Gary Blood, DVM

I have been using Dr. Blood’s veterinary services since 1998. The only time I have ever NOT called on him was when my cat broke his leg in three places and needed the Emergency Room and reconstructive orthopedic surgery…
Dr. Blood is the epitome of the absolute professional. He’s well educated and knows his science, and I like that he explains things in every day language and takes the time to make sure you understand what’s going on with your pet’s condition. He’s got a very tender touch with the animals, and my ‘fraidy cats never minded his visits. At least not afterwards, when they started to feel better! They’re both gone now, and Dr. Blood euthanized both for me. I repeat, an Absolute Professional.
Secondarily, I like that he’s very punctual. If he says I’ll be there at 11:27 and 37/100^th’s of a second– he will appear at your door at that exact moment. This is important in timing the catching and containing of said elusive feline… He always comes prepared too, if it isn’t in his bag, then he has it in the car.
I’m sure I missed a ton of things I could mention, but they are all good. I have hesitated writing a review all these years because I selfishly really didn’t want too many people to know about him so I could keep the competition for an appointment low!

I have known Gary for over 20 years and he has treated all of my animals. I cannot recommend him highly enough! His gentle nature and caring advise is beyond anyone’s expectations when it comes to veterinary care. When I needed an emergency check up for my new puppy, I called him and he was ill, too sick to come to my house but allowed me to come to his house for the appointment. When I had very sick foster kitties at my home and he came for my dog’s annual check up, he checked the kitties for free and prescribed medication that saved them. He is always cautious, never over medicates, willingly gives safe advise over the phone and is calm and sensitive whenever he treats an animal. My only hope is that he never retires!

Dr. Blood has been my vet for the last 7 years. He has taken care of 2 cats and 2 dogs for me over the years. They are always happy to see him. He handles everything that comes up with care, compassion and sensitivity. I have had some financial stresses over the last few years and he goes out of his way to keep costs down while still providing the best care for my animals. Last December we very sadly had to make the decision to let our beloved dog Jack go as he was very old, not eating and unable to really move around on his own. Dr. Blood helped us arrive at the decision, handled the day with the utmost care and sensitivity… he simply told us what would happen and how and quietly came and left us to our grief. His manner was warm, caring and respectful as it always is. I had a hard time letting go and called him a couple of times wondering if Jack would have lived longer if I had done something differently. He patiently returned my calls, understanding my state of grieving, and reassured me several times that Jack had lived a long, healthy and happy life, and had simply reached the natural end of it. Gary is more than a Vet, he is a kind and generous human being. The fact that he makes house calls is such a gift as my cats hate traveling and it is just so much more comfortable for all of the animals to have their check ups and medical procedures done where they feel comfortable. I am always amazed by how organized and professional Dr. Blood is. He is a gem and will always be my vet for as long as he chooses to keep practicing. I highly recommend him to all of my friends.

I have known Dr. Blood for four or five years now. He has consistently been extremely professional and very, very helpful. Beyond that, his manner is SO caring and comforting. I can’t think of any reason why I would ever turn to anyone else.
Than you, Dr. Blood!

LOVE Dr Gary Blood! He’s been taking care of our pets for about 5 years. He obviously loves animals and is so gentle with them. All of our dogs and cats love him. They don’t get stressed out when Gary comes to the house. Tweetie was 17, deaf and blind. Gary was taking care of her until the end of her life. We went through very peaceful passing of two of our dogs. Gary helped make the MOST difficult thing that you have to go through with your animals easier with a great amount of patience.

We LOVE Dr Blood! I am a pet person both personally and professionally, with three dogs of my own, and two kitties, and I own and operate my own dog walking and pet care business.
Dr Blood has been there for us in both the mundane, day-​to-​day health maintenance, and for crises, and of course, for his absolutely angelic nature when it came to helping my precious dogs cross over when their suffering became more than was bearable. There are some who practice the art and science of veterinary care as a job, and some who practice it as a calling. Dr Blood is clearly the latter.
I was introduced to him years ago by my dear friend who has known him and had him as her vet for over thirty years. She’s had numerous animal companions over the years — too many to count — and he has been her ONLY vet, the ONLY one she trusted.
He has made remarkable diagnoses accurately over the phone, then backed them up with the lab work, such as the case of my Pom with Addison’s Disease. His caring ways and compassionate nature, not to mention his skill, knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile keep me coming back to him year after year. Or should I say, him coming back to us, since he comes to our home, which is a blessing beyond measure since the critters don’t have to undergo any of the stresses involved in going to a clinic. They actually love him, and clearly see him as their friend. We’d be lost without him.

Professional, compassionate, punctual, returns calls, treats our dogs and cats AT OUR HOUSE!!! Worth his weight in gold. Gary Blood has been our family veterinarian for at least ten years. He delights in our animals, and gently eases them out of this life when the time comes. Thanks Gary.

Dr. Blood was recommended by our dog walker and helped us put down our 16 year old cat who had wasted away to under 3 lbs. Although horribly sad, I think it was better for her to die at home in a place she knew and loved. Thank you Dr. Blood for providing this service. I know it must be hard for you, but you are doing important work. We look forward to working with you with our healthy pets too.

Kitty hated car rides & I couldn’t possibly imagine her last miserable trip yowling in a vehicle just to be put down. I had been contemplating her death for a couple years not because I wanted her dead, but because she was the cat who seriously had used up all nine lives. 22 years is a lot of years for a cat, but she was strictly indoors & maybe a little pampered at times. I also probably tolerated a few too many accidents in her elder years. It’s amazing how attached we get to our pets.
It became obvious the feline wasn’t going to go to the great beyond on her own. We needed a Kitty Kevorkian or someone who handled end-​of-​life care at home. I asked around & received more sympathy than referrals, but the referrals I did get were mostly for Dr. Gary Blood.
I called & left a pitiful message while bawling (twice). After I was done blubbering on the first voicemail, I couldn’t recall if I’d left my phone number. Dr. Blood was clearly an expert at deciphering words through tears & returned my call (s) promptly.
He wouldn’t provide advice on if it was time to put down my furry friend, but he did let me know that he has never seen a cat past 22 years of age.
That was all I needed. We set up a date to do the deed & though I was too sad for words (it’s taken me nearly 4 months to write this review), I got through it. Dr. Blood explained everything he was doing in a soft, reassuring voice & did it with such a calm demeanor, I wanted to hug him when he had finished.
If you need a vet who makes house calls, call Dr. Blood. Don’t let his name scare you! I was so impressed, I will be using him when it is time to adopt a new pet — even if the pet enjoys going for car rides.

I heard about Dr Blood from friends. Wish I had contacted him sooner. Punctual, capable, thoughtful and gentle. The perfect vet. My beloved cat is 16. He has proposed new medications that have already helped.

I have known Dr. Gary Blood for 22 years and he is one of the best veterinarians I have ever had. Dr. Blood is a mobile vet so he comes to the house to treat the pets rather than taking the animal into a clinic.

High quality cat care at home. Since we have more than one cat, it’s actually wayyy worth it to avoid trauma for both cats and just have the Vet come to you for a house call. Gary is great! He helped keep my geriatric cat Coolie around for several months longer than expected with a good quality of life. He also did some dental work on my other cat, Coon at home!

Gary Blood is a lovely man, and a competent and caring vet. I wonder why I didn’t think of writing a review of him long ago — he’s cared for our animals for years. He helped us give our cat with lymphoma another 3 – 4 years of high quality life. And when that was no longer possible, we appreciated his sensible, compassionate realism. His in-​home service can’t be beat. Don’t hesitate to have him care for your animals.
