Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive nose-to-tail exams detect health issues early through physical assessments and diagnostic testing. Veterinarians evaluate weight, coat condition, dental health, and organ function during home visits. Regular check-ups help maintain pet wellness while minimizing stress from clinic visits.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccines including rabies, parvovirus, and feline leukemia in home settings. Customized vaccination schedules protect pets from infectious diseases while avoiding clinic exposure risks. Our team explains vaccine benefits and potential side effects during visits.
Home Lab Tests
Blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screenings conducted at home provide rapid health insights. We collect samples for external lab analysis when advanced diagnostics are needed. Results guide treatment plans for chronic conditions and acute illnesses.
Microchipping
Permanent microchip implantation improves lost pet recovery chances. The rice-sized chip stores contact information accessible via scanner. We register chips in national databases and explain registration maintenance during implantation visits.
Nutrition Advice
Veterinarians create customized nutrition plans considering age, breed, and health status. We recommend portion sizes, food types, and supplements to address obesity or medical conditions. Home environment assessments help optimize feeding routines.

Dr. Carolyn Santore of BetterVet was fantastic. I love the convenience of the service first of all. It fits my lifestyle perfectly. Ordering was easy, and I wasn't charged until the services were provided. They came earlier than my scheduled appointment, and tried calling me to make me aware however I didn't have my phone on me. But it was fine. They took great care of my dog and answered all my questions.
They got her caught up on her shots and everything without me leaving my home. I love the service and hope they add teeth cleaning very soon. I plan on using them for my pet care going forward and I'd recommend them to anyone, especially those that are far from good veterinarians or have challenges traveling to and from a vet.

Dr. Olivia came today to care for my "street" cat that adopted us. She was awesome! Fiona warmed right up to her and did great being examined. Shot and chipped wasn't too happy with but no one was injured in anyway! I would highly recommend Dr. Olivia and Better Vet to anyone who asks!

Dr Santore and Tara Bronlow were excellent with Atlas my eighty pound Rottweiler. Both were calm and professional and thorough in their assessment. Having them both come to our home decreased Atlas' anxiety and led to a better experience for him.

We had a vet and nurse team come to our home for a well-kitty checkup. The flexibility and convenience was priceless. And the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Bettervet in the San Jose area. Here is a list of the positives I observed during my first experience with Bettervet. 1. Online booking of an appointment 2. Follow-ups via email. 3. Next-day availability 4. Arrived on time 5. Friendly and compassionate 6. Thorough and knowledgeable

Had our first in-home BetterVet appointment for our very nervous new-guy, Nutmeg. Dr. Santore (and the vet tech whose name I didn't get) were absolutely amazing. I feel really grateful to have found them and this service which makes it easier on all of us.

The ability to get a house call from a veterinarian is such an incredibly convenient option. They showed up on time, we're very friendly and expertly worked up my pets. My rottie is such a big baby, but blood draw and vaccines were not an issue. I feel that I am not sacrificing continuity of care in the least. I highly recommend BetterVet to anyone and everyone!

Our experience with Dr. Santore was excellent! We're pretty much house bound, and it's good to have a vet team that can come to our home.

Wonderful, convenient and professional services! At Windsong Shih Tzu, we take great care and pride in our dogs and puppies and will only use the highest quality Veterinarians.

I was immensely impressed by the friendly and polite doctors and techs. Their skill set and knowledge of vaccines and husbandry was immediately evident. I've
