Care That Comes
Up Onto The Porch

Total Vet keeps veterinarians on the road across Shelby County, calling at shotgun houses in Cooper-Young and ranch homes out toward Germantown Parkway alike. Your dog greets us at the screen door, the exam happens in the front room, and nobody spends a July afternoon in a hot car.

Mobile vet services in Memphis

Everything below happens with the doctor sitting on your floor. No lobby, no scale in a hallway, no handing your animal over a counter.

Wellness Exams

The unhurried yearly once-over — heart, lungs, teeth, hips, the lumps you've been meaning to ask about — done where your dog isn't already braced for something unpleasant.

Vaccinations

Rabies to satisfy Shelby County, and the rest chosen for how your animal actually spends its week, whether that's the Outback at Shelby Farms or the porch rail.

Sick Visits

Ear infections that keep coming back, a cat hiding under the bed for two days, limping that showed up after the greenway. Examined and started on treatment at the house.

Diagnostics & Labs

Bloodwork, urinalysis, skin cytology and the annual heartworm screen, all drawn on site and run from the vehicle so we aren't calling you a week later with a shrug.

End-of-Life Care

When the kindest thing left is to let go, we do it in the shade of the back yard or on the rug by the window, at whatever pace the family needs, with aftercare taken care of.

Telehealth

Established patients can get a recheck by video — a rash that's clearing, a dose that needs tuning — without anybody loading up for a second trip across town.

Van under the shade tree

From Binghampton to High Point Terrace, we bring the practice up onto the porch, which means the visit happens at your animal's pace and the hardest part of the day is deciding which room to sit in.

Caring for pets in Memphis

Memphis is a walking city for dogs eight months of the year and a shade-seeking one for the other four, and the river valley keeps the insects working long after other places get a frost.

The mosquito never clocks out

Mid-South winters seldom break the mosquito cycle for long, so heartworm prevention here is a year-round commitment rather than a summer one. We test annually and dispense at the door.

Humidity, not just heat

It is the dew point that floors a thick-coated dog here. Skin folds stay damp, hot spots flare fast, and afternoon walks are better traded for something before eight in the morning.

Green room to roam

The Outback dog park at Shelby Farms, the Old Forest trails inside Overton Park and the Wolf River Greenway give this city more off-leash ground than most — worth keeping vaccines current for.

Rabies rules here

Memphis and Shelby County require every dog and cat three months and older to carry a current rabies vaccination, and the city tag is issued on proof of it. We vaccinate at home and hand you the certificate.

Questions Memphis pet owners ask us

A room with decent light and somewhere to sit is genuinely all of it. If you've got a cat, shut the door to wherever it likes to vanish before we arrive. For apartments downtown or along South Main, let us know which entrance actually opens and where the vehicle can sit for half an hour.

Not from the vehicle. Anaesthesia and imaging need a fixed hospital, so those cases go to referral practices around Memphis with your history sent across in advance. The consultation that leads up to it and every recheck afterwards happen at your address.

Almost always, and at the same rate as a clinic appointment. We send a fully itemised invoice by email with the diagnosis and treatment coded, which is all that most carriers ask for.

As one visit. You pay the travel portion a single time and each additional animal is examined at a reduced rate, so a household with two dogs and a barn cat is one appointment rather than three.

Straight to an emergency hospital rather than waiting on our next opening. Memphis Veterinary Specialists & Emergency in Cordova has emergency vets on the floor at all hours, and the Animal Emergency Center on Summer Avenue covers nights and weekends. Ring us afterwards and we'll pick up the follow-up care.

The doctor runs the card on a tablet at the end of the visit — tap, swipe or phone, whichever suits. Your receipt is emailed straight away and there is nothing left to sort out later.

A day ahead and there's no fee at all. Our doctors work a route — Midtown and Cooper-Young on one run, East Memphis and Berclair on another — so early notice lets your slot go to a neighbour rather than the van driving to an empty drive.

Overnight trouble goes to Memphis Veterinary Specialists & Emergency at 555 Trinity Creek Cove in Cordova, which keeps emergency clinicians on duty around the clock; the Animal Emergency Center on Summer Avenue also covers nights and weekends when your regular practice is shut.

"Our old beagle hates the car more than she hates the vet, which was always the problem. Doctor sat down on the floor of our Cooper-Young place, did the whole thing, and she never once got up."
