Is there a house-call fee for annual, semi-annual, or sick pet exams?
No! Animal House Veterinary Services provides care for your pet without a house-call fee.
How much are exams?
Each pet receives a comprehensive exam for $99.
Do you offer services that don't require a doctor's exam, such as nail trims and anal gland expressions?
Yes! Our mobile tech appointment fee is $85 in addition to the service charge.
Can I refill my pet’s prescriptions during the time of my appointment?
Yes! If you need a medication refill, we ask that you make this request when scheduling the appointment. While we have medications in our mobile unit, the bulk of our pharmacy does not travel with us.
How do I refill my pet’s prescriptions?
You can request a refill by phone or email. We ask that you allow 48 hours for your pet's prescription to be verified and filled. You will be contacted when your pet's medication is ready for delivery and to collect payment. Special orders that are filled via compounding pharmacy may take 2 to 3 business days to arrive. You may also elect to fill your pet's prescription through our online pharmacy. If you prefer Chewy, other online pharmacies, or written scripts, we can accommodate this in most instances.
What areas do you service?
We provide care in League City and the surrounding areas including Kemah, Dickinson, Santa Fe, and Bacliff.
How do mobile appointments work?
The mobile unit will park as close as possible to your location and call you on arrival. For safety purposes, we ask that you bring your pet to us either on a leash or in a carrier. Please knock prior to entering. In the event our arrival is delayed, we will contact you with an estimated time of arrival.
What if I live in an apartment complex?
Our mobile unit is capable of entering most apartment complexes. We will park as close to your building as possible.
What payment methods do you accept?
-
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover
-
CareCredit (veterinary financing)
-
Pet health insurance plans
Insurance can help reduce the cost of veterinary care. While we don’t endorse a specific provider, we can assist with claims. Please let our staff know your provider so we can provide the best service.
