She felt stressed and burned out, and although she loved healing patients, she wasn\u2019t sure she could continue, given the situation. However, she then made a U-turn that changed her life for the better. Dr. Filos left her brick-and-mortar office to open Bucks Mercer Mobile Vet. She quickly found less pressure in the homes of New Jersey and Pennsylvania pet owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cNow, I could control the number of hours I worked, and it just seemed that everyone was happier \u2014 the pet parent, the pet and me,\u201d she said. <span class=\"s2\">\u201cI was also in a position to select clients, weeding out the toxic clients who contributed to my burnout. It was a question of quality versus <\/span><span class=\"s1\">quantity. I would see less patients but be able to <\/span><span class=\"s2\">give them better, focused care without being interrupted by phone calls, emergencies and other drama that comes along with working in a multidoctor practice in a brick-and-mortar setting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Her situation isn\u2019t unique, and it\u2019s one reason that mobile veterinarians are becoming a practical and efficient option for pet owners. The business model also makes sense for the veterinarians. After all, they can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Set their own schedule to improve their work-life balance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Spend more time with patients.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Avoid rent, utilities and other traditional expenses.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s3\">Delivering Convenience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s no wonder that published reports list nearly 30,000 mobile veterinarians in the United States. Some of them work for brick-and-mortar clinics that expanded into offering in-home visits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAs the demand for convenience in veterinary care grows, having a mobile option can set a practice apart from competitors,\u201d said Dr. Bethany Hsia, who has practiced for over 14 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">She worked for two clinics before becoming a mobile practitioner and a co-founder of CodaPet, a nationwide network of veterinarians providing in-home euthanasia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cToday\u2019s consumer expects convenience \u2014 food delivery services, e-commerce, et cetera \u2014 to come directly to their <\/span><span class=\"s2\">home,\u201d Dr. Hsia said. \u201cIt positions the veterinarian as adaptable <\/span>and responsive to client needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dr. Alicia Moon, who owns Moon Mobile Veterinary Service in Loganville, Georgia, was motivated to transition from a brick-and-mortar clinic to a practice on wheels due to the benefits she heard about from others who made the switch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMost importantly, it gave me the freedom to make my own schedule and have some time outside of four exam walls, typically with no windows,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dr. Abbi Russell, who owns Emerald Coast Mobile Vet in Panama City, Florida, said the biggest motivator in her switch was seeing a need for home care in her community. There wasn\u2019t another mobile service within 200 miles, Dr. Russell said, and she constantly met clients in a traditional practice whom she knew would benefit from a house call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI was also seeing the rise of corporate consolidation of clinics, and going mobile allowed me to independently own my own practice at a fraction of the cost of a traditional brick and mortar,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s3\">No Looking Back <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Transitioning to a mobile practice has plenty of benefits. For instance, those veterinarians can reach pet owners who have mobility issues or might not have easy access to a traditional clinic, especially in rural areas. What\u2019s more, transporting sick pets to a veterinary clinic can be challenging for owners and stressful for both client and patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_78051\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78051\" class=\" wp-image-78051\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Bethany-Hsia-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"410\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Bethany-Hsia-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Bethany-Hsia-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Bethany-Hsia.png 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-78051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Bethany Hsia co-founded in-home euthanasia provider CodaPet.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dr. Emma Fulton, who lives in Liverpool, England, worked alongside a friend in a mobile unit in 2023. The experience opened her eyes to what\u2019s possible outside of a traditional clinic and convinced her to follow in her friend\u2019s footsteps. She quickly discovered that switching to a mobile operation allowed her to slow the visits and focus on each patient. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWithout the constant shuffle of a crowded waiting room, I was able to spend more quality time with pets and their owners, which helped in fostering stronger, trusting relationships,\u201d she said. \u201cIt brought a sense of connection that I don\u2019t often feel in the rush of a typical clinic day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dr. Russell found numerous benefits for herself and her Florida clients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe biggest is convenience \u2014 clients don\u2019t have to leave their homes to receive vet care,\u201d she said. \u201cAlong with that comes the advantages of less stress on the pets and getting to see multiple pets at one time, as we have numerous clients who have anywhere from five to 10 pets. You also get to see pets in their daily environment, which can sometimes help with diagnosing and treating them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, a scared cat arrives at a brick-and-mortar practice and immediately wants to hide in its carrier and hiss. In a home setting, Dr. Russell said, cats like that purr and head-butt her hand in a display of affection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI can easily do a full physical exam and maybe pick up on something that could get missed in a traditional practice because that pet isn\u2019t as cooperative for an exam,\u201d she said. \u201cAs mobile vets, we also get a more intimate interaction with clients, and this makes client compliance easier due to that extra level of trust they have with us.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Plus, she finds more time for patient care. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of downtime when driving between appointments,\u201d Dr. Russell said. \u201cI have a technician who travels with me, so we use that time for her to call clients back, finalize records, and do any other managerial work. This helps reduce my workload and focus more on patient care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the most significant benefits Dr. Hsia has seen since going mobile in California concerns financial matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOperating a mobile practice involves lower overhead costs compared to maintaining a brick-and-mortar facility,\u201d she said. \u201cExpenses related to rent, utilities and staffing can be minimized, allowing for potentially higher profit margins.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Since making the change, Dr. Moon has noticed big changes in her patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cA mobile practice makes veterinary visits more accessible since we come to our patients, and it\u2019s so less stressful,\u201d she said. \u201cThere is no car ride or waiting room \u2014 just the comfort of their own home. There is also no stress from other pets in the clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMobile veterinary visits improve animal health care in that we can see those patients that have a hard time coming to the clinic or get very stressed out in the process of coming to a clinic or being in the clinical setting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s3\">Bumps in the Road<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Not that going mobile is entirely problem-free. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe biggest challenge in the mobile setting is finding an assistant who is trained, trustworthy and a good driver,\u201d Dr. Moon said. \u201cThankfully, I\u2019ve been able to find a few people over the years to help me. I had experience with them in previous clinical situations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">For Dr. Russell, the highest initial hurdle when she went mobile involved scheduling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe service a fairly large area, so we had to come up with a way to be as efficient as possible,\u201d she said. \u201cFor us, this included breaking up our service area into territories and assigning certain days to those areas. We also schedule all our appointments each day using a route planner that allows us to save time and fuel by mapping out all our appointments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Then there is the mobile vehicle itself, which requires regular maintenance, fuel and sometimes working longer hours due to the travel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHonestly, those are all outweighed by the benefits, at least in my experience,\u201d England\u2019s Dr. Fulton said. \u201cIt\u2019s about making it work for you and finding the balance that feels right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">CodaPet\u2019s Dr. Hsia noted another challenge: While mobile veterinary practices can provide many essential services, such as vaccinations, wellness exams and minor procedures, they often cannot offer the full range of treatments available in a brick-and-mortar facility. For example, complex surgeries or diagnostic imaging might require specialized equipment that is impractical to transport in a vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Still, the convenience and flexibility more than outweigh the negatives, Dr. Hsia said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">According to Dr. Russell, being mobile has allowed her to provide more personalized and attentive care for pets, along with enhanced client communication. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis leads to healthier and happier pets \u2014 and clients,\u201d she said. \u201cWith more and more vets going mobile, I think house-call services will become a more normal option for pet owners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color:
