Well, I was pleased with the care my cat was given when they came for the visit, the after care was less than I expected. I was told they would call me the next day with the test results. When I called at the end of that day because I had not heard back. I was told the results had come back, but the vet may not have seen them and they would get back with me the next day. The next morning, I received an email for a prescription cat food before the email with the test results, which were not good and my cat had deteriorated immensely since their visit. I called and left a message for the vet to call me. She did not call until the next morning, at which time I informed her we had to put our cat down. (We were fortunate enough to find an at home vet who was able to come out the same afternoon). I was so disappointed with the lack of response from the Vet on an animal who was obviously very sick. The only follow up since that time has been 2 emails reminding me my prescription was still ready to order. I have asked them twice now to take me off the mailing list. Hopefully , we will not receive other reminders for this prescription. read more

I looked online for a "come to my home" vet service because I am older, 77 and have trouble carrying my 2 cats to the vet. I was extremely happy with the three gals who came. They were very efficient and made my cat feel comfortable. They answered all my questions and checked back by email to ensure my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Capital Home Veterinary Care for your pets/fur children. read more

Now that Spike has had 4 Laser Treatments he seems to have gain some strength in his hind legs. Prior to beginning the Treatments, whenever he fell because of rear leg weakness & hip issues, he would be able to stand himself up about 20% of the time. Now he is able to help himself up maybe 65% of the time. I'm a happy momma! read more

I contacted Capital Home in connection with end-of-life care for my Yorkie who was experiencing kidney failure. We scheduled an appointment within 48 hours. Dr. Holman and technician Ella arrived on time, introduced themselves, and explained the procedure to me and my friends. They met Oliver and spent time making him comfortable. Oliver's last conscious action was trying to make friends with Ella. Dr Holman then administered the sedative, and within a couple of minutes, Oliver curled up into his usual sleeping position. She then expertly found a vein in Oliver's leg, and completed the procedure. No pain, no discomfort, Oliver simply ceased breathing. Dr. Holman then confirmed his death, and gave us a few minutes to say our farewells in private before gently wrapping him in a towel for transport. They were so kind, compassionate, and understanding. Ella seemed to be moved to tears by the emotions stirred up by Oliver's passing. They were always aware of the pain caused by this last act of love. It's a day no pet owner wishes to experience, but when the time comes, I can think of no better place than home, with your pet surrounded by human and animal families, using the skilled services of Capital Home Veterinary Care. read more

Highly recommend, very reliable great service. Very good with details and giving feedback on the information I asked for. Also emailed me additional information for mediation that may help our pet. Text me when they were in route and very professional. read more

STEER CLEAR OF THIS VET. My healthy cat needed ointment for a scratch above his eye. The night before they prescribed Gabapentin pills to keep him calm. One capsule was 3 times proper dosage and it killed my cat in 2 hrs. He trusted me and I euthanized him with 300 mg pill (Calvin was to get another one in the am before his appt, but died on my kitchen floor after the first pill). I've reported them to the Virginia Veterinary Board after his autopsy was performed. Unless you want to KILL YOUR HEALTHY PET- STEER CLEAR. (they did say they were sorry, and quickly offered to dispose of his body before the autopsy was performed, which I declined). RESPONDING to your comments below: You didn't kill him. I did. The proper dosage for a cat is 5 mg per pound, one capsule of what you gave me is for 60-100 lb dog. Per both of our regular vets, (who unfortunately didn't have appts available), 300mg capsule is an ASTRONOMCAL amount to give to a cat which would put him in respiratory failure. If the capsule at night wouldn't have killed him, the capsule you required we give him in the morning of the appt would have. He had a scratch near his eye that caused some mucus material and sometimes crust to form in corner of his eye. He had it years ago, and ointment clears it up. I absolutely pay extra and request that Calvin be given gas sedation if exams and checkups are any length of time. That's for his benefit and allows vets to do thorough exams. Not skip over things due to cat fidgeting, etc. When my husband said you give 300mg capsules out as standard procedure for all cats, there were 7 capsules in total in the bottle, that caused me to sound the alarm ...so owners are aware that a 300mg capsule can kill a cat. It's the dosage for a 60-100 lb dog per manufacturer. I have PROFOUND survivors guilt because I gave him the capsule that night as your Rx and the bottle instructions requested. read more

