Veterinary House Calls
Across Cape Coral

Total Vet brings the exam room to your driveway anywhere on the Cape, from the Yacht Club's original waterfront blocks to new builds out past Gator Circle. Our licensed veterinarians cover Lee County's biggest city so boat days, shift work, and school runs never have to bend around a clinic's schedule.

Mobile vet services in Cape Coral

Every appointment rolls up with a fully stocked vehicle — vaccines, lab equipment, and medications on board — so most of what a storefront clinic does gets handled right in your Cape Coral driveway.

Wellness Exams

Nose-to-tail checkups at your kitchen table, whether you're off Del Prado or down a Burnt Store cul-de-sac. We track weight, teeth, joints, and heart health while your pet stays on home turf.

Vaccinations

Rabies, distemper-parvo, bordetella, and leptospirosis matched to how your pet actually lives — a boat dog who splashes in the canals needs different protection than an indoor cat in Coral Lakes.

Sick Visits

Ear flare-ups after a swim, upset stomachs, limping, itchy skin — we work the problem up in your living room and usually start treatment before we pull out of the driveway.

Diagnostics & Labs

Blood draws, urinalysis, fecal checks, and heartworm screens collected at the house, with clear answers back fast — no second trip across the bridge for a lab run.

End-of-Life Care

When the time comes, we meet your family on the lanai, by the dock, or in the favorite sunny spot, so the goodbye happens privately at home rather than in an exam room.

Telehealth

Video rechecks and quick questions for established patients — a lifesaver during summer downpours or the week before a storm when nobody wants to be on the road.

Caring for pets in Cape Coral

Pet life on the Cape means morning walks past owl burrows, afternoons on the boat, and 400 miles of canals starting at the backyard seawall. Here's what we keep an eye on for Lee County pets.

Canal & Algae Smarts

Blue-green algae can bloom in the Cape's freshwater canals, especially in the warm months. When an advisory is posted, keep dogs from swimming in or drinking canal water — the toxins act fast on pets.

Off-Leash at Wagging Tails

Wagging Tails Dog Park inside Rotary Park, off Rose Garden Road, offers shaded small- and large-dog yards for a modest annual registration. Sirenia Vista in the NW Cape makes a great leashed stroll with a shot at spotting manatees.

Lee County Tags

Dogs, cats, and ferrets four months and older must carry a current rabies vaccination and a Lee County license — one tag covers both. We administer the shot at home and hand you the certificate for licensing.

Mind the Owl Burrows

Burrowing owls are Cape Coral's official city bird, nesting on vacant lots all over the grid and protected by state and federal law. Keep dogs leashed near staked burrows — disturbing one is a crime.

Questions Cape Coral pet owners ask us

Pick a spot with decent light — the kitchen or lanai works great — and have cats indoors before we pull up, since they tend to vanish once a strange vehicle parks outside. If you live in a gated community like Sandoval or Entrada, text us the gate code when you book. A towel and your pet's medication list are the only other things worth grabbing.

Our vehicles handle exams, labs, vaccines, and treatment, but imaging and surgical suites don't travel. For those cases we refer you to a full-service animal hospital on the Cape or across the river in Fort Myers, send our records ahead, and follow up at home once your pet is recovering.

Most policies reimburse for our care the same way they would a standard clinic. After each visit you get a fully itemized invoice listing the exam, diagnostics, and treatments, which you submit directly to your carrier. Wellness add-on plans often reimburse routine visits too — check your policy's schedule.

Absolutely, and it's the most economical way to use us. The travel fee is charged once per address, then each additional animal is examined at a reduced rate — so a Pelican or Gator Circle household with a dog, two cats, and a rabbit finishes all four checkups before lunch.

If your pet is hit by a car, struggling to breathe, bloated, or has gotten into algae or a toad, go straight to an ER — don't wait on a house call. BluePearl Pet Hospital in Fort Myers runs a full 24/7 specialty ER, and Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) on South Cleveland Avenue is also open around the clock. Both are a short drive over the bridges from anywhere in the Cape.

Once the exam wraps we run your card — or your phone's tap-to-pay — right there on the lanai, and the emailed receipt beats us back across the canal bridge. No mailed statements, nothing owed later.

We ask for 24 hours' notice. Our routes are mapped each day across the Cape's quadrants — a morning in the SW near Cape Harbour, an afternoon out toward Coral Lakes — so a late cancellation wastes a slot some other Cape pet was waiting on. Reschedule a day ahead and there's never a fee.

For overnight or holiday emergencies, BluePearl Pet Hospital and Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) — both in Fort Myers, minutes over the Cape Coral or Midpoint bridge — are open 24/7 and take walk-ins.

"Between work and the kids, getting to a clinic was impossible. Total Vet coming to our Cape Harbour home for annual checkups changed everything for us."
