Cats Only Veterinary House Calls

This past Sunday was an aweful day for me. I had to put down my best friend Mugsy. He was 21yrs and 3months old. This amazing cat has been with me for nearly half my life. Dr Ehrenberg should be proud of himself for how he helped me ease Mugsy through. In his bed, in my arms. Thank you with all my heart.

I had a good experience with Dr. Ehrenberg. He helped me get my 11 yr old cat to gain weight. She was getting too skinny and had infection and arthritis.
He called to check up on my cat. I have 4 cats so going to the vet is hard. The house call service is great. Will use his service again.

I used Dr. Erenberg for house calls for many years and was always happy with the care he offered for our two cats. Last year we took our 15 yr old cat into the office and had a battery of tests done and they found nothing to explain why she had periodic severe diarrhea and vomiting. Over a two month period we paid almost $ 1000. and no definite diagnosis was made. Finally after trying 3 Rx meds he suggested we try Imodium and that worked.
It began again late last summer and she became very sick and weak. This time when we took her in we had a female vet who seemed to be only interested in how much we were going to spend. She just gave my husband a sheet with tests and costs and told him to decide what he wanted! We had been through these tests various times with various vets in her life (aside from the previous year) and nothing ever showed up. We opted for re-​hydrating her with fluids only and took her home. She perked up and began eating and gaining weight but her diarrhea was uncontrollable and she began pooping all over the house 4 – 5 times a day. After 4 months of this she was becoming lethargic and tired so we decided to put her down.
I called the office to inquire about the cost of euthanasia and was told $ 180 w/​o an exam. $ 240 with an exam. I told Jessica we did not want an exam and verified it would be $ 180. When my husband took her in they weighed her and laid her down to prepare her and left him alone with her. They brought in papers for him to sign when he was crying, he signed then they and gave her the shot. when he got home he discovered they charged him $ 240 not $ 180. When I called to ask them about it they said the Dr. (not Erenberg, the female) decided she needed an exam. They did not examine her just weighed her.
I feel very taken advantage of at such an emotional time. I always really loved Dr. Erenberg but will never use this service again. I requested that Dr. Erenberg call me but he never did. I was surprised because I thought he WAS a really caring person.
We have another cat and are getting a new kitty today and must look for another vet now. Too bad.
I will never use this vet again.

Dr. Ehrenberg is an excellent vet. He’s straightforward and caring, and really takes the time to explain what is going on with your cat. I’ve had vets who immediately jump to the worst case scenario and Dr. Ehrenberg happily does not do that. A mobile vet is not cheap, but he is well worth the price. Oh and he’s very punctual. I don’t think he’s ever been so much as five minutes late for an appointment.