A great experience at a sad time. We had to end our 17 y/o tabby cat's life, he was very sick from kidney failure and was not gonna recover. After making the appointment with April on the phone, Erin and Kaitlyn came over as a team. They both very clearly cared about our pet's welfare, and last moments in this world. Made a tough thing a lot easier to deal with. Both my wife and I are grateful that this option is available, rather than going to a vet's office and the animal spending it's lost hours in a scary place on a stainless table. Great people and great service. read more

I was sure my 17 year old cat was dying. He had been losing weight, and not eating well. Then he got diarrhea. I called Capitol Home Veterinary Care along with other home vet businesses. They were the only ones who could come out during the pandemic in a reasonable amount of time. My cat freaks out in the car, so I was nervous about even carrying him out to their van. I was crying while they examined him in the van, sure that they would tell me there was nothing they could do. But guess what? They gave him fluids, drew blood for lab work, and prescribed steroids, a gut antibiotic, and an anti nausea medicine. I gave the meds, and at first, he was just hanging in there. Then I got the results of the bloodwork, ALL NORMAL! How was that even possible? And day by day, he got a little better. And now, 4 weeks later at the end of the taper of the steroid, he is almost back to normal!!! Oh yeah, he never would really eat the $50 prescription food, but he is eating! Diagnosis? Inflammatory bowel disease. A manageable condition. Even though this service was relatively expensive, it was worth every penny. This is why I am a cheapskate when it comes to new clothes, cars, etc. I just don't buy them. I save money for times like this when it really matters. read more

Best Vet! Dr. Erin Dexter and her competent crew have been taking care of my pets since I moved to Richmond 7 years ago. The care is beyond compassionate when you have to say goodbye to a furry family member, I tear up thinking about how kind Erin was in those difficult times. Their professionalism from the routine to the most serious situations is at the highest level. Now I have a crazy puppy who is not the most cooperative but between Nicole and April they are able to get her in the van and get her settled. Dr. D. tells the truth (pup has to lose a few pounds) and notices everything. They answer every text quickly- seem to always be on call- perfect for a novice dog owner like me. I believe the prices for services are competitve with brick and mortar Vets and worth every penny. You will be delighted with them. Can I give more than 5 stars? read more

Caring and compassionate. I have used capital home Health for sick visits and, most recently, for euthanasia. They were wonderful each time. Highly recommend. read more

I love Capital Home vet! My cat is so difficult to try to physically take out of the house because he has such bad anxiety. He still isn't thrilled about being examined but so much less stressed than he would be at another vets office. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this service. excellent care brought to you. much easier for the pet and for the owner.

Many many thanks to Dr. Dexter and her assistant who came recently to our home to help us send our precious fur baby over the Rainbow Bridge. They were sensitive, accommodating, gentle, loving and compassionate, giving us great comfort knowing our baby girl was comfortable and stressless. This being our first experience saying goodbye to a precious family member, I would recommend this service to anyone who needs the utmost care dealing not only with your beloved pets, and owners too experiencing heartbreak. And thank you for the paw print....a very sweet touch with your service. Grateful. read more

Capital Home Veterinary Care has always provided premium service and has been able to pinpoint issues and offer preventive care solutions when other veterinarian clinics have been unable to provide advice on breed specific issues. Dr. Dexter and team are true specialist and have worked with our pets through it all (e.g. digestive issues, allergies, eye tears, etc) and have been the most compassionate when it was time to say good-bye to one of our older dogs. They are not only our choice for care but we consider them family! read more

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Capital Home Veterinary Care! Our prior vet closed without notice leaving us without a vet when our kitty became sick. After receiving a cancer diagnosis for her from a local veterinary hospital and being given a high quote for surgery that probably would not have been successful, we turned to Capital Home Vet to help us with palliative care and what we know will eventually be a home euthanasia. April and Dr. Morris have been very sweet and caring during this difficult time and we are very pleased that they will be there to help us at the end. We even received a follow up call to see how our kitty was doing after their visit. Their true love and caring for animals is abundantly apparent and we feel very comfortable having our kitty in their knowledgeable hands. The convenience of having them come to our home with their mobile clinic has been great for us as parents and for our kitties as our other healthy kitty usually has a nervous breakdown when he's taken to a veterinary office. I highly recommend April, Dr. Morris and the rest of the team at Capital Home Veterinary Care. Thank you for all you do! read more

Amazing care! Dr. Erin and Katie have become like family. I love that they have gotten to know us and our pets. Talk about personalized care, being able to email them directly and always get a quick response is amazing... And we pay the same, if not less, than our old vet... And all I have to do is walk my pets out to the driveway! Love them! read more
