Mulberry Lane In-home Veterinary Care is the only Human-Animal Bond certified mobile vet practice in western Canada.

According to the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), the human-animal bond is: “A mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals influenced by behaviours essential to the health and well-being of both. The behaviours include emotional, psychological, and physical interactions of people, animals, and the environment.”

In addition to providing veterinary medical care, we place a focus on the attachment you form with your pet and consider their emotional well-being, not just their physical well-being.

The benefit to you and your pet is a veterinary experience with compassion, empathy and respectful care. We work together to make the best decisions for your pet.

A Fear Free® helps to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. It is founded on the science of behaviour and backed by leading experts in the areas of veterinary behaviour, medicine, and handling.

We understand a veterinary visit can be stressful for pets. We emphasize low-stress handling and use behaviour-centred handling techniques to reduce fear, anxiety and stress in pets. We hold each pet’s emotional and physical well-being in mind while we care for them. We can’t treat one without the other.

There’s more to in-home veterinary visits than just convenience. It’s important we meet pets where they are — in the comfort of their own home — and interact in a way that allows them to feel safe in a familiar environment.

We understand that cost may be a big part of your decision-making process.

When selecting a veterinary practice, it’s vital to know what is important to you and your pet because pricing may affect the quality of care you receive.

Some questions to ask yourself include:

• Is the convenience and flexibility of an in-home consultation important to me and my pet?

• How do I feel about the practice ethos?

• Is my pet’s emotional well-being an important part of my pet’s overall care?

• How much time will my pet and I be spending with the veterinarian?

• Is in-home veterinary care important to me?

If you’re interested in an in-home visit, contact us.

We currently serve Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Richmond, Tsawwassen/Ladner and West Vancouver.

We require 48 hours’ notice for any changes or cancellations to avoid a fee. Missed bookings or cancellations with insufficient notice are subject to a $150.00 fee, which must be paid prior to or at the time of your next appointment.

For in-home euthanasia, it’s important for your pet to be surrounded by their loved ones in their final moments.

Our in-home veterinary practice provides 60-minute appointments. You have dedicated, personalized time with our veterinarian to discuss how you are feeling, what you are observing and the time you need to be with your companion during their final moments.

We do not perform any surgeries in your home. Our mobile veterinary practice is focused on end-of-life care and humane euthanasia. Read more about our services.

Mulberry Lane in-home Veterinary Care is focused on humane pet euthanasia. We transport your companion to Until We Meet Again.

We’re unable to perform x-rays or other diagnostic imaging, spays, neuters, other surgeries or any procedures involving anesthesia or heavy sedation. We do not transport patients to hospital nor have the capacity to hospitalize patients or provide critical care.

If your pet has visited veterinary clinics in the past, an in-home veterinary visit might be an appropriate alternative to reduce your pet’s fear, anxiety and stress.

If your pet has known sensitivities to certain veterinary procedures, please contact us. We want to ensure your pet has a low-stress experience.

Calmer pets pose fewer risks to themselves, caregivers and the veterinary team.

We want to ensure your pet is happy and healthy for as long as possible.

We suggest caregivers purchase pet insurance to cover medical emergencies. Medical insurance for pets help to protect your finances while giving your pet the care they need for unexpected injuries and illnesses. It’s there to help with the high-cost of emergency and specialized care should your pet need it.
