Vet Help At Home

What areas do you service?

   I travel all of the North Shore and am willing to travel about 45 minutes to an hour from the Salem area. If you're unsure whether or not I'll travel to your town, please contact me.

What are your prices?

   My prices vary based on many factors including your location, how many pet(s) you need assistance with, what specifically you need help with (whether it's a nail trim versus taking blood glucose levels), if you would like to be trained on how to do something or if you'd like me to take care of it for you, and how often you need me to help.

What made you interested in doing this?
   While working in practice I noticed a lot of owners struggling to give their pets medications, being unable to treat their pet at home because they didn't have the necessary support, or owners who were simply unable to do it themselves. It's hard enough when your beloved furry friend is sick and you want them to be better but you don't have the necessary guidance and assistance to do so successfully. I've  seen owners with diabetic pets who routinely bring them into the hospital to have their blood glucose level taken. But, especially with cats whose blood glucose levels elevate with stress, it's better and more efficient for owners to take blood glucose levels at home themselves - and it's very easy! Some hospitals try to show owners in the veterinary hospital setting, but usually when owners get home and try to do it themselves they are unsuccessful. I want owners to feel empowered in treating their pets with medications or managing their pets health in their own home.

What is a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT)?
    To be a CVT, a technician must pass the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and have either graduated from an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accredited program, have a combination of college coursework and experience in a veterinary hospital, or years of experience in veterinary medicine. Being a CVT simply means that a veterinary technician went above and beyond to further their education and knowledge, and CVTs continue to enhance their knowledge by completing continuing education credits which allows them to keep their credentials yearly. CVTs can also go on to specialize in a particular field and earn a Veterinary Technician Specialty (VTS) which is something I eventually want to earn in my career. CVTs can specialize in numerous fields including emergency medicine, anesthesia, behavior, and so much more.
