Purrfectly Mobile Veterinary Dentistry & Wellness

All 53 Google reviews rate this mobile service five stars. Owners consistently praise the team for coming to their homes, taking time with nervous cats and dogs, and explaining diagnoses in detail. Dr. Erin, Dr. Stensland, and team members Chandler, Shy, and Estelle appear repeatedly by name, handling geriatric pets, anxious animals, and even end-of-life care with dignity and empathy. Reviewers highlight the value: costs often undercut traditional clinics, and the company prioritises treating root causes rather than masking symptoms. Dental work, UTI diagnosis, surgery coordination, bloodwork, and in-home euthanasia with aftercare planning all earned specific praise. One owner noted the practice helped her manage her senior cat's kidney disease with confidence for the first time in 13 years.

Long-term clients praise individual veterinarians like Dr. Ramos and Dr. Rodriguez for attentive exams and clear guidance, and some find good value in wellness plans for routine preventive care. Many recent reviews describe a troubling pattern: staff and vets quickly label nervous or anxious pets as "aggressive," refuse routine services like nail trims without sedation, then push costly sedatives that often do not work. Patients report being stuck in repeated cycles of returning for failed procedures and paying extra each time. Several long-time customers have left after experiencing dramatic shifts from good service to what they describe as purely profit-driven care focused on upselling tests and medications rather than listening to owners or working with the animal. Scheduling remains difficult, and staffing instability is visible in gaps where vets commute from other locations.
