February Shouldn't
Cancel The Checkup
Total Vet works house calls across Cuyahoga County, from the tight streets of Tremont to the long driveways out in West Park. Between January ice and a dog who dreads the carrier, plenty of appointments quietly get postponed here — this is how they stop being.
Mobile vet services in Cleveland
A working exam room arrives at the kerb, and everything below happens inside, where it is warm and your animal is calm.
Wellness Exams
Thorough annual checks with particular attention to the hips and elbows of older dogs, whose stiffness always reads worse in the cold months than owners expect it to.
Vaccinations
Rabies to meet Ohio requirements, plus the boarding and lifestyle vaccines that a dog using the Metroparks or a kennel over the holidays genuinely needs.
Sick Visits
Cracked pads after a salted pavement, an ear infection that came back, a cat off its food for two days. Examined and started on treatment without leaving the house.
Diagnostics & Labs
Blood draws, urine collection, skin cytology and tick screening, taken in your kitchen and run from the vehicle so answers arrive the same day, not next week.
End-of-Life Care
Hospice support and home euthanasia by the radiator or on the back porch, taken at the family's pace, with cremation and aftercare arranged on your behalf.
Telehealth
Video rechecks for existing patients, which is exactly what you want when the driveway is sheet ice and the question is only whether a wound is healing properly.

Van in the snow
From Ohio City out to Collinwood, we take the winter roads instead of you, which is the difference between an annual exam that happens in February and one that quietly slips to May.

Caring for pets in Cleveland
The lake sets the terms here. Winters run long and heavily salted, spring brings ticks into the Metroparks, and a stretch of August humidity can floor a thick-coated dog with no warning at all.
Salt and antifreeze
Treated pavements crack pads and burn skin, and antifreeze pooled on a driveway is sweet, tempting and lethal in tiny amounts. Rinse paws indoors and mop spills immediately.
Ticks in the Metroparks
Blacklegged ticks are well established across northern Ohio now, and Lyme cases in dogs have climbed with them. We include a tick-borne panel in the yearly bloodwork.
Lakefront running room
Edgewater Park's dog beach lets dogs into the water off-leash in season, Wendy Park sits out on the Whiskey Island spit, and the Metroparks reservations link most of the west side.
County licence, renewed yearly
Ohio requires dogs over three months to be licensed through the county, so Cuyahoga registrations renew each year in the window running from December into late January.

Questions Cleveland pet owners ask us
When the worst happens after dark, MedVet Cleveland at 20400 Emerald Parkway operates its emergency service every hour of the year, and Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital over in Highland Heights runs a round-the-clock emergency floor as well.
"Our dog is thirteen and hasn't managed the car ride comfortably in two years. Someone came out to Old Brooklyn in the middle of a snowy week and did the whole exam and her bloodwork on the living room floor."
