Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mobile/house call cat vet?
Tranquil Tabby is an house call practice. This means we provide all services within the patient’s home where they feel the most safe and comfortable. This removes the need for stressful carriers or car rides to receive veterinary care. And yes, we only see cats!
Will my cat benefit from Tranquil Tabby’s mobile services?
Our in-home veterinary visits are aimed at reducing our patients’ fear, anxiety, and stress while providing quality feline-specific veterinary medicine in the comfort of the home. All cats can benefit veterinary house call care, but cats who are consistently fearful and anxious during car rides and in-clinic visits will especially benefit. Tranquil Tabby aims to redefine feline veterinary care by eliminating barriers that prevent anxious kitties from seeing a vet and empowering families to feel comfortable seeking care for their cats.
When will Tranquil Tabby Arrive?
We aim to arrive at the scheduled appointment time, however due to the mobile nature of the clinic, we may occasionally run late. If we will be more than 10 minutes late, a member of our team contact you.
How far do you travel?
Our mobile clinic services Vancouver WA, Camas, and Washougal. We may schedule visits in surrounding areas on a case-by-case basis.
At this time, we do not cross the river into Portland.
What do I need to do before an appointment?
We count on our clients to be partners in helping us provide a safe, calm, and comforting environment for our veterinary visits. Please refer to our Prepare for a Visit page for more information.
Are you fees comparable to brick and mortar clinics?
We are a speciality feline and house call practice, and our visit prices reflect this. Our visit prices include the doctor’s exam, travel, and extended appointment times, as well as the doctor’s time reviewing and updating your cat’s medical history and charts, evaluating lab work, researching and consulting with specialists, and directing your cat’s veterinary care.
The prices of our veterinary services, such as vaccines and blood work, are comparable to full-service brick and mortar clinics in the area.
What happens if my cat needs additional services not provided by Tranquil Tabby?
There will be times when a patient requires care that we cannot provide in the home. If your cat requires care not listed on our services page, including x-rays, dentistry and surgery, our team will refer you to where these services can be provided.
