Home Pet Doctor

Today we said goodbye to our baby girl of 18 years, Foxy. Dr. Steve Smith made it so easy. He was very fast to respond, continuously communicative through the planning process and very well priced. Today he showed up right on time, brought a beautiful wicker basket to take her away in. He explained everything he was doing and let us do it the way we wanted, holding her. He gave us time with her, as well. He was fast with removing her body and even let our other cat check out what was going on. 100% wpuld recommend. Definitely considering him for home visits for our little one in the future. Thank you for making the hardest process I can imagine manageable.

Had to get 2 pugs to the granddaughter in Ireland. Turned out to be quite a process, but Dr. Steve was on top of everything, all the time. Patient and very available for multiple questions. The woman who checked them through in Ireland inspected all the paperwork and we were immediately allowed through. I commented that she was making our life so easy and she responded "Your paperwork has made MY life easy!"

Used this vet for basic vaccination boosters some time ago because of the convenience of a home visit. It was a 8ish minute appointment that cost $395. Vaccines are cheap, but to be fair, I didn't confirm cost in advance. That said, it sure would've been more professional if price had been provided from the outset when it was going to be that high. Again prioritizing potential convenience, I reached out recently to see about getting a Pet Export certificate to take my dog overseas, which a vet has to provide. He ignored the questions I asked regarding price (twice). He then claimed a rabies booster was needed, and would require a 21 day waiting period post-shot and before travel. This was counter to what the U.S. Embassy website said in the destination country, so I shared the link pointing to that information, and asked him to share where he got the info that led him to believe it was 21 days no matter what. His response was, and I quote, "if you don't believe me, you should find another vet" lol. So yeah, problems with ego, with misogyny, and apparently with citing basic sources to back up what he presents as professional claims. Highly suggest you steer clear if you don't want to deal with white masc ignorance/abuse + evident misinformation....and then also get vastly overcharged. Edit (like a year and a half later): He used to have a very long, more overtly misogynistic response to this review that was also kind of hilarious because it was so unhinged, but I just realized he deleted it.

I scheduled an appointment with Home Pet Doctor but ended up not needing the appointment. He was very easy to communicate with and returned my deposit promptly. I will be returning if I need mobile vet services in the future.

Dr. Steve is the best! Very thorough, gentle and kind. Having the vet come to your home saves so much trauma for you and your pet. Marcel gave a four paws up for Dr. Steve's visit.
