Welcome

 

Veterinary House Calls is a mobile practice owned and operated by Dr. Jim Claghorn. We work exclusively on dogs and cats and have been serving the Monterey county for over twenty years.

Services offered at your home:

Preventive Medicine- The focus of our practice is on prevention, so with every house call your pet will receive a comprehensive physical exam, vaccinations (if required), and any medicine or pet care product that your pet may need from our fully stocked pharmacy.

Diagnostic Medicine-  Dogs and cats can’t tell you when they’re sick.  Twenty years of clinical experience helps but if we need a closer look into what's ailing your pet, we are outfitted to perform the appropriate diagnostics. The samples for blood panels, fecal exams, urinalysis, biopsies, bacteriological cultures, etc. can be easily obtained in the stressless environment of your home.  

Surgical Medicine- Dental prophylaxis +/- extractions, abscess treatments and laceration suturing are examples of simple surgical procedures that can be easily performed inside your home with injectable anesthetics. Postoperative pain medication is always available. 

Home Euthanasia- No pet should have to die in the cold and clinical setting of a hospital. The last moments of your pet’s life should be full of compassion and dignity, in the loving comfort of their own home.
