Throughout this global pandemic, House Call Vet RVA has continued to provide an essential service for pets & pet parents requesting in-home veterinary care. In order to continue to do so, we have adopted the following policies and protocols.

  • As of 11/19/2020, ALL communication must be done through our WEBSITE. Please visit our commonly used forms page to fill out and submit the appropriate form.
  • If you are unsure of which form to choose, please visit our contact page to submit your request or question.
  • Appointment requests, questions, and all other communications will not be answered through email or phone calls.
  • However, requests submitted through the website will be answered in a timely manner. This is a CRITICAL and necessary change in order for us to continue to provide in-home veterinary care.

We understand this is a difficult time for everyone and appreciate your understanding,

Our pets love us unconditionally, bring laughter and joy into our lives, and become part of our families.

My purpose and sincerest intent are to provide in-home pet euthanasia service, support, and guidance for you, your family, and your pet.

You have questions; we have answers.

Why choose in-home euthanasia?
  • Allows friends and family to be present
  • Eliminates the need to transport your pet, which can be difficult and/or distressful
  • Grieving in private
  • Enables you to set an atmosphere (candles, music, pictures, etc.) that is right for you and your family
  • Ability to choose location (favorite bed, outdoors, etc)
  • Home burial convenience
  • Privacy afterwards
  • Other pets can be present, if desired
