At-Home Vaccinations & Well Pet Care
Gentle Touch Home Veterinary Care provides preventive veterinary care designed to keep dogs and cats healthy through every stage of life. Our mobile veterinarian brings wellness exams and vaccinations directly to your door throughout north metro Atlanta, so your pet receives essential preventive care in a comfortable, low-stress environment.
Why Preventive Care Matters
Regular wellness examinations allow us to monitor your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and make sure vaccinations and preventive treatments are kept up to date. Many health problems, from dental disease to kidney changes, can be managed more successfully when they are found early. Preventive care plays an important role in helping pets live longer, healthier lives.
What Happens During a Well Pet Visit
During an at-home wellness appointment, we evaluate your pet’s physical condition from nose to tail, discuss any concerns you may have, and recommend preventive care tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health needs. Because your pet is relaxed at home, we can often perform a more thorough exam and get a truer picture of their normal behavior.
Our wellness and preventive care services include:
- Comprehensive physical examinations
- Core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for dogs and cats
- Heartworm testing and intestinal parasite screening
- Feline leukemia (FeLV) and FIV testing for cats
- Wellness screening lab work
- Heartworm prevention recommendations
- Flea, tick, and parasite control options
Core and Lifestyle Vaccinations
Core vaccines protect pets against serious, widespread diseases and are recommended for nearly all dogs and cats. Lifestyle vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s individual risk, such as time spent outdoors, boarding, grooming, or contact with other animals. We will review your pet’s history and help you create a vaccination schedule that provides the right protection without unnecessary vaccines.
The Benefits of Wellness Care at Home
Home visits remove the stress of car rides and busy waiting rooms, which is especially helpful for anxious pets, cats who dislike carriers, and senior pets. They are also convenient for multi-pet households, since several pets can often be seen in a single visit. Wellness exams also help us spot early signs of illness; if a problem is found, we can begin care through our basic sick pet care services or create a long-term plan through our chronic disease and pain management care.
