Limitations: In spite of the many services that the mobile veterinary clinic provides, there are some limitations.
-
We are not equipped to provide long term or extensive hospitalization, major surgical procedures or radiographs. Patients that require care beyond the capability of the mobile veterinary clinic will be brought to the main Complete Care facility in Lake Echo to receive more extensive care and can be transported back to the client when the vehicle returns to their community.
-
Although we are mobile clinic, we are not an emergency ambulatory service. We may not be able to accommodate all immediate emergencies. We try to see clients on an appointment basis and will see emergencies as present time, schedule and location allow.
- Our mobile veterinary fees are the same as they are at our stationary hospital, which closely parallel those suggested by the Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association. (Note: house call appointments incur an additional housecall fee per visit in addition to the examination/consultation per animal). Payment is due at time of service and we gladly accept cash, debit, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
