About
We are a mobile veterinary service operating in areas of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. We operate out of the Lookout Mountain, GA area.
We started this buisness after years of clients and friends complaining about how hard it is to get quality care for their pets in our area, especially large animals. We realize that most people that have a horse or cattle, also have pets. It makes no sense to have to bring all your animals to different veterinarians to receive care.
We are here to be the one veterinary team for all of the animals in your life.
PetPortal
Once you become a client, you will automatically have a PetPortal created for you.
All you have to do is pick your password and you will have access to all sorts of tools and information for you and your pets.
What is PetPortal
PetPortal is basically a website only you and your vet can access. We have set it up so that you can do many things from it such as request appointments, ask questions, request refills, and you will always have full access to your pet's records.
Why should I care?
We use it for online booking of appointments and is the easiest way to communicate with us. It also gives you complete control of when you access your pet's records.
Being a mobile vet means we are in cellular dead zones or seeing other patients when you call. We do not have a recepionist. While we will try our best to answer calls, it is simply impossible to always be available.
Besides, who wants to wait on hold or wait for a call back just to get a refill for a medication your pet has been on forever?
Or panic to get the records you told your partner you got last week for the boarding appointment that starts in 10 minutes?
How much does it cost?
Zero.
Seriously, no subscription, no trial, and no minimum spending limit with us. As soon as you are a client, you get one for free.
We pay for the system built into our practice management software so you can spend less time waiting on hold or driving to pick up paper records, and more time with your pets.

Step 2: Click appointments in the top right
Step 3: click request appointment in the middle of the page
step 4: click the red + with add pet beside it at the bottom of the list of your animals.
