Brick-street vets who work inside the house

Sound Enough
To Skip The Drive

Total Vet runs house calls throughout the city, from the flats of Tower Grove South to the older streets around Lafayette Square. These are solid brick houses with the animals firmly settled in them, and there is very little in a routine appointment that needs anyone to leave.

Mobile vet services in St. Louis

The vehicle arrives stocked like a treatment room and everything listed below is done inside, on your own floor.

Wellness Exams

A full annual once-over taken at your pace, with body condition, dental scoring and joint comfort logged each year so trends are visible instead of guessed at.

Vaccinations

Rabies to meet city requirements, plus the lifestyle cover a dog earns walking Forest Park daily or spending a weekend in the Missouri woods.

Sick Visits

A tick found and the dog now flat, an ear that keeps recurring, a cat straining in the box. Assessed in the house and treated the same visit wherever possible.

Diagnostics & Labs

Bloods, urine and cytology collected at your table, with tick-borne panels run routinely because Missouri carries one of the heaviest tick burdens in the country.

End-of-Life Care

Hospice planning, then a peaceful goodbye at home when it is right — in the front room, on the porch, with whoever needs to be there. Aftercare handled for you.

Telehealth

Video rechecks for animals already under our care, which saves a second trip when all that is needed is a look at how a wound is coming along.

Kerbside on the brick

From Carondelet up to Skinker DeBaliviere, the doctor comes inside the house, which matters most for the big old dogs who have started finding the front steps a genuine obstacle.

Why St. Louis pet owners choose us

Traditional Clinic

  • Carrying a heavy dog down a flight of brick front steps
  • Highway 40 at rush hour with a distressed animal aboard
  • A waiting room that ruins twenty minutes of careful calm
  • Losing a working morning to a routine annual exam
  • A new clinician each visit and the same history again

Total Vet Mobile Care

  • No steps to manage and no drive across the city
  • The exam happens on the floor your dog already owns
  • One doctor building a picture over several years
  • Times that work around a shift or a school run
  • Records, tags and refills finished before we leave

Caring for pets in St. Louis

Heavy humidity from June onwards, a serious tick season either side of it, and a winter that salts every brick sidewalk in the city — the calendar here keeps a general practice busy in all four quarters.

Serious tick country

Missouri sits near the top of the national tables for tick-borne disease in dogs, and ehrlichia turns up here regularly. Year-round prevention is genuinely warranted, not a precaution.

Humidity and skin

Once the dew point climbs, folds and ears stay damp and infections follow fast, particularly in heavy-coated breeds. Drying properly after a swim or a bath prevents most of it.

Parks that carry the city

Forest Park is bigger than most people realise and walked in every season, Tower Grove Park has its own fenced dog run, and Carondelet Park serves the whole south side.

The city registers separately

St. Louis city runs its own scheme apart from the county, requiring dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies and registered from three to four months old, with thirty days' grace for new arrivals.

Questions St. Louis pet owners ask us

Very little indeed. A room with light and floor space, and the cat's preferred hiding place closed off first. Street parking on the older blocks can be tight, so if your stretch fills up early in the evening, mention it when you book.

They aren't. Anything requiring anaesthesia or imaging goes to a hospital equipped for it, and we refer within the St. Louis area with your record sent over first. The consult that gets you there and the rechecks after both happen at your house.

No — it's handled as a standard consultation. An itemised, coded invoice reaches you by email the same day and that is normally the entirety of what a claim needs.

Book them together and save. The travel charge applies once per address, then each animal after the first is examined at a reduced rate, so a house with three pets is a single visit.

Straight to an emergency hospital rather than waiting for our list to open. The Animal Emergency Clinic in Kirkwood is staffed continuously, and Veterinary Specialty Services in Manchester covers after-hours critical care. Call us next day and we'll take over.

Yes, on a card reader at the end of the visit — card or phone, whichever you prefer. Your receipt is emailed immediately and nothing arrives later.

A day's notice, and there is no charge. The doctors run the city in sections — the south side one day, the central corridor the next — so telling us early means another household on that run takes the slot.

When something cannot wait, the Animal Emergency Clinic at 9937 Big Bend Road in Kirkwood is open every hour of every day, and Veterinary Specialty Services out in Manchester also provides after-hours emergency and critical care.

"Our boxer is arthritic and the front steps here are brick and steep. Having someone come inside and do the exam on the living room floor was the first time in two years that a vet visit didn't hurt him."
