 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have 2 cats who are 12 and 14 years old. My 14 year old cat recently spent 3 days in hospital due to DCM and congestive heart failure. He’s on the mend and on the right path to recovery, so I was incredibly relieved when I found Dr De Sanctis and Bella with home veterinary care. They were incredibly kind and attentive both to my needs and my cat’s needs. I can’t thank them enough for their prompt response and follow up care. I love that I can create an environment with less stress for the cats, especially as they get older and their care decisions begin to change. I’m having Bella come back to administer monthly Solensia injections for my 14 year old cat. And I’m anticipating care for my 12 year old cat with inflammatory bowel disease. Both cats have vet specialists in cardiology and internal medicine, so it’s nice to have this level of coordinated care with Dr De Sanctis.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. De Sanctis and Bella are such kind, knowledgeable professionals whose genuine love for animals shines through in everything they do. They’re the only veterinary team my cat has ever felt comfortable around and they made me feel equally at ease. Everything is explained clearly, from what’s happening, to treatment and next steps, and their pricing is incredibly reasonable. Perfect for pets anxious about cars or unfamiliar environments. They also took the funniest photo ever taken of my cat, which officially makes them the best. Choosing them is one of the best decisions you can make for your pet.

Dr De Sanctis and her associate Nurse Bella are the best in this field . They are animal friendly! I speak from experience she took care of my cat at my home . My cat is 14 years old never left my apartment and only been to the vet once . Dr DeSantis treated her like she knew her since. she  was a kitten !  Gentle, kind, and caring . Another wonderful thing she did was to prescribe a medication to give my cat for her move to my new apartment to calm her down while traveling .  Theirs  not enough good words to say about her ! (She has the Gift that only a few vets have) She and nurse Bella and the rest of her staff won me over. I highly Recommend  her for your Family Pet Care .   Thank You Again Anthony Slazinski

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the most thorough exam our cats have ever received. Dr De Sanctis and Bella were so patient with our very shy cats. Our cats got to avoid the very stressful trip to the vet and had better exams at home. We will be seeking care from Vet at Home in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Vet At Home for the first time this past week and I can’t say enough good things! Dr. De Sanctis and her tech, Bella, were absolutely wonderful with my two cats. My sweet boys are 12 and 11 years old and vet trips are hard for them. One is super nervous and pees in his carrier without fail, and the other struggles with non-recognition aggression when they come home from a traditional vet visit. That has sometimes meant separating them for up to a week, which is extremely stressful for both the cats and for me. Scheduling the home visit was very easy, and the entire experience was so much calmer than a typical vet trip. I reached out on their website and received a reply within a day offering me an appointment the following week. Dr. De Sanctis took great care of my boys. She was patient and gentle, and explained everything clearly. Bella was also fantastic and helped make the visit smooth and low-stress. The biggest difference for me was that my cats didn’t need to be separated afterward due to aggression, since they could stay comfortably in their home for the appointment. We still had a couple hisses but that resolved within hours and they were best buds again by the end of the day. That alone made the experience worth it. Everyone was much happier with the outcome, and it eliminated so much anxiety for all of us. We will absolutely continue using this service and highly recommend Vet At Home to anyone looking for compassionate, low-stress veterinary care for their pets.

I recently transferred care over to Vet at Home for my two female cats and have had a GREAT experience. Dr. De Sanctis is so personable, friendly, and professional. She answers all of my questions and provides a thorough explanation that’s easy to understand. Her medical advice is also so personable to our cats. One of our cats has asthma and she really took the time to brainstorm treatment options. Overall cannot recommend Dr. De Sanctis and her team enough!!
