Home Visits

Key Takeaways

• Medivet offers at home visits when you or your pet cannot travel to a clinic, so your pet still receives veterinary care.
• At home visits are carried out by Medivet's veterinary teams for pet owners facing difficulty attending a practice in person.
• Medivet generally recommends visiting a fully equipped clinic when your pet is ill, as practices have the staff and equipment for comprehensive care.
• If travel is difficult, you should phone your local Medivet clinic to discuss options, which may include arranging an ambulance.
• A home visit will be arranged only after you have discussed the situation with your vet and agreed it is the right option.
• Your local Medivet clinic will agree the best time for the team to visit once a home visit has been decided.
• Contact your nearest Medivet clinic directly to talk through your circumstances and arrange an at home visit.

In general, we recommend you visit a comprehensively equipped and staffed practice near you if your pet is ill. However, we do understand there are occasions where this might not be possible.

To help make life less stressful for everyone, we offer visits at home to ensure your pet receives exceptional care, no matter the circumstance.

Why we offer at home visits

We know that travelling to a practice may be difficult for a number of reasons. If you have any issues accessing transport or are concerned about any other aspect of your visit, please phone your local practice so we can discuss how we can help and make life easier for you. We may be able to organise an ambulance, for instance.

If after discussing the options with your vet, it’s decided that a home visit is necessary, we’ll be able to arrange the best time for our compassionate team to visit.

Contact your local practice to discuss your options and arrange a visit at home.
