It is holiday time!

We see this patient quite often for ulcerative dermatitis, a common feline dermatologic condition.. He is well dressed, with a purpose.He requires the area covered to prevent self excoriation, which is a fancy medical term for "scratching the hell out of himself"

We Veterinarians have many tools to handle allergy in pets. This guy is allergic to two types of dust mites and ragweed as well as other plants. Testing the pets is simple and our available treatments are effective.

Our clients are the best and so are their pets. Thanks to all. The staff at Animal House Calls, the north shore's oldest House Call Practice

Thanks For Your Business Hi Thank you for putting your trust in Animal House Calls. If you could take just a minute and leave us a review, it would mean the world to us. We are entering our 44th year in Veterinary home visits. You probably realize we've been at it awhile and love this stuff.2026 is a new year, year 44 for us. In 1982 we started out in a Datsun with a box.Then we moved up to a very special mobile vehicle that preformed only about half as well as we did...especially on ice and in traffic. We sold it to a Florida veterinarian.Then we moved on to our Subaru and have been coming to you since then. We are visiting you and folks in about 20 other towns. Since the last decade, several major investment companies have tried our model and failed miserably. Mostly, these failures have resulted from poor customer service. We do have a secret formula: JAN. Our nurse is special and clients realize this. We want to thank her for her amazing devotion and service. See you all soon, B.Witkov, DVM

Possibly the photo alone supplies one reason for a pet bed. If the pet is obese or arthritic, the bed is a great idea. As a veterinarian who has removed part of a bed from a pet's stomach and intestine, the decision must be based on the pet.Excessive moisture on the bed, either from panting or urinary leakage is another reason to avoid the continual series of beds and replaced beds. I always go back to the wise old father of all Veterinarians , Dr. McRuffins ( no such vet): A Dog is not a human!

The owning of several pets is ludicrous, which is why we do it.Ours are dachshunds and Goldens. These guys are clients' pets. But the rule still stands. Pets take time several times a day.

We have two friends saying .....Hi! Actually, these are sisters. They have no use for a paw shake, so butt sniffs will have to do. But there is some straight forward stuff to be done about rude behavior. For example, with poop eating ( quite common), pick up stools quickly and keep pets at a distance from each other until they've relieved themselves.

The Yorkshire Terrier is a petite breed. Little maintenance is needed with Yorkies. Plus...they are kinda nice. Biting can usually be controlled. They tend to bond well with their human caretakers. Orthopedic issues as well as tracheal conditions are not uncommon.If you are indeed unlucky, one may raise a yorkie with serious liver shunt disease. Any toy breed oe even miniature breed does come with potential medical issues. Nevertheless, the Yorkie makes a fine pet.

At Animal House Calls, we have examined and treated pets from ounces in weight to over 225 pounds. Recently we checked in on a foster situation with Yorkshire Terriers galore. I know....abandoned Yorkees? Why? Well....cute pets may out stay their initial cuteness. All the pets we purchase or adopt will require a lot of work, love and patience. The foster family we recently met has a great deal of these virtues.More urgently, these folks need future adopters. One of the services for our clients, provided by Animal House Calls Veterinary Clinic is help with new pups and kittens as well as information on finding these pets.
