Ventura Veterinary Housecalls

Our Angie, who came to our home from a rescue shelter in Long Beach 14 years ago, had reached the end of the road. We had an appointment to have our Vet to a help Angie along to final resting place. However, due to the stress it causes Angie each time we had her in our Vet’s office, we found Ventura Veterinary Housecalls. Dr. Snable and Andrea came to our house and laid to rest our Angie in one of her favorite spots in the backyard. Angie was comfortable and past quietly. There are not enough words to express our pleasure with their compassion and handling of Angie. Angie passed quietly without any stress. This alone made us feel so much better that we made that right decision. Thank you Dr. Snable and Andrea!

Dr Snable and Andrea are wonderful beyond words. They provided in home end of life care for our dear boxer yesterday. I have never seen a better vet team, so much compassion. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness.

I can’t even find the words to express how grateful I am for these guys. Their bedside manner was impeccable. Last night we put down our two dogs. Both were 15 years old and exceeded their life expectancy. In home euthanasia provided peace and comfort for our beloved dogs. I’ve never seen such a peaceful passing. Andrea and the Dr were incredible bringing a balance of compassion and professionalism. I contacted them based on their Unilocal reviews and I’m so glad that I did. Of course, I’m heartbroken but it couldn’t have been more peaceful. As they left, they said that would have a drink to our dogs that night. We eventually got out of the house for some dinner (soup because i couldn’t really stomach solid food) and toasted our beloved pals. Cheers to Sydney and Riley

Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Snable and Andrea. My three (3!) miniature schnauzers can be a handful and they are as calm as can be after being examined and getting their vaccinations. It is so hard to go anywhere with my newborn, much less tow three doggies – I am sooo glad I learned about them. Their prices are great and there is no type of overselling whatsoever. My pooches are not at all stressed or worked up, they are just relaxing; this alone is priceless.
We are done with office visits. You guys have a customer for life! Thank you.

You and your animal companions deserve the best and this is it.
The Snables took beautiful care of my kitty when it was her time to go. What could have been a traumatic experience was so gentle and sweet. They took care of everything from examination and keeping her comfy until her last breath to returning her ashes to me with the utmost care. When I think of all the stress I’ve endured taking cats to the vet, having such professional and loving care and a very reasonable price seems to make so much sense, especially with older animals.
I’m so glad to have found such a great veterinarian service and my two boy kitties are going to be much happier with house calls.

Big fan of VVH. The Snable’s take great care of your pets. Had to let go of my 16 ½ year old terrier. Dr. Zach and Andrea helped her pass calmly and were very gentile throughout. These are real vets. They assist you right away and are incredibly informative as to what the best choice is. But, they allow you to make the decision. I was upset, but with their insight, the situation became clear that my animal was suffering. Making the call to let your best friend cross rainbow bridge is not something I wish on anyone. However, well educated and experienced vets make the process less painful than it has to be. Would recommend these vets to anyone. They are life changing. The cost is not more than your average vet. And if you have difficult to manage or elderly pets, I don’t think there is a better route to take. Love them, they saved my dog for a while, but father time is undefeated and degeneration kicked in. I don’t blame them for helping and giving me extra time with my big pup. I’m beyond grateful. Very loving people and you can feel this early on. Thank you Ventura Veterinary Housecalls.

Words cannot express how thankful I am for having found such a superb, professional vet team that went above and beyond all expectations during my time of need.
I’d been searching for vet who could perform an in-​home euthanasia for my beloved family dog Lulu and selected Ventura Veterinary Housecalls due to their excellent reviews… they were absolutely correct!
Dr. Snable and Andrea were extremely compassionate and understanding. It truly made the experience as peaceful/​positive as possible, given the sad nature. I was allowed to dictate the pace of the appointment, granting me ample time to obtain closure while saying my last goodbye.
I felt as though they treated Lulu with the utmost respect and courtesy, as if she was their own pet. They even continued petting her along with me (even after she was deceased), while continuing to answer my questions about the osteosarcoma she had been enduring.
Thank you Dr. Snable and Andrea, I will never forget all that you have done for myself and Lulu!

BEST Mobile Veterinary Service ever. Dr. Snable and Andrea came at a moments notice to our home in Santa Barbara on Tuesday, to help us transition Curtis to the Rainbow’s Bridge. They were both compassionate and professional, while we processed and grieved. I cannot thank them enough. They make this world a better place.

Dr. Snable and his wife Andrea are simply two of the best people I have ever met. They are so patient and kind and were invaluable in helping us make a very difficult decision concerning our beloved pugs passing. I wish I had met them years ago as I would have used them for all our veterinary needs. I would recommend them to anyone who needs efficient and thoughtful care for their pets. The fact that they come to you is simply amazing and is reminiscent of a a bygone era where medicine was not just about the bottom line. A+

I’m so glad that we found Dr. Snable and Andrea! We have three cats, all weirdos. They’re indoor only and not super friendly to strangers. Both Zack and Andrea show great care and patience when dealing with all three of them. Our calico is impossible to scruff and bites if you freak her out, which happens when somebody is giving her an exam or trying to immunize her! This team handled her with thoughtful attention.
Dr. Zack and Andrea really take the time to discuss the treatment options with us. They always follow up after treatment and seem genuinely concerned about the health of our girls. I never feel pressured to over-​test or over-​medicate, which has happened with other vets in the past. My questions are always answered and I feel like I’m making a good, informed decision when I talk to them.
I’ve recommended them to friends, so I feel comfortable telling you Unilocalers to trust these guys with your furry family.

This is a great service! Dr. Scnabel and Andrea are a great vet team. Our 13 year old recue dog had severe heart failure symptoms. Our dog Sweet Pea had shown the fatal symptoms within two days. We called this great team and found them to be compassionate and loving towards the dogs and to their owners.
We put our dog down in a loving caring way. This is a great team to have on your side in your dogs moment of need

Our neighbor recommended Dr. Zach so when our dog needed a few things checked out we called. My wife called on Saturday afternoon and we got a return call at 7pm Saturday evening. Coordinated a 10am appointment on a Sunday (yes a Sunday at no additional charge) and that’s when we met Dr. Zach and Andrea.
The difference between going into a vet’s office and having the vet’s office come to us is night and day. Our pooch had their undivided attention for the hour they were with us. My wife and I appreciate that the doctor is conservative in his approach. Instead of rushing him in for X-​rays because of a limp (as most vets do) he said that it seemed that likely it was just a strain so we should watch it for a few more days before doing anything more invasive. That is responsible and rational medical care.
We found them to be knowledgeable, have our dog’s best interest in mind (not their bank account) and they were also nice and kind people.
On top of that, the charge was very reasonable. It would have cost us the same (or possibly more) to take him to the vet’s office where we would have received less attention and care. And likely we would have paid more since my experience is that we would have been urged to do more tests and surely they would have given us multiple prescriptions. God do vet’s offices love giving out prescriptions…
When we lived in LA we had a mobile vet and we loved it. We are very glad to have found one here in Ventura County whom we like and trust. Fast response. Excellent care for our dog. Reasonable cost.
We could not be happier.

Dr. Snable is the only Vet I trust with my pets. He genuinely cares for animals and it shows in his diligence and willingness to find answers to any issue your pet is having. My special needs cat has been a patient for 5 years and my puppy is a new patient and they are both satisfied customers.
