The service that sets us apart
What is a hybrid exam?
A hybrid exam pairs an in-person visit from a veterinary technician with a live video consultation from veterinarian during the same appointment. The technician handles vitals and the hands-on portion of the exam at your home, and the veterinarian joins in real time to review findings and discuss a care plan.
How the visit runs
- 1
A technician comes to you
A veterinary technician arrives at your home and handles vitals and the hands-on portion of the exam, where your pet is calmest.
- 2
Veterinarian joins live
During that same visit, veterinarian connects by live video to review findings as they happen — not hours later in a callback.
- 3
You build the plan together
You, the technician, and veterinarian talk through what is going on and agree on next steps before anyone leaves your driveway.
A traditional visit
- Carrier, car ride, and a trip across town
- Time in a waiting room with other animals
- An exam in an unfamiliar room
- Half a day gone from your schedule
A hybrid exam
- The technician comes to your door
- No carrier and no car ride at all
- The exam happens where your pet is calm
- Veterinarian joins live in that same visit
A hybrid exam is not a video call instead of a visit. Someone is physically with your pet the entire time — the veterinarian simply joins that visit live rather than being the one driving between houses.

Common questions about mobile veterinary care
Straight answers about how in-home vet visits work.
A mobile veterinary hospital is a fully equipped veterinary practice built into a vehicle that travels to the pet owner's home. Unlike a basic house call, it carries diagnostic and surgical equipment on board, so a wider range of care can be delivered in your driveway rather than at a clinic.
For many pets, yes. Removing the car ride and the waiting room eliminates two of the most common sources of veterinary stress. Care in a familiar environment tends to keep pets calmer, which makes exams easier and often produces more accurate results. It also helps senior or mobility-limited pets who find travel physically difficult.
A hybrid exam pairs an in-person visit from a veterinary technician with a live video consultation from Dr. Jones during the same appointment. The technician handles vitals and the hands-on portion of the exam at your home, and the veterinarian joins in real time to review findings and discuss a care plan.
