The Appointment
Comes To The House
Total Vet keeps veterinarians on the road across Marion County, calling at bungalows in Irvington and ranch homes up towards Nora alike. This is a flat, easy city to drive — which is exactly why it makes more sense for the doctor to do the driving than for your cat to.
Mobile vet services in Indianapolis
A vehicle equipped like a treatment room turns up at your kerb, and all of the following gets done inside the house.
Wellness Exams
Unhurried annual checks with weight, dental grade and mobility recorded each time, which makes the slow drift of an ageing cat far easier to spot early.
Vaccinations
Rabies plus a sensible short list based on what your animal really does — a dog on the Monon most evenings has different exposure to one that stays in the yard.
Sick Visits
Vomiting into a second day, a limp after the dog park, itching that has gone on all month. Assessed at the house and started on treatment the same visit.
Diagnostics & Labs
Bloods, urine, cytology and tick-borne screening collected in your kitchen and processed from the vehicle, so results come with a conversation rather than a callback.
End-of-Life Care
Hospice support and, when it is time, a gentle end at home on the bed or the rug your animal always chose. The arrangements afterwards are handled for you.
Telehealth
Video rechecks for animals already in our care, which spares a second outing when the question is only whether an incision is closing properly.
Kerb to kitchen, across Indianapolis

Countertop check
Kerbside setup
From Fountain Square out to Castleton, we bring the practice to the door, which is worth most to the cats that were never getting in a carrier and the old dogs that no longer manage the step up.

Caring for pets in Indianapolis
A flat, green, walkable city with a proper winter attached. The seasonal swing here shows up in the exam room as cracked pads in February, ticks by May and heat-flattened dogs through August.
Salt on the sidewalks
De-icer splits pads and irritates skin, and it comes off on the tongue when a dog cleans its feet indoors. Wiping paws at the door prevents most of what we end up treating.
Ticks and the trail
Indiana's tick population has spread well into the suburbs, and dogs pick them up on the greenways as readily as in the woods. We screen with the annual bloodwork rather than waiting.
Trail-side running room
The Monon Trail links half the north side, Eagle Creek Park has one of the state's largest dog parks with water access, and Broad Ripple Park's fenced run is busy year-round.
No licence, but a registry
Indianapolis does not run a general pet licence the way many cities do, but Marion County maintains a registry for animals that have not been spayed or neutered. We can talk you through where you stand.

When it will not hold until morning, IndyVet Emergency & Specialty Hospital at 5425 Victory Drive has emergency clinicians on site at every hour, and MedVet Indianapolis also runs its emergency floor continuously and takes patients without an appointment.
"Our cat is nineteen and the drive alone used to wipe her out for two days. The vet came to our place in Meridian-Kessler, did everything on the sideboard where she sleeps, and she barely noticed."
