Essential Veterinary Services & House Calls
Essential Veterinary Services
Thank goodness we live in a time and a country in which pets are family, too! Veterinary services are essential to the health and well-being of our whole family.

Did you know veterinarians monitor and report emerging and communicable diseases in partnership with State and Federal health agencies?
Did you know veterinarians inspect your food supply from start to finish to ensure safe and wholesome meat, eggs and milk?
Did you know veterinarians conduct invaluable basic science research to benefit not only animals, but people as well? These are some of the reasons veterinary medicine is designated an essential service during the pandemic.
House Call Veterinary Services
Dr Truli is stricter than the AVMA House Call Guidelines
Dr Truli has always practiced house calls in a manner to avoid cross-contamination between households. Whenever possible, Dr Truli uses single-use sterile supplies. All equipment is decontaminated and washed regularly. You may request shoe covers be worn in your home. Dr Truli even wears completely washable shoes to ensure a fresh start each morning!
Dr Truli practices telemedicine and drop-shipped refills or delivered them to your door as a routine practice for her registered clients.
A Note About Accessibility and Flow- AKA “How It Works”
Dr Truli is remarkably accessible. However, if you are a first-time caller, you may feel out-of-sorts because a solo-practice house call holistic veterinarian cannot, does not, and should not operate like an animal hospital. There are no receptionists, phone trees or assistants for this veterinary practice!
This means, if you are a new client or if you are calling from a phone number you have not shared with Dr Truli, the doctor will call you back as soon as possible.
Once you are a registered client, your name comes up on the database when you call and Dr Truli will respond as soon as possible. Most clients text or email.
Many people ask “what hours are you available?” or “how far ahead are you booking out?” The truth is–the holistic practice has an ebb and flow. If you are in need and contact Dr Truli. If she is not available, leave a message. You would not believe how many people text or email at 3am! Dr Truli usually gets back to them in the morning.
A Story About 4am
Siamese purrfection
Doc was fast asleep when the dogs and the husband woke her with a message. “There’s a new client request in the email.”
“Ok, I’ll call first thing in the morning,” says Doc.
“You should email them back now,” says husband.
“They’re going to think it’s creepy,” Doc said.
“No, they’ll think it’s awesome,” says husband.
Doc emails the prospective client. Her cat was diagnosed with kidney failure the day before and she was researching and found VetVMD.com. We set an appointment for 8:30 am that same day.
After Doc and the new client met and took care of the kitty cat and made a plan for him, the client said, “I was so excited you emailed me back at 4:15 in the morning that I woke my husband to tell him.”
He said,” That’s creepy.”
The client said, “No, it’s awesome!!!”
So there you go. That’s how we started a long and happy working partnership focused on the happiness of a gorgeous little cat.
