Meet Dr. Desimone
We recognize that a trip to the vet can be stressful for your pets. Because of this, we provide care in their home, which is where they feel most at ease.
Why Vet House Calls Matter
Comfort Level
Most pets don’t like trips to a veterinary clinic or animal hospital. There are always strange animals in the waiting room, new sights, and new sounds, and it is generally an anxiety-inducing experience. By providing care in the comfort of your home, your pet stays more relaxed.
Better Diagnostic Care
When a pet is brought to an animal hospital, the stress can cause it to have an elevated heart rate. This can mask clinical signs of some health problems. An at-home vet visit allows for a better chance of diagnosing health problems.
Reduced Risk
Vet clinics have a lot of animals in and out every day. While clinics do their very best to keep things clean and sanitary, you never know when someone is going to bring an unvaccinated or sick animal inside. This can put your pet at risk of catching an infectious disease. That risk is eliminated by an at-home vet visit.
You Stay With Your Pet
Pet parents don’t always get to stay with their pets during a visit to an animal hospital. That’s not the case with a house call vet. You stay with your pet the whole time.
Your Schedule
Veterinary clinics may only operate during “normal” business hours, which doesn’t work for every family. A mobile veterinarian can better match the schedule of their clients, making vet visits more convenient.
Convenience
Some pets are mobility challenged as they age or struggle with certain medical conditions like arthritis. These pets can be difficult for owners to load into a car and take to a clinic. Likewise, some pet owners don’t have reliable transportation. A mobile vet appointment can happen at your home in North San Diego County.
Multiple Pets in One Appointment
Taking multiple pets to a vet clinic can be a logistical nightmare for pet parents, so they may have to split the visits up into multiple appointments. If you have more than one pet, Dr. Desimone can see all of them in one scheduled visit!

Acupuncture for North San Diego County Pets
Dr. Desimone is trained in both Eastern and Western medical practice and can provide acupuncture treatments for dogs and cats. This ancient Chinese medical practice has been proven to relieve the symptoms of allergies, arthritis, digestive problems, hip dysplasia and other chronic problems.
Needle treatments through acupuncture cause your pet’s body to release natural painkilling hormones and stress relievers. The procedure relaxes the animal’s muscles, leading to accelerated healing and better blood circulation.
At-Home Puppy and Kitten Care
New puppies or kittens need to get a good start in life, and at-home vet visits can be an important stepping stone! Core vaccines, puppy and kitten wellness checks, parasite testing and deworming can all happen in the comfort of your home. Dr. Desimone will also talk about potty training, help perform nail trims, and discuss a healthy and age-appropriate diet for your new best friend.
Pet Wellness Checks
An annual wellness check is a great way to ensure that your pet is staying healthy and living their best life. Your pet will receive a full physical exam from the Visiting Vet. The doctor will discuss vaccines and parasite control, dietary needs for your pet, and much more during an at-home wellness check. This is the best way to identify health problems early, so they can be effectively treated before developing into a more serious disease.
Senior Pet Care
Senior pets especially do better with veterinary house calls. If they struggle with mobility or a debilitating age-related illness, it’s easier overall to have the vet come to you! Older pets often develop arthritis, kidney disease, or other ailments that require special treatment and care.
End-of-Life Care
Saying goodbye to a beloved animal companion is never easy. But with at-home euthanasia from the Visiting Vet, your pet can expire in comfortable surroundings, peacefully and painlessly, with its loving owners and companions. We also offer optional cremation services.
