Services
Home Visits
Our mobile veterinary service brings comprehensive care directly to your home. We offer routine check-ups, vaccinations, diagnostics, and treatment for sick pets in a stress-free environment. This service is ideal for multi-pet households and animals with mobility issues, ensuring personalized attention while minimizing exposure to contagious diseases.
Wellness Exams
Preventative care is essential for maintaining pet health. Our nose-to-tail examinations identify potential issues early, covering dental health, weight management, and organ function. These regular assessments help create customized wellness plans tailored to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle needs.
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and bordetella. Our team develops customized vaccination schedules based on your pet's age, health status, and risk factors to ensure optimal disease prevention.
Lab Tests
In-home diagnostic testing includes blood work, urinalysis, parasite screening, and heartworm tests. These services enable prompt identification of health issues like infections, diabetes, or organ dysfunction, allowing immediate treatment planning without clinic visits.
Microchipping
Permanent identification through microchipping significantly increases reunion chances for lost pets. The quick, minimally invasive procedure places a rice-sized chip under the skin, containing contact information accessible via scanner at shelters and veterinary clinics.

The virtual visit with Dr. Perry and the in home follow-up visit with Dr. Coughlin were both very professionally handled. Both vets (and Dr. Coughlin's assist) truly cared, were completely professional and most importantly provided great care for Bennie. His hot spot is well on the way to being healed up. Great service! THANK YOU!

The vet was very knowledgeable and concerned about my animals problems. The mobile vet service is so convenient as my cat hates carriers.

I have to thank you! Zoey had the best veterinarian visit of her life on Monday. (She's 9 ) I am hoping to keep you as my new veterinarians from now on. I also have a cat. Dr. Santore & Tara we're wonderfully calming & very informative.

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful service I received from Better Vet. While I was out of town my senior cat was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease by Oceana Pet in Pacifica. They recommended 48 hours of emergency care, which was far outside my budget. I was hesitant to use Better Vet because I wanted a personal connection to the vet, but some of the mobile vets who were recommended to me had transitioned to working for Better Vet.

I emailed explaining my situation and they emailed back in a timely fashion reassuring me that the vet would bring all the necessary supplies for my cat's condition. When the vet arrived my cat had had a seizure and needed euthanasia, which was my absolute worst case scenario. The vet was incredible! She talked me through what was happening, she was so kind and reassuring, and someone from thousands of miles away I felt good about making this awful decision and trusted my baby was in excellent hands. Many, many thanks to the entire Better Vet team. I will recommend their services without hesitation--honestly, so many Bay Area vets seem egregiously overbooked and profit driven, and this seems like such an obvious better option.

Dr Santore and Tara Bronlow were excellent with Atlas my eighty pound Rottweiler. Both were calm and professional and thorough in their assessment. Having them both come to our home decreased Atlas' anxiety and led to a better experience for him.

Our vet is awesome. She was on time. Spent time checking my other cat also. Prescribed medications needed which she had with her. It was over all an excellent experience Dr. Coughlin is the best. Will not only refer her but will definitely use her in the future. Believe me you can't go wrong. My cats were very calm. They were not all freaked out which was the best part. Thanks so much Dr Julia Coughlin. You rock.

We had a vet and nurse team come to our home for a well-kitty checkup. The flexibility and convenience was priceless. And the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Bettervet in the San Jose area. Here is a list of the positives I observed during my first experience with Bettervet. 1. Online booking of an appointment 2. Follow-ups via email. 3. Next-day availability 4. Arrived on time 5. Friendly and compassionate 6. Thorough and knowledgeable

BetterVet is so convenient and easy to use! I was even able to keep my vet that I've had for years when she transitioned from a traditional veteriany hospital to BetterVet. Thank you!

The ability to get a house call from a veterinarian is such an incredibly convenient option. They showed up on time, we're very friendly and expertly worked up my pets. My rottie is such a big baby, but blood draw and vaccines were not an issue. I feel that I am not sacrificing continuity of care in the least. I highly recommend BetterVet to anyone and everyone!

Our experience with Dr. Santore was excellent! We're pretty much house bound, and it's good to have a vet team that can come to our home.
