Dr. Schmar is absolutely the best veterinarian I've ever encountered. Yesterday we had to say our goodbyes to our beloved Sadie of 15 years. He was very down to earth and explained the whole process in such a way that we felt at ease she would pass with zero pain. This goodbye was, and still is, very difficult for our whole family. But i couldn't have chose a better person and dr. To assist my ol girl home. Words can't Express our deepest gratitude for how he helped all of us in this. He truly cares for these pure souls as if they were his own. I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Schmar. I am thanking God today for guiding me to him. For 15 years my Sadie loved me and helped me through the toughest times. I owed it to her to pass on home in such a comfortable, painless and dignified way, and for that i owe Dr. Schmar the most praise. He made my last act of unconditional love for my girl, the best i could've ever imagined. A 5 star rating just doesn't do justice for how wonderful he is. He is truly a blessing from above. Thank you Dr. Schmar from the bottom of our hearts. Read Less

We called Dr. Schmar in December, assuming it was to assist us in saying goodbye to our beloved ten year old Mastiff mix. He had been declining rapidly and was unable to walk. We had been administering pain meds for arthritis per our regular vet for several months.. When Dr. Schmar arrived he immediately determined our dog was experiencing an overdoes from the pain meds. Fast forward six months and our dog acts like a puppy again under Dr. Schmar's care. Dr Schmar not only saved his life but also gave him a renewed quality of life he hadn't had for a very long time. Dr. Schmar is professional, friendly, and provides options allowing the pet owner to make informed decisions. I highly recommend Home Pet Care Veterinary Housecalls. Read Less

Dr. Schmar was so kind and very informative with us today. Our kitty, Jackson is feeling under the weather. I called him first thing this morning, and he didn’t even hesitate to schedule him in by this afternoon. He was so kind to Jackson, and you could tell he truly loves his patients and their pet parents. He is very passionate about his job. We definitely found our favorite vet! Thanks for all you do, Dr.Schmar! Read Less

Dr Tom gives the best care to my 3 kitties. Taking my cats to the vet used to be a nightmare. Now it's a breeze to have my cats treated. Dr. Tom helps you weigh out all your options and pick the best treatment for your animal. When my Winston kitty was sick he jumped right in and got us on the road to recovery... or at least as much as a 12 year old cat can recover from anything. He even has a fancy new online chart for your animals that helps you to keep up with thier schedules and medical records.Read Less

Warning: this is a long story, but its worth the read (I think, anyway.) So I had a rough night and day today. I watched over my Rocky like a hawk. I honestly thought he was going to die. Even now, hours later, my emotions are all over the place, and my thanks to God for saving my old fart Rocky know no bounds. Thanks to Rocky and Gracie's vet, Dr. Tom Schmar (owner of Home Pet Care). Around 2 this morning, I told my babies good night and petted them each for a moment. Only Rocky hissed at me. I first thought that he was grumpy, and he was, but I touched his face and found something wrong with the right side. I got a flashlight and found he had a fist sized lump from his lower jaw to his neck. I panicked. I couldn't think clearly enough to figure out what to do. All I could think was that Rocky had cancer, and it was finally time to say goodbye. After a good cry, I realized this lump came up overnight and so was probably not cancer (but you never know). I sent a message to my sister that she needed to take us to the ER clinic that I hated. I just so desperately wanted Dr. Tom to see him. By now it was 330 am, and it was too early to text Dr. Tom. I continued pacing and waiting for my sister to reply, when someone nudged me and said to send a text to his vet. It was now about 430 am, so I went ahead and did it (thinking God was nudging me to do it). Boy, was it ever perfect timing! Dr. Tom replied immediately and said he'd be here around 930. As soon as he got here, Dr. Tom took one look at Rocky and weighed him to find out he'd dropped a pound. He said he'd been bitten and had an abcess. Poor baby! Doc found the tiny scab, took it off, and the abcess drained and drained. Nasty smelly stuff. Rocky got 2 shots (about steroid and antibiotic). He's got 6 days more of antibiotics (yay...not). And then off the lil cat went to hide. The wound is open to finish draining (yuck), but it's best for him. He is already so much better! And it cost me a quarter of what the ER clinic would have charged me. I am so grateful to God for telling me to contact Dr. Tom and that this was such an easy fix. Praise God! Dr. Tom is an amazing vet! Best one I've ever worked with!Read Less

Dr. Schmar is very compassionate and really cares about my cat's health. At her most recent visit with him, I found out she is very overweight, a whopping 14 pounds! He recommended a new food to help her lose weight. She is also very shy and runs whenever she hears a knock at the door. He didn't mind having to retrieve her from her hiding place. If I ever have a question, I can call him and he returns my call right away. He saves me from having to struggle to put her into her carrier to take her to the vet I was seeing. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good vet. Read Less
