Care That Comes to You
At The Welcome Waggin’, veterinary care is designed around comfort, discretion, and clinical excellence — delivered in the privacy of your home.
To ensure a calm, unhurried experience and reliable arrival windows, our medical teams serve families throughout the greater Plainfield and Southwest Chicagoland region using a thoughtfully structured travel zone system.
House call travel fees reflect distance from our primary service area and allow us to maintain the highest standards of medical attention, scheduling precision, and team sustainability.

Why do you charge a housecall fee? Our housecall fee covers our travel time, fuel, and the cost of bringing a fully equipped mobile veterinary team directly to your home. It's what makes truly personalized, in-home care possible.
