House Call Appointments

Dr. Steve is generally available for house calls seven days a week, from mid-morning until late-evening. You can check his actual hours of operation on the calendar page, which is updated throughout the day, every day.

Most of Dr. Steve's appointments are scheduled for the same day or the following day. For same day appointments, he'll usually need a few hours' notice. If time is of the essence, he may be able to get to your home within an hour or two, depending on his schedule.

When NOT to Schedule a House Call

In today's busy households, noise, chaos and crowds are often unavoidable. If your housekeeper's vacuuming, your handyman's hammering, or you're hosting all the kids in the neighborhood for a pool party, chances are good that your pet won't be in a good mood for their exam.

The same thing goes for recent grooming appointments! If your Poodle just had her 5 hour makeover, she's probably more than a little peeved. If your Persian kitty is fresh from his annual lion-cut, he'll definitely need some time to relax and collect his thoughts.

The ideal time to schedule a home visit is when your household and your pets have been calm & quiet for several hours, or even a few days. Dr. Steve will appreciate your consideration, and so will your pets!


Dr. Steve's Arrival Time

Dr. Steve makes every effort to arrive on time for his home visits, but Southern California traffic is unpredictable to say the least! Please allow up to 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment time for his arrival.
