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.
Brick steps to front room, across St. Louis
Up the brick steps
Hardwood exam
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.

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.

"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."
