Most planned, routine care: a wellness exam, vaccines such as rabies, a heartworm test, a microchip, and follow-up visits for an ongoing condition. Many also do hospice visits and euthanasia at home. What each vet offers differs, so check the listing and ask about the specific thing your pet needs before you book.

Anything that needs a hospital: X-rays and other imaging, most surgery, overnight care and emergencies generally have to go to a clinic. A few mobile vets work from a fitted-out unit and do surgery or dental work in it, and those listings carry a "Surgery & dental" tag. Ask the vet where they send patients who need more than a house call.

Usually not. Mobile vets work by appointment, often booked days ahead, and most do not take urgent calls outside business hours. If your pet is in distress, call the nearest emergency veterinary clinic. It is worth finding out where that is before you ever need it.

A mobile vet generally charges a house call fee for the trip, on top of the exam and whatever is done during the visit. Some set that fee by how far you are from their base, in mileage bands. Ask for the fee for your address and whether it is charged once per visit or per pet when you have several animals seen together.

Yes. Most of the mobile vets listed perform euthanasia at home, and those listings carry an "In-home euthanasia" tag. Some also offer a hospice consult beforehand to talk through your pet's comfort and timing. Whether it is time is a conversation to have with a vet who has examined your pet; ask too what arrangements they make for aftercare.

Dogs and cats, yes, and a house call suits many cats that get stressed in a carrier. Only some mobile vets treat birds, reptiles or other exotic pets; look for the "Exotics" tag. If you have an exotic pet, confirm with the vet that they see your species before booking.
