Paisano Animal Clinic

I am Carla A. Thompson, DVM, a 1987 graduate of Colorado State University. I started a house call practice in Las Cruces in February 1988. Many pets are more comfortable at home; it may be difficult or inconvenient to transport them to a clinic, where they may encounter other anxious pets and become nervous and unruly before ever reaching an exam room. My clients choose house calls for a wide variety of reasons: work schedules, young children, physical disabilities, lack of transportation, multiple pets, or pets who are too large or too terrified to ride in the car are only a few of the reasons people request a house call.

Before you leave you should give Paisano Animal Clinic a call at (575) 541-6610 and alert them that you are inbound. Even larger clinics and hospitals prefer when you give them a heads up so they can prepare to receive you. Depending on your pet's emergency, they may have to call in off-duty vets for additional support.
