For pet owners relocating across town or from across the country, finding a vet in the new area is most definitely a priority and consideration.

  I've recently found The Visiting Vet, and have been absolutely thrilled with both Dr. Martineau and the service she provides.

  We have cats, and they don't really enjoy being packed into a carrier, driven in the car and then taken to the vet's office. They cry and shake, are overwhelmed with the foreign sights, sounds and other animals, coming home thoroughly exhausted.

 I'd heard of the mobile vet services before but we never used any of them until recently. I am definitely ecstatic that we found Dr. Martineau. She's very gentle with our animals and seems to genuinely care about them.  We've called her on a couple of occasions with concerns and she was readily available and willing to listen and answer our questions.

 In the past we've encountered vet offices that seemed highly focused on adding additional services or products (one even offered a "tlc" package for an additional charge of course!) but I've never felt that way with Dr. Martineau. She truly seems focused on providing the appropriate care for our pets. As most pet owners know, they're not just animals, they're members of the family and Dr. Martineau really seems to understand that.

 Most recently we had Dr. Martineau back for rabies shots. The cats got to stay at home, it was over in just a few minutes and they actually seemed much more relaxed than when we've previously had to take them for their shots. She even remembered to bring antibiotics for one of them, although they turned out to not be necessary. I was impressed that she remembered.

 So, if you're new to the Charlotte area or if you're looking for a reliable vet service for your four legged family members, the Visiting Vet is another (in my opinion, awesome) option.
