Mobile Vet

On October 4, 2021, I called for an emergency check up on my 9 year old English Sheepdog. Prior to calling, she had been limping significantly with obvious pain. Having used your services before to have another dog of mine end her suffering, which you did with lovingly care and understanding, I knew who to contact in this case. When I called, I was told by your office that you would be unable to see my dog due to being booked. As I consider my pets my children, I expressed if there was anyway that the Dr. could see her. After being put on hold, I was told for a travel fee of $700.00, the Dr. would be able to see her. I agreed and had no hesitation to pay the fee quoted. The Dr. came. Did the examination. And I was pleased to know that it was just a sprain. Medication was prescribed. The Dr. left and a young lady stayed to review the services and fee. The travel fee changed from $700.00 to $1,100.00 and the medication, glycoglex and carprovet, was an additional $350.00 plus. At that time, I did not question the high cost. My girl was my priority. Now that my girl is older, I decided to seek Mobile Vet services, just in case. When I saw your listing, it took me back to October 4, 2021. I am in no means criticizing your expertise. You have demonstrated that you are highly qualified. I just do not want you to forget the ethical part of your services. I live in Silverlake and I question, were you justifiable in charging a $1,100.00 travel fee? Again, I am not disgruntled, as it may be interpreted I am. I just do not want you to do this to anyone else. It isn’t right. M. Villegas

Dr.Cauble is great. I was having a lot of trouble finding someone to come see my guinea pig on short notice, but he was here within 2 hours of calling. He worked fast and gave me all the information I needed to make sure my pets are healthy.

Called to get rates. My senior Rottie (who weighs in at about 120lbs right now) is going to need home vet visits as she approaches the end of her wonderful years as my baby girl. This mobile vet’s rates for their professional service are completely reasonable. Travel time is excluded (which is expected, electricians & plumbers expect to be paid for travel time so yes I’d expect a DVM to bill the same). Very polite, quick call back. A mobile vet with some kind of bargain basement pricing is not what I’m looking for. I’ll look for discounts for hair/nails etc not the life of my best fur girl.

Mobile Vet handled my very agitated kitty like champs. My cat is the biggest scaredy cat and vet visits are extremely anxiety inducing for both of us, but mobile vet did a good job giving him his vaccinations and working with him. I really appreciate all their hard work.

Just called this vet at the recommendation of another. I wanted a quote for their visit fee. Just in case anyone else is looking, it's $90 just for the drive (from glendale to studio city), and then $95 for every 15 minutes of the visit (that's not a typo), and all services beyond just looking at the pet are extra. Maybe I'm missing something, but this is absolutely insane pricing to me. Not only that but the receptionist was flippant when I asked her to clarify that the $95 was per 15 minutes. I'm trying to find a vet because my dog is very fearful and I'm having a hard time sending her into the vet alone, but this is highway robbery. *To address the response below: The examination is the doctor's expert time. This is semantic pedantry. $90 for a 10-15 minute drive is absurd, as is $95 for each 15 minutes of time. There was no doubt about those being the charges, as that's what I was told on the phone. This is just a warning for any other pet parents who might be looking for a mobile vet. There are more reasonably priced experts available in the area.
