Keep Your Pet Protected Without the Stress of a Traditional Clinic

If you have ever tried to load a nervous cat into a carrier or coax an anxious dog into the car for a vet visit, you know that routine care can feel anything but routine. Between busy schedules, transportation, and the cost of in-clinic visits, it is easy for preventive care like flea, tick, and heartworm protection to slip down the to-do list.

Good Neighbor Vet is here to change that. Our mobile veterinary pop-up clinics across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho make it simple to keep your pet safe from parasites that can cause serious illness. We bring licensed veterinarians, high-quality preventive medications, and wellness-focused care right into your neighborhood, all in a quick 1.5-hour clinic window designed for busy families.

Whether you are keeping up with monthly protection or getting your new puppy or kitten started on the right paw, our affordable, community-based model helps you stay ahead of fleas, ticks, and heartworm without the hassle of a traditional appointment.

Featured Service: Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention

Parasites are not just a seasonal nuisance. In the Pacific Northwest, mild weather and changing climate patterns mean fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can be a problem for much of the year. Preventive care is one of the easiest ways to protect your pet from discomfort, disease, and expensive treatments later on.

Flea Prevention: Comfort and Health for Your Pet

Fleas can cause intense itching, skin infections, and allergic reactions in both dogs and cats. In some cases, they can also transmit tapeworms and other diseases. At Good Neighbor Vet pop-up clinics, our licensed veterinarians provide:

• Veterinarian-recommended flea preventives tailored to your pet’s weight, age, and lifestyle
• Options for both dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens when appropriate
• Guidance on how and when to administer each dose for best results

During your visit, your pet receives a brief wellness check so our team can recommend the right product and dosing schedule. We focus on safe, effective medications that support long-term protection rather than quick fixes that may not last.

Tick Prevention: Protection From Serious Diseases

Ticks are increasingly common in wooded trails, grassy parks, and even backyards in the Pacific Northwest. A single tick bite can expose your pet to diseases such as Lyme disease or other tick-borne infections. Our mobile clinics offer:

• Tick control products that often combine flea and tick protection in one convenient dose
• Education on where ticks are most common and how to check your pet after outdoor adventures
• Recommendations based on your pet’s activity level, travel history, and environment

Because each clinic visit includes a nose-to-tail wellness exam by a licensed veterinarian, we can also look for any signs of skin irritation, embedded ticks, or other concerns that may need follow-up at a full-service clinic.

Heartworm Prevention: A Simple Step That Can Save Lives

Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes and can be life-threatening for dogs and, in some cases, cats. Treatment is lengthy, expensive, and hard on the body. Prevention is far safer and more affordable. At our pop-up clinics, we provide:

• Heartworm testing for dogs when needed before starting certain preventives
• Heartworm prevention medications that are easy to give at home
• Clear dosing schedules so you never miss a month

Our team can help you understand how heartworm spreads, why year-round prevention is recommended, and what signs to watch for. If your pet needs a heartworm test, our heartworm testing services are designed to be fast and convenient at select pop-up locations.

What to Expect From Your Visit

Every Good Neighbor Vet pop-up clinic visit for parasite prevention includes a focused wellness assessment. Licensed veterinarians perform a comprehensive nose-to-tail check, looking at your pet’s coat, skin, eyes, ears, mouth, and overall body condition. This helps us choose the safest and most effective products for your pet’s unique needs.

Common questions we address at the clinic include:

• “Does my indoor cat really need flea prevention?” Yes. Fleas can hitch a ride indoors on clothing, other pets, or visitors, and indoor cats are still at risk.
• “Is heartworm a problem in the Pacific Northwest?” Heartworm cases are present in our region and can be introduced by travel, rescue pets, and changing mosquito patterns. Prevention is strongly recommended.
• “Can I combine flea, tick, and heartworm prevention?” In many cases, yes. Our veterinarians will recommend a safe combination or all-in-one option when appropriate.

If we find anything that requires more advanced diagnostics or treatment, we will refer you to a trusted full-service veterinary clinic so your pet can receive the comprehensive care they need.

Why Choose Mobile Pop-Up Veterinary Care?

Good Neighbor Vet’s mobile model is built around making preventive care easier for pets and their people. Instead of navigating traffic, rearranging your day, and dealing with crowded waiting rooms, you can stop by a neighborhood location during our 1.5-hour clinic window.

For many pets, this means less stress. There is no long wait in a noisy lobby. You arrive, check in, and see a licensed veterinarian in a familiar community setting such as a local pet store or neighborhood retailer. This can be especially helpful for anxious dogs, shy cats, and senior pets who struggle with travel.

Affordability is also at the heart of what we do. Our preventive-focused services, including flea, tick, and heartworm protection, are designed to be budget-friendly while still meeting high standards of quality. By focusing on wellness and early intervention, we help you avoid many of the costs that come with untreated parasite problems.

We are proud to be a community-focused mobile vet team. Our pop-ups create regular opportunities for pet parents to ask questions, keep vaccines and parasite prevention up to date, and get guidance on when a traditional, full-service clinic visit is needed.

Get Ready for Your Visit

To make your Good Neighbor Vet pop-up clinic visit as smooth as possible, bring:

• Any previous vaccination or medical records, if available
• A list of current medications or supplements your pet takes
• Your pet’s current weight, if recently measured
• A secure leash or carrier for your pet’s safety

If you are a new client, our team will walk you through a brief intake so we can understand your pet’s history and needs. Returning clients can check in quickly and update parasite prevention on a regular schedule. If you prefer to plan ahead, you can also use our appointment request form for select services and locations, although walk-ins are always welcome during pop-up clinic hours.

For urgent or more serious concerns that fall outside the scope of a mobile wellness visit, we will guide you to appropriate care. You can review our emergency care recommendations to understand when it is best to head directly to a full-service or emergency veterinary hospital.
