At Trace Crossings Veterinary + Pet Wellness, we believe veterinary medicine should be built around people and pets, not profits or production quotas. Our mobile practice was founded on a simple but powerful idea: that your pets deserve thoughtful, unhurried, relationship-centered care in the place where they feel most comfortable, their home.
We’ve eliminated the stressful car rides, crowded waiting rooms, and clinical sterility of traditional veterinary visits. Instead, we bring comprehensive, hospital-quality care directly to your door, allowing us to focus entirely on what matters most, your pet’s health and your peace of mind.
