If you’re searching for a mobile vet in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, or Chapel Hill, Local Mobile Vet is here to help.

Yes, we work with most pet insurance providers like SPOT, Pumpkin, Lemonade, Embrace, etc. Payment is due at the time of service, and we can help provide documentation for your reimbursement.

Most pets should have a wellness exam once a year. Senior pets or those with medical conditions may need visits every 6 months to help catch problems early.

At this time Local Mobile Vet does not perform dentals, spaying, neutering, or any other surgeries. We will however discuss the best plan for your pet during an exam and help provide the documents to a local clinic where they can perform the surgery.

Changes in appetite, energy, behavior, mobility, or bathroom habits can all be signs something isn’t right. When in doubt, call us—we’d rather check early!
