Wellness exams

Routine care

A comprehensive annual checkup covering weight and body condition, heart and lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, skin and coat, joints, and abdominal palpation — tailored to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle.

There's a clinical advantage to doing this at home: a dog that hasn't just endured a car ride and a lobby full of strangers has a normal heart rate and normal blood pressure. What Dr. Verble examines is your pet's actual baseline, not their stress response.

Vaccinations

Preventive

Core and lifestyle vaccines for dogs and cats, administered on a schedule built around your pet's actual risk — age, indoor or outdoor life, travel, boarding, and exposure to wildlife all factor in.

For pets who have learned to dread the clinic, this is often the single biggest relief: no more wrestling an anxious animal into a carrier for what amounts to a two-minute injection.

Sick visits & diagnostics

When you need help

Timely evaluation and treatment when something is wrong — vomiting, limping, skin and ear problems, appetite changes, lethargy, wounds, or simply the sense that your animal isn't themselves.

Dr. Verble brings diagnostic capability to your door and can begin treatment on the spot. When a case needs a hospital — surgery, x-rays, ultrasound, or overnight monitoring — he works with trusted local clinics and helps coordinate the referral rather than leaving you to arrange it alone.

Senior & chronic care

Gentle approach

Ongoing support for aging pets and those managing long-term conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, or cognitive decline.

This is where house calls earn their keep. An arthritic seventy-pound dog who can no longer manage stairs or a car ramp doesn't have to make the trip at all, and a frail cat can be monitored regularly without a stressful outing every few weeks. Quality-of-life conversations are also easier at the kitchen table than in an exam room with a clock running.

A peaceful goodbye, at home.

Saying goodbye to a beloved companion is one of the hardest things a family can face. When the time comes, Dr. Verble offers in-home euthanasia so your pet can pass surrounded by the people and places they love most.

There is no fluorescent lighting, no waiting room, no last frightening car ride. Just a quiet, gentle process — at your pace, on your terms.

In their favorite spot

A calm, unhurried experience on the bed, the couch, or wherever your pet feels most at ease.

Family present

Loved ones — and other pets — can be there if it brings comfort to you and your animal.
