Comprehensive Veterinary Care, Right at Your Doorstep

At Trace Crossings Veterinary + Pet Wellness, we bring hospital-quality veterinary medicine directly to your home. Our state-of-the-art mobile clinic is equipped with digital X-ray, ultrasound, a complete surgical suite, and an onboard diagnostic lab. Everything you’d find in a traditional veterinary hospital, without the stress of clinic visits.

We believe veterinary medicine should center around people and pets, not profits or production quotas. That’s why we built a practice focused on thoughtful, unhurried care in the familiar comfort of your pet’s own environment. Every visit means personalized attention, transparent communication about treatment options and costs, and the time needed to truly address your pet’s needs. From preventive care to surgery, we deliver exceptional veterinary medicine with compassion, integrity, and clinical excellence. All from your driveway.

Services We Offer

Annual Wellness Exam

Comprehensive physical examinations form the foundation of preventive care and early disease detection. We perform thorough nose-to-tail assessments and discuss nutrition, behavior, parasite prevention, and any concerns you've noticed at home. The relaxed home environment often reveals behaviors and conditions that might not be apparent in a stressful clinic settings.

Dental Cleaning

Professional dental care performed under anesthesia in the comfort of your home, including oral examinations, ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary. Our mobile surgical suite features comprehensive anesthesia monitoring and pain management protocols. Regular dental care prevents painful infections, tooth loss, and systemic health problems affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Diagnostic Lab Testing

Comprehensive in-house and reference lab services for accurate, timely diagnoses including complete blood counts, chemistry panels, urinalysis, cytology, fecal testing, and heartworm screening. Most results are available during your appointment, allowing immediate discussion of findings and treatment options. We interpret all laboratory findings in clear, understandable terms and develop treatment plans collaboratively with you.

Digital Radiology/X-Ray

Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray provides high-quality images for diagnosing fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, bladder stones, and internal organ conditions. Our radiation-shielded mobile unit meets all safety standards while delivering immediate results we can review together during your appointment. The stress-free home environment often means we can obtain excellent diagnostic images without sedation.

Emergency Care

For true emergencies requiring 24-hour monitoring, advanced imaging, or specialty care beyond our mobile capabilities, we refer to Steel City Emergency Clinic. We maintain a close partnership with Steel City to ensure seamless coordination of your pet's care and medical records. During our business hours, we handle urgent sick visits and can evaluate whether your pet's condition requires emergency hospital care. For after-hours emergencies, contact Steel City directly at (205) 336-7542.

End of Life Care

Compassionate, peaceful end-of-life services in the familiar comfort of home, surrounded by family. We provide gentle euthanasia, cremation coordination, memorial packages, and hospice care support with an unhurried approach that allows the time and privacy you need. Your pet can rest in their favorite spot, surrounded by the people and places they love most, without the stress of a clinic environment.

Laser Therapy

Gentle, painless light therapy that helps pets feel better and move more comfortably, especially those dealing with arthritis, surgical recovery, or injuries. The soothing treatment helps reduce pain and swelling while speeding up healing, and most pets find it so relaxing they often fall asleep during sessions. You may notice your pet moving more easily, playing more, and showing less stiffness after just a few treatments, all without adding more medications.

Mass Removal & Biopsy

Safe removal of skin masses, lumps, and suspicious growths performed in our mobile surgical suite under anesthesia with comprehensive monitoring. Some removed masses are sent for histopathology to determine if they are benign or require additional treatment. Your pet recovers in the quiet comfort of home, which often results in faster healing and less stress.

Microchipping

Permanent pet identification that dramatically increases the chances of reunion if your pet becomes lost. The tiny microchip is implanted just under the skin in seconds and provides lifetime identification recognized by shelters and veterinary clinics worldwide. We register the chip to your contact information and verify everything is functioning properly.

Parasite Prevention & Testing

Comprehensive protection against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors. We provide year-round prevention protocols using premium products and annual testing to ensure early detection before parasites cause serious illness. Alabama's warm climate means consistent prevention is critical, and we'll send timely reminders when preventives are due.

Sick & Urgent Care Visits

Prompt evaluation and treatment for sudden illness or injury in the comfort of home. We diagnose and treat conditions including vomiting, diarrhea, skin infections, ear infections, urinary issues, lacerations, and more with our fully equipped mobile clinic. We can often schedule same-day or next-day appointments and begin treatment immediately rather than sending you elsewhere.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Complete surgical capabilities for procedures including minor soft tissue surgery, bladder stone removal, laceration repair, and more. Our fully equipped surgical suite features sterile instruments, anesthesia monitoring, oxygen therapy, and hospital-grade sterilization protocols. All surgeries are performed by Dr. Miller with over 10 years of surgical experience, and your pet recovers in the quiet comfort of their home.

Spay & Neuter

Safe, professional sterilization surgery performed in our mobile surgical suite with comprehensive anesthesia monitoring and multimodal pain management. These procedures prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks, and often improve behavioral issues. Your pet recovers in the comfort and quiet of home rather than a busy clinic kennel, and you'll have direct access to Dr. Miller for any post-operative questions.

Ultrasound

Advanced abdominal and thoracic ultrasound imaging for detailed evaluation of internal organs including liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, and heart. Non-invasive ultrasound provides real-time imaging that reveals information X-rays cannot, including organ architecture, blood flow, and masses. Most ultrasound exams can be performed without sedation in your home, and results are discussed with you immediately.

Vaccinations

Customized vaccine protocols designed around your pet's individual lifestyle and risk factors, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We'll discuss which vaccines are legally required and which are recommended based on where your pet goes, what they do, and who they interact with. Our goal is to provide the right protection without unnecessary vaccinations, and we can also offer titer testing to check immunity levels before automatically re-vaccinating.

Your pet's needs are as unique as they are.
