FREQUENT QUESTIONS

· What is mobile veterinary surgery?

If after examining your pet, your veterinarian decides that surgery is the best possible course of action, he/she contacts us and our board-certified surgeon travels to their hospital to perform surgery.

· What are the benefits of using a mobile surgeon?

Comfort, Familiarity, Time and Money! Many pet owners have developed a strong rapport with their family veterinarians and having your pet’s surgery at the comfort of their facility makes the whole process smoother and less stressful.
