Home Visits

Convenient veterinary care at your doorstep in Milton and Ulladulla

At Ulladulla Veterinary Hospital, we understand that bringing your pet to the clinic isn’t always feasible. That’s why we offer home visits, providing professional veterinary care right in the comfort of your own home. Serving the South Coast community, our dedicated team ensures your pets receive the same high-quality care they would in our clinic, tailored to their unique needs and your convenience.

Why vet home visits are important

Home visits are essential for pet owners who may find it challenging to transport their pets due to:

• Mobility Issues: Pets with limited mobility or those recovering from surgery benefit from receiving care at home.
  
• Stress Reduction: Familiar surroundings can reduce anxiety for pets that are nervous or fearful of travelling and clinic environments.
  
• Chronic Illness Management: Regular home visits help manage chronic conditions effectively, providing ongoing support and monitoring.
  
• Elderly Pets: Senior pets may have difficulty traveling long distances and prefer the comfort of their own home.
  
• Emergency Care: Quick response in urgent situations can be crucial for your pet’s health and well-being.
