- Convenience of At-Home Veterinary Care
Cherished Companions offers professional at-home veterinary care for dogs and cats in the Georgetown area, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Jarrell, Hutto, Taylor, and beyond. This service allows your pets to receive top-notch care in the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the stress that some animals experience when visiting traditional clinics. With a focus on personalized, lifestyle-based treatment plans, this housecall service aims to provide pets with a calm, stress-free environment, while ensuring they receive the highest standard of care.
- Why Choose Housecall Veterinary Care?
Choosing a housecall veterinarian has several key benefits. One of the main advantages is the amount of time the veterinarian can spend with both the pet and its owners. Without the rush of having to attend to multiple patients in a clinic, veterinarians can provide more personalized care. This slower pace allows for a stronger relationship with both the pet and owner, fostering a partnership in the pet’s healthcare. Moreover, with fewer patients to attend to, veterinarians can offer more time and attention to each individual pet, ensuring their needs are met.
- Comprehensive Veterinary Services
Cherished Companions provides a wide range of veterinary services that cater to both preventative care and treatment of illnesses. These services include:
- Preventive Care: Regular vaccinations, heartworm testing, FeLV/FIV testing, and complete laboratory screenings to ensure pets stay healthy.
- Illnesses: Diagnosis and treatment for common issues such as allergies, skin/ear problems, vomiting/diarrhea, and dental health issues.
- Chronic Disease Management: Ongoing support for pets with chronic conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, and eye conditions.
The team focuses on offering comprehensive and preventative care to help pets live longer, healthier lives.

- Pricing Information and Payment Options
Cherished Companions offers competitive and affordable pricing for their at-home services. Prices listed on the website reflect a discount for payments made through cash, Venmo, Zelle, or check. While credit and debit cards are accepted, they do not qualify for the cash discount. New patients are welcomed with a comprehensive initial visit that includes a medical history review, a full examination of one pet, and a discussion of personalized recommendations for ongoing care. A welcome gift for your pet is also included. The service includes travel fees for areas within a five-mile radius of San Gabriel Park in Georgetown, Texas. For bloodwork, this is rarely done on the first visit unless immediate attention is needed.
- Affordable Preventive Care Clinics
Cherished Companions understands that not every pet owner may have the financial means for full comprehensive exams. To address this, the clinic hosts low-cost preventive care clinics in Georgetown. These clinics offer essential services like vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, and affordable flea, tick, and heartworm prevention products. The goal of these clinics is to make basic veterinary care accessible to more pets in the community. The next clinic, scheduled for February 16, 2025, will focus on dogs, with plans for future clinics that will also include cats. These clinics are a fantastic way for pet owners to keep their animals healthy, without breaking the bank.
Cherished Companions is dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality veterinary care right at your doorstep, ensuring your pets live healthy, happy lives. With their commitment to preventive care, personalized services, and a compassionate approach, you can trust them with your pet’s well-being.
