Mobile Veterinary Services

Fantastic way for your pets to be comfortable when getting examined.  Dr. Bufkin can come to your house and diagnose and treat your pets.  My three little wiener dogs really like being seen at home and having a vet that comes to them is fantastic.  Dr Bufkin is just a wonderful person and vet and cares very much for the pets and owners.  I like seeing all the great reviews for end of life care as I do intend to call on Dr. Bufkin when that time comes.

I can not tell you how much it means to have a vet willing to come to me.  It is so nice not to have to drag my dogs to the vet.  Renee is always willing to spend time and explain all of my options.  Thank you for your kind and professional services! Read Less

This is a belated review, but I wanted to express that Dr. Bufkin did such a wonderful job helping me when I had to put my beloved Akita to sleep during the Christmas Holidays last year. He had cancer, and it just broke my heart to have to put him down. He was everything to me. She came to the house, and in a very kind and caring manner helped me send him off to heaven. I am so happy I chose her, and would recommend her to anyone who wishes to have a mobile vet. She is a sweet woman, having even sent me a card after the ordeal. Thank you, Dr. Bufkin. Read Less

Dr. Bufkin is kind and generous with her time and knowledge. I have hired Dr. Bufkin to treat my cats on and off for the past 6 years. She is always there when you need her and doesn't B.S. you, she tells you what's really going on with your pet. Wonderful woman and wonderful vet. Read Less

I have known Dr. Bufkin for several years and throughout these years have benefited from her expertise in end-of-life care.  Her knowledge and clinical skills are exemplary, her professionalism is outstanding.  She has always been there when we needed her and w/out exception, our beloved companions have made their final transition peacefully, thanks to her.  We highly recommend her w/out any reservation for end-of-life care as well as routine veterinary care where it is necessary for pets to be seen in their home environment vs. a veterinary clinic.  Robyn Read Less

I have 3 beautiful cats and have been seeing Dr. Bufkin for years.  The convenience of having her come to my home rather than lugging them across town in carriers in the car is priceless.   They are all getting older now and life is not getting easier.  With all their individual 'issues' I am very happy that Dr. Bufkin is always on the same page as I am when it comes to their care and treatment.    My favourite thing about Dr. Bufkin is that her heart is where it should be and that is with my girls. We both want the quality of their life to be our number one priority!  When their time comes I will be calling on her for the same sensitivity and caring that I have always had from her. Read Less

I'm so sorry Raymond had such a bad experience at what is a very difficult time. I'm also surprised. When one of our cats was clearly nearing her end, I called our regular vets at Feline Medical Center in a bit of despair. My cat absolutely despised leaving the house for anything, especially the vet, and I didn't want her last moments on earth after 15 wonderful years to be filled with terror. They gave me Dr. Renee's number and she came over that day. She got the most recent health info on my kitty from our regular vet, checked our girl over, and confirmed our worst fears were true. At the time, my kids were probably 10 and 12 years old, so they grew up with our cats. Dr. Renee did an excellent job of explaining to them exactly what she was going to do and why and what the kitty's physical reaction might be. We then talked to them about whether they wanted to be present or not. My youngest did not, but my oldest did, and we were able to sit with our kitty on my lap and pet her while Dr. Renee very gently went about her sad task. She had such a light touch and was so calm and quiet, the cat barely even noticed her presence. She was purring as she glided off to sleep. Dr. Renee then took the time to talk to my kids about how honored we should be to be such a good kitty family that our cats would rather be at home than anywhere else, and she really helped them with the loss. A few days later, we received a condolence card from her. So, when we were faced with the loss of first kitty's sibling a few years later, we didn't think twice about calling Dr. Renee, and she was just as caring this time as she was before. Not only does she seem to calm my normally "skittish with strangers" cats, she was great with helping comfort my kids. When she first came in, the kids even showed her the memory stones they had made and placed over where we buried our first cat and told her about their plans for making stones for Kitty #2. We haven't needed her services for our new kitties - and hopefully won't for many years to come! - but have on occasion called her for small issues on our dog, things that I wanted checked out but didn't want to drag the dog down to the vet's and sit and wait. She even once gave us a "consult" over the phone for some odd hamster behavior! She has really met our needs on a number of tough occasions and we wouldn't hesitate to call her again. Read Less

I had to arrange to have my 15 year old dog down yesterday.  For such a heart-wrenching ordeal, Dr. Renee Bufkin was wonderful.  She was caring, empathetic and professional.  She called ahead as we had requested so that we were able to remove our children from the house.  She explained the process through each step, she allowed me to spend time with my dog before, during and after the procedure.  I have no regrets for spending a little extra money to make myself and my dog comfortable during her final moments with us.

Well, Poor Old Guy wasn't doing so well.  It was clear after his last visit to the vet's that his pain was increasing and quality of life decreasing.  It was time for my friends to make the difficult decision to let him go peacefully.Because of Poor Old Guy's painful inability to walk, my friends decided to pay more for having a mobile vet come to the house so he wouldn't have to suffer the agony of us having to transport him to the vet again.  Ever try to schlep a   65 plus pound dog paralyzed by the waist down and in screaming agony from a house to a car and then to a vet?  It is not pleasant.  For the dog or the humans.Dr. Bufkin came to my friends' house and gently explained all the steps of what was going to happen.  She made Poor Old Guy's final few moments as comfortable and as dignified as possible while all of us said our teary good-byes.  He was surrounded by sunlight, love, his favorite bed, blankets, and toys, and he let go quietly and pain-free.  What a gift to give to a four-legged friend, to die peacefully in his own home.Her service is not inexpensive, but she takes care of everything so you don't have to.  Dr. Bufkin was respectful, caring, gentle from the moment she arrived. Thank you. Read Less
