The school supplies are stocked, backpacks are packed, and the carpool is back in full swing—fall is officially here. But while you’re adjusting to new routines, don’t forget about your pet’s health. The back-to-school season with pets can bring subtle changes in behavior and routine that make fall the ideal time for a wellness check. The Vet Gal and Guys make it easier than ever by bringing veterinary care directly to your door. As a trusted mobile vet in Southlake, TX, we know that busy families need convenient, compassionate care, and we’re here to help your pets stay healthy through the hustle and bustle of the season.

Why Fall Is the Perfect Time for a Vet Visit

Like your child’s annual checkup before school starts, your pet deserves regular wellness exams to stay on track. A fall vet visit is the perfect opportunity to:

  • Catch up on vaccines and parasite prevention: Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes don’t disappear when the leaves fall. Staying up to date protects both your pet and your household.
  • Monitor weight and behavior changes: Seasonal shifts can affect energy levels and appetite. Your vet can assess any subtle issues you may not notice day to day.
  • Address back-to-school blues: When the kids head out for the day, pets may feel confused or anxious. Your vet can offer tips for managing separation anxiety or boredom.
  • Get ahead of cold-weather care: Fall is the time to start prepping for winter needs like joint support, coat health, and indoor activity strategies.

A wellness visit this time of year helps your pet enter the colder months feeling their best—and lets you check one more thing off your to-do list.

Why Busy Families Love Mobile Vet Care

Managing busy family pet care isn’t always easy when your calendar is packed. Between work commitments and after-school events, squeezing in a vet visit can feel impossible. That’s where mobile care comes in.

The Vet Gal and Guys specialize in Southlake house calls that bring full-service wellness visits to your home. Here’s why families love it:

  • Zero commute or waiting room stress
  • Personalized, one-on-one time with your vet
  • Less anxiety for pets, especially those who hate the car or vet clinic
  • Flexible appointment times to work around your schedule

Instead of dragging your pet (and your kids) to a clinic, let us come to you. It’s veterinary care that respects your time and your pet’s comfort.

What To Expect From a Fall Wellness Visit

At The Vet Gal and Guys, a fall wellness exam includes all the essentials plus customized care based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health needs. During your house call, your vet may perform:

  • A full physical exam
  • Vaccinations and booster shots
  • Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
  • Nutritional guidance and weight monitoring
  • Behavior or lifestyle discussions (especially helpful during seasonal transitions)

We also provide diagnostic screenings when needed, such as bloodwork or fecal testing. 

Keeping up with preventive care now means fewer surprises (and emergencies) later. Fall is a natural checkpoint in the year—take advantage of it.
