How to Save on Veterinary Costs at 6 Whiskers

Preventive care

I cant begin to express the level of gratitude I have for Dr. D'sa and Dylan. From the initial meeting, they showed immense care for my dog and took their time to ease her in to meeting them as new strangers--even winning her over with hot dogs. I had the misfortune of having to send my dog over the rainbow bridge and both Doctor D'sa and Dylan provided continued support and managed my expectations with helpful education and constant reassurance. They made a difficult time as comforting as it could be. They treated my dog as if it could've been their own. You can clearly see their compassion for what they do and a dedication to help our fur babies. I will not hesitate to consider them for any future needs. Truly a dynamic duo.

I cannot thank them enough for giving my dog such a great experience. On top of the convenience of being able to have them to come to the house, they are truly experts. I have a Belgian Malinois that didnt have the best prior experience at the vet, but the team at 6 whiskers was so patient, and calm with her.

Wonderful experience with the 6 Whiskers team. They were relaxed, thorough, and not rushed. They took the time to allow our dogs to get comfortable (as much as they would). One of our rescues can be challenging with vets and they handled him really well. This duo are truly animal lovers, so grateful to have found them!

6 Whiskers Mobile Veterinary is amazing! I was really in a bind trying to arrange moving my two cats to a new home. One of them needed veterinary attention and we simply could not get him into a carrier to take him to a clinic. Enter Dylan and Dr. DʼSa from 6 Whiskers. Their kindness and expertise turned a difficult situation into a much calmer, more manageable one. Iʼm so grateful for their help and would recommend 6 Whiskers to anybody who wants truly exceptional, compassionate care for their pets.

We are extremely disappointed with the care received from 6 Whiskers. They sounded confident when I made an appointment over the phone and that our visit was a normal part of their practice. We have two cats who haven't been to a vet before so they were getting a full checkup and vaccines. Upon arrival, they were very disorganized and it felt like making things up as they went. For example, they forgot to give our cat one of the shots she needed. The husband was particularly unprofessional, he kept telling us not to be nervous and if we're nervous the cats get nervous - when what was making us nervous was how they were scrambling to decide what steps to perform and forgetting things and the wife kept asking him questions and he just kept talking to us about nothing. They also didn't disclose the side effects of the vaccines they gave my cats until after they got them. They were supposed to come back for a booster shot but we did not feel comfortable so we canceled the appointment, and they immediately sent us vet records and basically dismissed us as clients, after I had paid over $1,000 for their "services". Now one of my cats, who was perfectly healthy before the appointment (and was confirmed so by their tests) is suddenly lethargic and experiencing pain in her leg, and when we contacted them about it they just acted like "it couldn't have been from us" and offered no additional advice or care. If you are thinking of using this service for your cats, I would absolutely not recommend 6 Whiskers.
