Addison County Mobile Veterinary Services

For pet owners across Addison County and the surrounding Vermont region, finding high-quality veterinary care that minimizes stress for both the animal and the owner is a top priority. The **Addison County Mobile Veterinary Services** answers this need by bringing a full range of professional veterinary care directly to your doorstep. This innovative, in-home service fundamentally changes the veterinary experience, particularly benefiting pets who experience fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) when visiting a traditional clinic.

Operating as a mobile veterinarian and animal hospital, Addison County Mobile Veterinary Services—led by Dr. Megan Swasey—is built on a foundation of compassionate, empathetic care. Their unique model eliminates the hassle of transport, car rides, and crowded waiting rooms, allowing your dog or cat to receive medical attention in the comfortable, familiar setting of your own home. As one customer noted, the team provides **“true service”** to dogs who have always disliked visiting a vet’s office, highlighting the significant reduction in anxiety for nervous pets. This commitment to a low-stress environment ensures a more accurate physical exam and a positive experience for your companion.

This practice is a true community partner, proudly identifying as both **veteran-owned and women-owned**. Their mission extends beyond routine check-ups; they are equipped to handle a wide scope of veterinary needs, from routine preventive services to urgent care and even minor surgery. This full-spectrum mobile capability means that you can maintain a consistent, high standard of health care for your pets without ever having to leave the tranquility of your Vermont home. They are committed to providing personalized attention, scheduling longer appointments than a typical clinic to truly understand your pet’s unique health history and your concerns as a pet owner.

The team is highly praised by local users for their professionalism, kindness, and ability to handle unexpected situations with grace. For instance, in a time of crisis, a client was able to secure a morning visit for a dog with a large laceration, receiving exceptional care right on the comfort of their couch. This level of immediate, friendly, and comprehensive home-based care makes Addison County Mobile Veterinary Services an invaluable resource for the local community, especially for those managing multiple pets or pets with mobility issues.

The primary service area proudly covers the **Addison County, VT Region**, including but not limited to towns such as Orwell, Middlebury, Brandon, Bristol, Fair Haven, Benson, Castleton, Sudbury, and surrounding areas. This mobile model is a massive benefit for Vermont's more rural residents, who may face lengthy drives to access a conventional veterinary office.

Because this is a personalized, in-home veterinary practice, all visits operate on an **Appointment Required** basis. This ensures that the veterinary team can allocate the necessary time for travel and a thorough examination in your home environment. To book an appointment, new and existing clients are encouraged to call or text the dedicated number to coordinate a visit time. The practice is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, though urgent care requests are triaged immediately to determine if a same-day mobile appointment is possible.

• Preventive and Wellness Care: Complete **Wellness Exams For Pets**, including routine physicals, nutritional guidance, and customized care plans tailored to your pet’s life stage and environment.
• Vaccinations and Testing: Core **Cat and Dog Vaccinations** (including Rabies, which is legally required in Vermont) and routine blood draws for lab work.
• Urgent and Sick Care: **Urgent Vet Care** for sudden illnesses or minor injuries (like the laceration mentioned in reviews), with triage over the phone to determine the need for a same-day home visit.
