About Us!
Dr. Nate Kleefisch
I have been practicing small animal primary care and emergency medicine since graduating from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013. Currently I am caring for dogs and cats in the primary care setting. I am comfortable treating and discussing wellness, medical issues, recent diagnoses, acute concerns, nutrition, quality of life and chronic medical conditions, quality of life and euthanasia. My goal using mobile idea is to provide compassionate patient care to those who have barriers at a traditional brick and mortar setting. Together we will create a plan to best help your special member of the family.
Why Mobile Veterinary Care?
Mobile veterinary services provide an opportunity to observe and treat a patient in the comfort of their own home.
This method can reduce added anxiety that may cover up an underlying issue. For example adrenaline may inhibit a cough or lameness noted at home.
It provides a more comprehensive assessment and helps get a full view of who your pet is.
Owner/Caretakers are able to complete other tasks around the house instead of driving/waiting for their appointments.
There is reduced exposure to other people and animals.
What to expect at an appointment
All clients are asked to provide a well-lit area, preferably with a rug or soft surface, where the veterinarian can examine your special family member.
Upon arrival the veterinarian will perform a physical exam from nose to tail, discuss findings and create a treatment plan.
If there is an indication for additional workup such as radiograph, ultrasound advanced imaging, you will be directed to a full service veterinary facility. If surgery is indicated you will also be directed to a trusted full service veterinary facility.
There are some instances where a specialist such as a cardiologist, orthopedic surgeon, ophthalmologist, emergency facility etc will be recommended.
The majority of samples are submitted directly to a diagnostic laboratory. The owner/caretaker will be called using the phone number provided with diagnostic results when available.
