Managing your pet’s chronic medical conditions doesn’t have to mean frequent stressful trips to a veterinary clinic. Animal Ally Mobile Vet specializes in providing ongoing care for pets with chronic diseases in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, where stress levels remain low and monitoring can be more accurate and comprehensive.
One of the biggest advantages of house-call veterinary care is being able to perform diagnostics right in your pet’s own home. Many pets become stressed in a clinic setting, especially when they are taken “to the back” away from their family. By keeping everything in the comfort of your home, pets remain more relaxed, and you can be present throughout the process—sometimes even helping with gentle restraint or offering treats to keep the visit as fear-free as possible.
We bring a wide range of diagnostic tools with us, allowing us to perform many of the same tests you’d expect in a traditional veterinary hospital without the added stress of travel:
We perform complete blood chemistry panels, complete blood counts, and specialized testing to monitor organ function, medication levels, and disease progression. Regular monitoring allows us to catch changes early and adjust treatments proactively.
Hypertension is common in pets with kidney disease, diabetes, and heart conditions. Our in-home blood pressure readings are often more accurate than clinic readings because your pet remains calm and unstressed in their familiar environment.
Regular urine testing is crucial for managing kidney disease, diabetes, and urinary tract conditions. We can collect samples and provide quick analysis to track your pet's condition and treatment response.
We offer Freestyle Libre application and monitoring services for diabetic pets, providing continuous glucose monitoring that gives us detailed insights into your pet's blood sugar patterns throughout the day and night. Additionally we can test Fructosamine, teach clients how to assess blood glucose at home and screen for many concurrent issues diabetics face.
We perform skin and ear cytology by examining samples under the microscope to identify yeast, bacteria, or inflammatory cells, and ocular evaluations with fluorescein staining to check for corneal ulcers and other eye conditions. These tests help us quickly diagnose infections, allergies, and disease for effective treatment. We can submit blood tests to assess for and develop immunotherapy treatment for local environmental allergies.
We perform parasite screening through stool tests for worms and protozoa like giardia, along with screening for heartworm, feline leukemia, FIV, and external parasites such as fleas, mange, ringworm and mites. This allows us to detect issues early and keep your pet healthy.
The tests we offer help us diagnose and monitor conditions such as allergies, gastrointestinal disease, pancreatitis, kidney disease, diabetes, and more—all without leaving home. When additional testing is needed, we partner with trusted reference laboratories to ensure results are accurate and timely.
In-home diagnostics not only reduce stress for your pet but also give us the chance to see them in their natural environment, which can provide valuable insights into their health and behavior.
We offer services for diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, chronic eye, ear, and skin conditions, and more. This is not a comprehensive list but below you’ll find many of the most common conditions we can provide at-home care for. Please text us or get in touch if your pet has a chronic condition that is not on the list.

Oral, Injectable (Solensia, Librela, Adequan) and Adjunctive Care:
Managing chronic pain in pets is rarely one-size-fits-all. At Animal Ally, we draw from a broad range of options, education and current information to help pets stay comfortable and maintain quality of life.
Injectable therapies such as Solensia for cats, Librela for dogs, and Adequan are valuable tools that can reduce arthritis pain and improve mobility for the right patients. Oral medications like NSAIDs or gabapentin remain important options as well, especially when tailored carefully to the pet’s health history and needs.
In many cases, the best results come from combining medical therapies with supportive care. This can include joint supplements, nutritional strategies and environmental modifications like ramps, traction rugs, raised bowls, wearable harnesses or orthopedic bedding.
Every pet responds differently, so the goal is to weigh the risks and rewards of each option and build a plan that matches the pet’s health, comfort level, and family’s goals. With thoughtful adjustments over time, we can help pets remain active, comfortable, and engaged in family life.
