Our Mission
Providing veterinary care that meets you where you are.
At Marin Mobile Vet (MMV) we bring veterinary care to you. We provide a variety of at home services including wellness services, minor illness treatment, chronic illness management, travel certificates and end of life care. Dr. Paige Farnell has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1998 and serving Marin pet families for over 14 years. She is passionate about meeting each pet family where they are physically and emotionally. In the home environment both you and your pet can relax and we can take the time to address your personal preferences and concerns and develop an individualized care plan that suits you. In today’s veterinary environment there are many specialists to assist in the care of our pets. We will happily collaborate with specialists and advocate for you and your pet should you need to navigate specialty care.
As a mobile member of your veterinary health care team we do not have x-ray, ultrasound, dental or surgical capabilities, we do not do injectable sedation and we do not have continuous care (see our hours below). As such, each pet should also have a relationship with a brick-and-mortar hospital that can provide these services. We are happy to work with your regular clinic as an adjunct to their services. Contact us to see how we can fit in to your team.
A word about fearful pets… Many dogs and cats can be extremely stressed and resistant to medical care. Although the at-home environment is often less stressful than a clinic visit, animals that are fearful about handling can remain so even at home. We do all we can to address their fears and attempt to achieve your goals with the least stress and anxiety for you and your pet, however, some pets will require injectable sedation in order to be examined and treated and we do not do injectable sedation in the home. These pets will need an in-clinic visit at a local veterinary hospital in order to be safely handled.
Should URGENT or EMERGENT care be needed and your regular clinic is not available, we recommend contacting Pet Emergency and Specialty Center of Marin (PESCM) – 415-456-7372.
