Rain-or-shine housecall vets, seven days a week

Skip The Drive.
We'll Come Up The Steps

Total Vet works out of a rolling exam room that parks in front of your house anywhere in King County, from Ballard's boat-trailer streets to the hillside stairs of Columbia City. Nobody wrestles a soaked, unhappy cat into a carrier in November — the doctor brings a towel and does the driving.

Mobile vet services in Seattle

Almost everything a storefront practice handles, we handle standing on your rug instead. Here is what travels with the doctor across Seattle.

Wellness Exams

A slow, thorough going-over on the floor where your animal already sleeps — joints, teeth, weight, coat — with extra attention to the hips of dogs who take the Burke-Gilman seriously.

Vaccinations

Rabies and the core series, plus honest conversations about leptospirosis, which matters more here than most owners expect given how much standing water a wet block collects.

Sick Visits

Chronic ear gunk, a limp that showed up after Magnuson, a cat quietly skipping meals. We work it up in your kitchen rather than adding a car ride to a bad week.

Diagnostics & Labs

Blood draws, urine collection, fecal and tick-borne panels, all pulled at the house and run from the vehicle so we're talking about numbers before the doctor pulls away.

End-of-Life Care

A last appointment held in the warm spot by the radiator, unhurried, with family and no fluorescent lights. We coordinate aftercare afterward so nobody has to make calls.

Telehealth

Video rechecks for established patients, which spares you a second trip when the smoke rolls in during August and going outside is the wrong idea anyway.

Parked on the hill

From Phinney Ridge down to Rainier Beach, we bring the practice to the doorstep, which means no carrier standoff, no bridge traffic, and no dog shaking in a lobby for twenty minutes before anyone says hello.

Caring for pets in Seattle

Dogs here are outdoor animals whether or not the weather agrees — trail miles, off-leash sand, ferry decks — and the wet season shapes everything from paw care to which vaccines actually earn their place.

Wet ground, real risk

Leptospirosis spreads through standing water and wildlife urine, and a city this damp with this many raccoons keeps it circulating. We talk it through honestly rather than defaulting to yes.

Smoke season planning

Late summer now reliably brings days of hazardous air. Flat-faced breeds and older dogs feel it first, so we shift walks early and reschedule non-urgent outdoor exertion.

Trail miles and sand

Magnuson Park's sixty-odd acres, the sand at Golden Gardens and the length of Discovery Park keep social dogs busy, which is exactly why we keep their vaccine records current and portable.

City licence, not county

Seattle handles its own pet licensing through the Seattle Animal Shelter, and the code covers cats as well as dogs. We vaccinate at the house and leave you the certificate you'll need.

The figures above cover the trip and the examination. Anything dispensed or run in the lab — vaccines, medication, bloodwork — is itemised separately and quoted out loud before the doctor does it.

Questions Seattle pet owners ask us

Very little. Leave a lamp on in whichever room you want to use, and shut the bedroom door if your cat has a favourite escape route under the bed. If you're in an apartment on Capitol Hill or a townhouse with a shared alley, text us where to actually park — that saves more time than anything else.

No, and we'd rather be straight about it: anything needing general anaesthesia or imaging hardware belongs in a building with the right equipment, so we refer to established Seattle surgical and imaging practices and send records ahead. The consult before and the suture check after both happen back at your place.

Nearly every policy handles it the same as any other appointment. We email an itemised invoice with diagnostic and treatment codes the same day, which is what claims departments want, and you upload it in a couple of minutes.

One visit covers the household. The travel portion is charged once no matter how many animals we see, and each pet after the first is examined at a reduced rate. A Ravenna house with two cats and an elderly beagle is a completely normal afternoon for us.

Don't wait on us — go straight in. VEG ER for Pets in Interbay takes walk-ins at any hour, and Timberline Veterinary Emergency & Specialty on Aurora runs a full overnight team as well. Put both in your phone now, while nothing is wrong, and call us the next morning so we can pick up the follow-up.

At the door, on a tablet, the moment the exam finishes. Cards and phone wallets both work. There's no invoice to chase later and no front desk to queue at on your way out.

A day's notice and there's nothing to pay. Our doctors run geographic routes — Ballard and Phinney one morning, West Seattle and Columbia City the next — so an early heads-up means the slot goes to another family rather than the van crossing town for a dark house.

If something goes wrong at 3 a.m., head for VEG ER for Pets at 1827 15th Ave W in Interbay or Timberline Veterinary Emergency & Specialty up at 13240 Aurora Ave N — both keep doctors on the floor around the clock, holidays included.

"Our fifteen-year-old cat hasn't tolerated a car since the Obama administration. The vet sat down on our floor in Wedgwood, did the whole exam and the bloodwork there, and the cat never left the room."
