What is an Ambulatory Veterinarian?

An ambulatory veterinarian is a professional who provides veterinary care outside of a traditional clinic setting by traveling to clients' homes or farms to treat animals. I specialize in treating large animals such as horses, cattle, and farm animals, but I can also provide general veterinary services for pets in a home environment. This mobile approach allows me to offer personalized and convenient care to my clients.
