Welcome to Paws at Home

We are an at-home veterinary practice specializing in palliative, hospice, and end-of-life care for chronically ill or geriatric dogs and cats.

Paws at Home Mobile Vet is a team of veterinary professionals who come to your home or business to provide palliative care, hospice care and end of life services for dogs and cats. We recognize it can be extremely difficult and uncomfortable for your geriatric or chronically ill pet to visit a physical vet practice. Paws at Home is passionate about providing high-quality veterinary care to your geriatric pet in a more comfortable setting. Dr. Horn is a certified Palliative and Hospice veterinarian through the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care.

Exams take place in your home, yard, or wherever your pet is happiest. The Paws at Home team uses positive reinforcement and is committed to moving as slowly and gently as necessary for your pet’s comfort. We take our time with our patients to keep them as comfortable and unstressed as possible.

Give your older and chronically ill pets the gift of their own personal in-home veterinary care team and let the vet come to you.

What we Do

Our palliative care focuses on enhancing the quality of life for aging or chronically ill pets by anticipating and managing health issues early. By addressing discomfort and slowing disease progression, we help your pet enjoy their golden years in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.
When a cure is no longer an option, our hospice care emphasizes compassionate support for pets nearing the end of life. We prioritize comfort over cure, ensuring your beloved companion experiences peace and dignity during their final days, regardless of age.
Facing the loss of a cherished pet is never easy. Our compassionate euthanasia service allows you to say goodbye in the peaceful setting of your home, providing your pet with a dignified passing surrounded by loved ones. Dr. Horn is committed to supporting you through this difficult time with empathy and respect.
