Housecall Policies for The Visiting Veterinarian

To make an appointment for a veterinary house call, call Dr. Celeste Conn at (410) 708-2608.  If we’re on a house call and you get the recording, please leave a message with your name, telephone number, and a brief description of your needs.  Dr. Conn will return your call as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.

Plenty of time is scheduled for your appointment so that you and your pet will receive the attention you need.

Our goal is to provide superior medical care to our patients and their people.  To that end, we ask the following:

• Please have your cats confined to one room upon our arrival — it’s hard to get a cat out from under the bed!  (If your cat is shy, it is best to close him or her in a small room prior to the appointment.)
• Please have your dogs inside so we don’t have to chase them across the back forty.
• Please have your checkbook handy. We don’t take credit cards. We love cash!

If your pet wasn’t confined and is unavailable for examination during a scheduled appointment, we will charge the house call fee due to time spent traveling. If you are unable to find your pet prior to his or her appointment and need to reschedule, please call ahead of time.

We are happy to give multi-pet discounts — just ask! We also love it when neighbors get together and have the vet visit. We give discounts for that too.

We appreciate it when someone can hold the pet to facilitate the visit. But if necessary, we can arrange for a helper to hold. (That costs a little extra.)

We do not collect or give out any information to any third party vendors or internet businesses. No information will ever be disclosed to outside parties.

It’s that simple! And we strictly adhere to this policy.

The Visiting Veterinarian recognizes the importance of protecting the personal privacy of its clients, its patients and those individuals who simply visit our site. At no time is any information given out about the client or the pet without the consent of the owner.
