Lotus Veterinary House Calls brings veterinary care to your living room in San Francisco, San Mateo, and parts of the East Bay. Instead of wrestling your dog into a carrier and sitting in a waiting room, you get a vet who comes to you—which makes a real difference for anxious dogs or older dogs who don’t travel well.

The practice combines holistic and integrative approaches with conventional Western veterinary medicine. So if you’re interested in acupuncture alongside traditional treatment, or want to explore herbal options for chronic conditions, they’re set up to discuss those. But they also handle standard care like vaccinations, dental cleanings, and routine health checks. The team has over a decade of experience, which matters when you’re letting someone into your home.

What you’ll actually experience is a vet who arrives with their equipment, examines your dog in whatever room works best for them—your bedroom, living room, kitchen—and takes time to talk through options without the clock pressure of a busy clinic. Your dog stays in a familiar space where they’re already comfortable, which often means they’re calmer and the vet can get a more accurate baseline on their behavior and health.

This setup works especially well if you have a dog who gets stressed in clinical settings, or if you’re managing multiple pets and leaving the house is logistically complicated. There’s also real value for senior dogs or those with mobility issues who struggle with the car ride and the walk from the parking lot.

You can find information about their services and schedule a visit through their website at lotusveterinary.com. They take on house calls across multiple neighborhoods, so reach out to confirm they’re covering your specific area and to discuss what you’re looking for in terms of care.
