How does in-home physical therapy for pets work?

In-home pet physical therapy involves customized treatment sessions conducted in your pet's familiar environment. Dr. Rachel assesses your pet's mobility, creates a tailored rehabilitation plan, and performs therapeutic exercises, massage, and range-of-motion work. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes and are scheduled based on your pet's recovery needs.

What should I expect during a veterinary house call?

During a veterinary house call, Dr. Rachel arrives with all necessary medical equipment and supplies. The visit includes a thorough physical examination, discussion of your pet's health history and concerns, any needed diagnostic testing, and a treatment plan. Most appointments last 60-90 minutes, allowing time for comprehensive care without rushing.

Is in-home veterinary care more expensive than clinic visits?

In-home veterinary care typically costs more than traditional clinic visits due to travel time and individualized attention, but many pet owners find the convenience, reduced stress, and quality of care worth the investment. Pricing varies by service type and location within our service area. Contact us for specific pricing information.

Can you provide emergency veterinary care at home?

Lotus Veterinary House Calls handles urgent care situations during business hours but is not equipped for after-hours emergencies requiring immediate surgery or intensive care. For true emergencies outside business hours, we recommend San Francisco's 24-hour emergency veterinary hospitals and can provide referrals.

What conditions benefit most from pet physical therapy?

Pet physical therapy is most beneficial for post-surgical recovery (especially orthopedic surgeries), arthritis management in senior pets, neurological conditions, sports injuries, weight management, and chronic pain conditions. Physical therapy can improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life for pets with these conditions.

How do I schedule a house call appointment?

Schedule a house call by filling out our online contact form, calling our office directly, or sending an email. We typically respond within 24 hours to schedule your appointment. First-time clients should allow extra time for initial intake and health history documentation.

Do you offer end-of-life care and euthanasia at home?

Yes, Lotus Veterinary House Calls provides compassionate end-of-life care and in-home euthanasia services. In-home euthanasia allows your pet to pass peacefully in their familiar surroundings with their family present, avoiding the stress of a final clinic visit. We take time to ensure dignity and comfort throughout the process.

Shasta W-B.

Shasta will be forever missed and forever remembered by so very many.

love to you all ~ Shasta’s family
