loved ones for what could otherwise be a scary experience.
Technology Shifts
As mobile continues its lead on the digital space, we are becoming increasingly accustomed to location data playing a pivotal role in our day-to-day lives. Smaller practices are able to get the word out about their services, specialists are more easily accessible, and it’s no longer necessary to live within blocks of a practice’s office.
As technology, policy and consumer attitudes shift, it goes without saying that the desire for personalized in-home veterinary care will become more commonplace. We predict that finding the right mobile vet with the tools, experience, and compassion will – for many families – become the new normal.
