I know it was important to me when I moved Helen (6+ years ago now) so I searched on-line for a vet that WOULD make house calls. Here's a link for a group of house call vets for those interested: _http://www.housecallvets.org/_ (http://www.housecallvets.org/) Then there is also the American Association of Housecall and mobile Veterinarians and I'm sure with a few key stokes to google, anyone interested could find even more... Now, I got lucky with the second vet interview (the first was a TOTAL wack-a-do!). But I interview vets. I have 4 vets that I use regularly (house call gal who also has a clinic and is a wonderful diagnostician, OFA guy, reproduction guru and marvelous laporoscopic guy) and that doesn't include 2 ER/specialty centers that I wouldn't hesitate to use if the need arose. AND I EXPECT THEM ALL TO PLAY WELL TOGETHER WITH NO ATTITUDE. And they do, lol. But maybe I scare vets, lol. Had an experience 2 weeks ago where I was in a huge, bustling facility w/ one of my boys who was there to be collected for a bitch owner. So a sweet young thing reaches for his leash saying "I'll just take him a while" and I'm like (politely but leaving no room for discussion), "no, I go with him." Well that seemed to get the whole works in a tizzy! Ah well, at least I made their day interesting <G>.

The last place I want a puppy who isn't fully immunized is a vet's office. (Call me anal, it won't I'm certainly glad to hear that there are Vets that still come to the house. I've been following all the "My Opinion" emails, and was curious if Vets still did house calls. When I was actively breeding,my Vet always came to my kennel building to check the litters, and give shots, Also ,over the years to put the old ones down,when their time had come ,so they could pass peacefully in familiar surroundings. We had about 8 Vets in the Twin Cities that always worked with the dog breeders. It was a blessing,believe me.
