Project Description

Diagnostics

If your pet is unwell Dr Katie may suggest further investigation to find out what is going wrong, or to monitor any ongoing conditions.

We can run many of the diagnostic tests available in the traditional vet practice straight from your home! Taking samples can be a lot less stressful for pets but with the same access to a fantastic lab with results from the next day.

Blood tests

Blood tests are available to help diagnose a large range of medical conditions as well as monitor on going medication levels and disease progress.

Blood samples can be taken from many pets in their own home and sent to the lab. Some pets may need more help staying still enough for a sample being taken and a surcharge for a nurse to visit with Dr Katie, or a quick visit to the clinic usually results in a sample being taken with as little stress as possible.

Urinalysis

Dr Katie can run the basic urine tests there and then in the consult. For more in depth tests it can be sent to the lab. For any concerns with your pets urine please try and collect a sample prior to your consult.

Lab samples

Faecal samples, ears swabs, skin scrapes and hair samples can all be taken at home and sent to the laboratory for testing. 

For more invasive procedures or those requiring anaesthetics your pet would need hospitalisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see our frequently asked questions  below. If you have any other questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Vet care in your own home takes away the stress of travel, an unfamiliar place and other animals for your pet. Many dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals are extremely stressed in the veterinary environment. This can make examination and treatment very difficult and cause further problems down the line with repeated negative experiences.
These visits are also often stressful for people, can be inconvenient times and difficult to get to if you don’t have access to transport. Instead at home you don’t have to worry about time wasted travelling or waiting in the waiting room. You can get on with your life at home and Dr Katie will arrive and start the consult straight away.

Our consults are usually 30-45 minutes long. This allows lots of time for getting to know you and your pet, a low stress exam and plenty of time for consults!
In the clinic you will often be allocated only a 10 minute appointment which is a rush to fit in history taking, clinical exam, treatment, questions and history writing! You don’t need to feel that rush with Positive Pet Mobile Vet and Dr Katie is always more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Dr Katie is based in Whiston, Staffordshire Moorlands and works around a 25 minute radius from there.
Covering Cheadle, Leek, Ashbourne, Tean, Endon, Denstone and villages in between.
Zone One and Zone Two areas can be seen here.
Further visits can be arrange but an additional surcharge will be applied. Please contact us to discuss if you are out of area.

Home vet visits are no designed for emergency situations. In a true emergency it is likely your pet will require hospitalisation for further work up and stabilisation (e.g. blood tests, x-rays, IV fluids).
So please ring Lime Trees Veterinary Clinic on 01782 385285.
Their hospital in Meir also host VetsNow for out of hours cover.

Dr Katie mainly sees dogs, cats and rabbits. Guinea pigs, small ferries (e.g. hamster, rats, gerbils, mice) and tortoises can also be seen but for more complex cases Dr Katie would recommend seeing an exotic pet specialist vet.
