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
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."
