As a first-time cat parent navigating the learning curve with my kitten, Ozzy, Marc and Christine were the perfect fit for us. They both showed incredible patience and kindness, especially toward me as I learned the ins and outs of kitten care. Ozzy suffers from motion sickness, making car rides challenging, but Marc and Christine provided thoughtful solutions and medication to ease his symptoms. They made each visit easy and stress-free, helping with shots and all aspects of Ozzy’s medical care. It’s clear that Marc and Christine genuinely love animals and understand the concerns of pet parents, which made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and knowledgeable veterinary professionals.

The very BEST veterinary service in the Santa Cruz areas! Took great care of our kitty who had stopped eating! And they didn’t require sedating him to see him because he’s extremely shy. They were the most gentle with our kitty and very kind to us! We were so proud of him, he didn’t need sedation to be examined by such a compassionate vet as Christine! All he needed was alittle TLC and expert veterinary care! Marc & Christine both supplied that and so much more…We are SOOOO glad we found them! HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!

We have two cats who have become increasingly anxious when taking them to our old veterinarian's office in Capitola. We found Dr. Marc and he came to our apt to do an annual checkup and it was way easier on us and the cats. But even if Dr. Marc didn't provide a mobile service (which is awesome that he does) I would still take my cats to him going forward as I found him to be much more helpful than our old vet. He prescribed Credelio Cat for a flea problem we are having and it has worked much better than our previous solution which was the drops from Advantage. Dr. Marc seems like a very intelligent, informed, likeable, honest and professional veterinarian and I am very glad I found him.

I only required Mark's services once when I had to euthanize one of our families dog back in 2012. He had a partnership with our vet hospital in San Martin and was able to come to our home when our dog was showing obvious signs of suffering. Mark and his assistant, Christine, were very kind and compassionate about our situation and were efficient with making our dog comfortable and putting her to sleep. They were so warm and caring after the situation. They provided excellent service. I ran into Mark again a few months later and got to thank him again for what he did for our family. Really great guy. Today, we had to put down another one of our dogs and we used a mobile vet local in our new location. The incident reminded me of how terrific they were all those years ago. Mark and Christine are knowledgeable and genuine people; you can't go wrong in choosing them for your veterinarian needs.

Gustin - Van Every Mobile Veterinary Medicine is absolutely outstanding in their field. Among all the competition out there, Mobile Veterinary Medicine truly shines. Their amazing care & expertise are above & beyond what we have experienced with other vets. The home visit also is SO much more comfortable for your pet - our dog loves them both. In the the comfort & safety of their safe, familiar surroundings, all the stress & commotion we used to go through at the vet hospital is gone. So much better for both our pets AND us. We give Christine & Marc the absolute highest recommendation: Professionalism, expertise & knowledge, responsiveness, and the most caring hearts vets could have :)
