We are lucky to have found a vet that makes home service. In the picture is the son of the original vet who comes for our dogs. Now it seems that the father has retired so the son is taking over. The expense is more, of course, but it is very convenient that the vet comes instead of us bringing our dog to the clinic.

@kobesbuddy the transport is not easy especially when the traffic on the roads is always heavy.

@Alexandoy I get cards in the mail, but still have to make an appointment and transport Kobe to their office.

It is not easy to make a home service to the patients so we understand the service charge.

Most of my vets have made house calls. Of course I need vets for large animals.

I know that a vet for big animals would do home service. My wife's brother is a horse trainer and they have a vet going to the stable once in a while.

@Alexandoy I often schedule the dog vaccines with the horses and goat treatments. They just bring it all at one time. Actually saves me money by doing that as I pay the farm call instead of 2 or 3 office visits too.

@wolfgirl569 that is the most practical, one visit and every animal is treated.

@JudyEv yes, he saved our first dog from distemper at 5 years old. Then he was also the one who administered lethal injection to the same dog when it was 10.

@Alexandoy So you've been his clients for a very long time. He would know your dogs inside out, so to speak.

That is the advantage. We just stay home and the vet comes. It is not easy to bring the dogs to the clinic.

@Alexandoy Glad that you find him to be quite efficient. Has he always been doing visits or is it due to the pandemic?

@piyushbhatia1 yes, I know that. When they have indigestion the grass will make them vomit. But the problem of our dog is different.

@Alexandoy I guess those services will be more and more common now that it seems hard to get those services with lots of restrictions imposed.

@Alexandoy Yes, you are very lucky. With covid-19, I think it would be great if vets made house calls here.

Very nice to have a service like that.
Why do you have prison bars around everything in the photo? Are you trying to keep your wife from escaping from you?

Those bars were installed by the previous owner. It is a waste to remove it so we just let it be. There were burglars during those time before we came here. Now there are no more burglars maybe because they know of my martial arts reputation. Waheehee.

@Alexandoy Okay Bruce Lee, I see. No need for the bars, but doesn't make sense to spend the money to remove them. By the way, I loved you in your last martial arts movie, "Kung Fu Pow Wow."
