Home visits offer comfort and flexibility for pets and people at the times when you need it most Visits can be scheduled, usually within 48-72 hours, for non-emergency problems such as ear infections, eye concerns, skin infection/itch, limping, mild vomiting and diarrhea, lump evaluation, minor wound care, broken nails, urinary issues, among other conditions. Dr. Slattery has the ability to send o
ut blood/urine/stool samples to an outside lab for testing. Medical records from the visit can be forwarded on to you and your regular veterinarian and Dr. Slattery will help determine if follow up care is needed. Appointments are generally available Monday-Friday, and occasionally on weekends. Appointments can easily be set up via text to:
(484) 800-1428
or email: [email protected]
If your pet has a true emergency (such as labored breathing, inability to urinate, major trauma/wounds, profuse vomiting/diarrhea/lethargy, multiple seizures) I recommend to contact HOPE Veterinary Specialists in Malvern, Metropolitan Veterinary Associates in Norristown, or Ocean View Veterinary Hospital in you are down the shore. If your pet has ingested something toxic please call the ASPCA Pet Poison Control at (888) 426-4435, a $75 fee is normally applied to cover the care from the expert veterinary toxicologist you will speak with. For wellness care/vaccinations in PA, I recommend contacting Stoney Creek Veterinary Hospital or Media Veterinary Hospital.

Dr. Kelly Slattery (Pennington), VMD, owner of Home & Shore Vet, has always felt a special bond with animals and aspired to be a veterinarian almost her whole life (since 2nd grade!) Caring for the pets that people love over the years has brought her much joy and gratitude. In 2020, she decided to form her own business to offer veterinary care in the comfort of the home during the times when pets need it most. Dr. Slattery is a lifelong resident of Delaware County. She attended Marple Newtown High School, then went on to attend college at the University of Pennsylvania. She received a Master’s degree from Drexel University before attending University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine and graduating in 2010. She calls another place home as well, the town of Ocean City, New Jersey. Her parents were homeowners throughout her childhood, and her own family has a second home on the island. She began offering house calls for the pets of Ocean City in the summer of 2021. She has her own loving (and sometimes chaotic!) “zoo” at home, she and her husband have three young children, two dogs, a senior kitty, and two hermit crabs. When she is not caring for her family or pets, she enjoys reading and scheming to redecorate.
