Question 1

How much does a mobile vet visit cost in Miami?

Accepted Answer

Every visit starts at $200, which covers your pet's complete physical examination, the traveling fee to your home, and the nursing fee — no hidden charges. Additional services like vaccinations, bloodwork, or diagnostics are added based on what your pet needs. Dr. Diaz Castillo will walk you through costs before any procedure. We also offer Vitality Memberships starting at $39/month (billed every 6 months or annually — pricing shown is the equivalent monthly cost) that include preventive services and member discounts of 15–30% on all services.

Question 2

What areas in Miami-Dade does My Vet At Home® serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve select neighborhoods throughout Miami-Dade County, including Doral, Kendall, Miami Lakes, Hialeah, North Miami, Coral Gables, Homestead, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sweetwater, Westchester, Miami Springs, Miami Gardens, and the Redlands. We do not currently serve Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Wynwood, Aventura, Sunny Isles, or Golden Beach. We are also expanding across Florida — sign up to be notified when we launch in Broward, Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa, and other counties.

Question 3

What is integrative veterinary medicine?

Accepted Answer

Integrative veterinary medicine addresses the root cause of disease rather than managing symptoms in isolation. At VestaSoul My Vet At Home®, Dr. Diaz Castillo combines evidence-based conventional diagnostics with modalities like ozone therapy, homeopathy, and immune modulation to create individualized care plans for pets with chronic immune, inflammatory, or metabolic imbalances in dogs and cats.

Question 4

What conditions does integrative veterinary medicine treat?

Accepted Answer

Our integrative care is designed for pets with chronic or recurring conditions including skin allergies and dermatitis, ear infections, autoimmune disorders, arthritis and joint disease, chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, and age-related decline. These are conditions where conventional medicine often manages but does not resolve the underlying problem. Integrative care delivered in the home environment — where the pet is calm and stress hormones are low — allows for more accurate assessment and better treatment response.

Question 5

Is a mobile vet better for anxious or stressed dogs?

Accepted Answer

A mobile vet is the ideal solution for anxious or stress-prone dogs. Anxious, fear-aggressive, and reactive pets often behave completely differently in their own home versus a stressful clinic environment. Dr. Diaz Castillo has over 20 years of experience with challenging patients and uses low-stress handling techniques tailored to each pet's temperament. Our stress-free approach is especially beneficial for dogs with separation anxiety, noise phobias, or past negative veterinary experiences.

Question 6

How do I know when it's time for at-home euthanasia?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Diaz Castillo uses the HHHHHMM Quality of Life Scale — which evaluates Hurt, Hunger, Hydration, Hygiene, Happiness, Mobility, and More Good Days Than Bad — to help Miami families make informed, compassionate decisions in the comfort of their living room. If your pet is no longer eating, struggling to walk, or seems to be in persistent pain, we recommend scheduling a quality-of-life consultation. Our compassionate in-home euthanasia service ensures your pet's final moments are peaceful, pain-free, and surrounded by the people they love most.

Question 7

Can I get international pet travel papers at home in Miami?

Accepted Answer

Yes — as a USDA-accredited veterinarian, Dr. Diaz can issue both domestic and international health certificates right at your home in Miami. We handle the complete process: physical examination, vaccination verification, microchip scanning, parasite testing if required, and all country-specific paperwork. We recommend scheduling 2-4 weeks before travel, as some countries have strict timing requirements for tests and endorsements.

Question 8

What is veterinary ozone therapy and is it safe for pets?

Accepted Answer

Ozone therapy is a holistic treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O3) to reduce inflammation, fight infections, boost immune function, and promote healing. Dr. Diaz Castillo is a certified ozone therapy practitioner and AHVMA member who uses this integrative approach for pets with chronic conditions like arthritis, skin infections, ear infections, and autoimmune disorders. It's a safe, natural complement to conventional medicine administered right in your home.

Question 9

What makes My Vet At Home® different from other mobile vets in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Susset Diaz Castillo brings over 20 years of experience, a DVM and PhD in Veterinary Medical Sciences, and memberships in AVMA, AHVMA, and the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy. She is certified in both ozone therapy and homeopathy, offering holistic and integrative care options alongside conventional medicine. We provide comprehensive in-home services including wellness exams, vaccinations, bloodwork, EKG, ultrasound, ozone therapy, and more — all in your pet's comfortable home environment.

Question 10

Can I get my pet vaccinated at home in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide complete vaccination services at home including rabies, DHPP (distemper combo), FVRCP, bordetella, leptospirosis, and canine influenza. Home vaccinations are less stressful for pets and just as effective as clinic visits. Dr. Diaz Castillo follows all Florida state vaccination requirements and provides proper documentation for your records.

Question 11

What is included in a home visit?

Accepted Answer

A standard home visit includes a full physical exam, integrative health assessment, and personalized care plan. Additional services such as vaccines, bloodwork, diagnostics, ultrasound, or ozone therapy can be added based on your pet's needs. Pricing is fully transparent — the travel fee, nursing fee, and physical exam are quoted up front, with any add-on services billed only as needed.

Question 12

Is a mobile vet more expensive than a regular vet in Miami?

Accepted Answer

A mobile vet visit starts at $200, which covers the house call fee, full physical exam, and nursing fee in one transparent price. Typical brick-and-mortar vet visits in Miami run $150–$350+ before any diagnostics or treatment are added — and that doesn't include your time driving, waiting, or managing a stressed pet in a clinic. When you factor in convenience, stress reduction, and the comprehensive nature of each in-home visit, mobile veterinary care is a highly competitive value. We also offer Vitality Memberships starting at $39/month (billed every 6 months or annually — pricing shown is the equivalent monthly cost) that include preventive services and 15–30% discounts on all services.

Question 13

Do I need a referral to book a mobile vet visit in Miami?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed. You can book a home visit directly at myvetathomemobilevet.com or by calling (786) 516-4731. VestaSoul My Vet At Home® accepts new patients in Miami-Dade County Monday through Friday, 10am–4pm.
