Monmouth county, NJ-
My vet, Dr. Glen Stockett (
dr.glenstockett@gmail.com), has left the VCA hospital that previously employed him and gone independent. He provides all care for our three SV boys, F5 Diablo, F4 Mickey Blue Eyes, and F3 Jarvis.
HE DOES HOUSE CALLS!!!!!
Yesterday we had our first house call. He brought a tech with him who was familiar with SV's. The cost for a house call was $100, plus vaccinations.
Typically, after going to the vet Jarvis spends the next 24-36 hours hiding. This whole process took about 45 minutes. Diablo went first (Mickey wasn't due for any vaccines so he just said hi to the doctor and his tech), and then Jarvis was next. I had to work a bit to get him, he bolted on me when he realized I was trying to take him near the doctor, and I have a few scratches (he is terrified of the vet and has been since his neuter), but Jarvis was far less traumatized than he usually is by vet appointments. He had forgiven me, and was snuggling with me again inside of two hours later!!!
If you are in NJ, and are looking for a vet who makes house calls and is experienced and gentle with scared cats, I would recommend him.
