The Practice
Climbs The Hill For You
Total Vet visits homes throughout Hamilton County, from the tall brick streets of Mount Auburn down to the bungalow blocks of Pleasant Ridge. The city's hills are hard enough on an old dog's knees without adding a car journey — so we bring the appointment up the front steps instead.
Mobile vet services in Cincinnati
The vehicle carries a working treatment room, and all of the following happens inside your house rather than across a counter.
Wellness Exams
A careful annual assessment done where the cat hasn't already spent twenty minutes shouting in a carrier — which, for what it's worth, makes the heart rate we record far more honest.
Vaccinations
Rabies to satisfy Ohio law, plus the extras a dog earns by walking the Little Miami trail or boarding while you're away for the holidays.
Sick Visits
A cough that persisted past the weekend, a cat straining in the box, a paw licked raw since the salt went down. We assess and begin treatment at your address.
Diagnostics & Labs
Blood, urine and faecal samples plus tick-borne panels, all collected in the house and run from the vehicle so results come with a conversation rather than a voicemail.
End-of-Life Care
Quality-of-life visits, and when the time comes, a gentle end in the armchair your dog claimed years ago. We take care of the arrangements that follow.
Telehealth
Video rechecks for animals we already know — useful in February, when a follow-up shouldn't require anyone to get a car up an icy hill.

Kerbside clinic
From Northside across to Mount Lookout, the exam room comes to the house, which spares an ageing dog the stairs and spares the cat a car journey it would remember for a fortnight.

Caring for pets in Cincinnati
Four genuine seasons make for a varied caseload here: salt-cracked pads in February, ticks through the river valley by May, and heavy air in August that hits thick-coated dogs harder than the thermometer suggests.
What the salt does
Road and pavement salt splits pads and irritates skin, and dogs then lick it off. A rinse in warm water at the door after winter walks prevents most of the cases we see.
Ticks along the valley
The wooded slopes and river corridors around Hamilton County carry a real tick burden from spring onwards, and Lyme exposure in Ohio dogs has climbed. We run the panel with the annual bloodwork.
Parks worth the drive
Mount Airy Forest keeps one of the region's largest off-leash areas, Otto Armleder has a fenced run beside the river, and Ault Park's paths suit an older dog's pace.
Licensed by the Auditor
Ohio law puts dog licensing with the county, so Hamilton County registrations run through the Auditor's office and renew between the first of December and the end of January.

Questions Cincinnati pet owners ask us
Should something go badly wrong outside our hours, MedVet Cincinnati at 3964 Red Bank Road in Fairfax runs its emergency service continuously, every day of the year, and takes patients without an appointment.
"Three cats, a third-floor walk-up in Clifton and no chance of getting all of them anywhere. The vet came up, saw all three on the sofa, and I didn't take a single afternoon off work."
