We used to take our cat to a physical Veterinary office, but it was always stressful for him and caused him a great deal of anxiety. Dr. DeSantis and her assistant came in to our home and started with a calm interview to learn about our cat. The style of visit and it being in a place our cat was familiar with kept him from getting anxious at all and even after the examination he was still trying to get attention from the doctor and her assistant.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really enjoyed meeting you both and Archie at his visit. We are happy to have made this a much less stressful visit for him. Looking forward to seeing you again at his next annual exam.

Dr. De Sanctis and Assistant ( Bella ) are exceptionally professional, courteous, friendly, patent, understanding, caring, supportive, accommodating, thoughtful, attentive, comprehensive, respectful and laser-focused to the needs, health and well-being of the feline patient.
I am grateful, thankful and appreciative for their above-and-beyond services.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Samuel. It has truly been a pleasure getting to know you and Louie at his visits.

Dr. DeSanctis and her Assistant, Bella, take excellent care of my mother's dog, Teena. In addition to the obvious level of professional expertise I am most appreciative of their kindness and compassion for a "senior dog" and for my mother who is 101 years of age. It would be impossible at this stage to take my mother and Teena out to a veterinary facility so "Vet at Home" really fits the bill!

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.
Thank you for your kind words, Denise. We are very happy to assist you with the care of your two cats, and make vet visits less stressful for them.

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.
Thank you so much, Carly. It has been a pleasure getting to know you and Cheddar. We are so happy to be able to care for him, and look forward to helping him live a long and healthy life.

If your looking for a Doctor to take care of your family pet look no further ! 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

Exceptional and compassionate home vet care
Dr. De Sanctis agreed to help my pup in a situation where she normally would not because he was not mobile and we had no other options. She was professional, kind and compassionate. And it is true that her rates are very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to her services.

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.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and the kitties and I am so glad we were able to help them have a less stressful visit by examining them in the comfort of their home:^)

My wife and I are thrilled with the service from Dr. De Sanctis and her team. They were exactly what we needed for our older dog (and cats). Her email follow up was spot on and convenient. Highly recommend!
I am so happy we were able to see Melody in the comfort of her home and make vet visits much less stressful for her by not having to travel in a car. We look forward to seeing her again next year. She is absolutely adorable!
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!!
My review will not justify how amazing this vet(Dr Desanctis) is.You need to see for yourself how truly incredible they are.Dr DeSanctis is attentive,honest and kind.She is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby and her parents. The nurse also does an amazing job.We are thankful and appreciate each of you. You are stuck with this family.Two thumbs(paws) up from Ruby.
I reached out to Vet At Home because my dog was turned away from my previous vet for her anxiety and aggression issues during appointments even when medicated. I thought being at home could help her be more calm. They got her history in advance and had great communication. They showed up promptly on time, with all their supplies, and were able to give my dog all her needed tests and vaccines. All medications were called through my local pharmacy. They were knowledge, respectful, and handled my difficult dog well. You do pay an extra fee for the at-home visit but that is to be expected and I think it was well worth it. Definitely recommend.
I've done animal rescue for 30 years, and I know getting a GREAT vet is essential when you move. Not easy, but essential. I'm really pleased with Dr. De Sanctis and her nurse Cindy. They're incredibly skilled and knowledgble, extremely kind and gentle, and are providing amazing care to my elderly cats. I highly recommend Vet At Home in Pittsburgh. 💖
Performed a successful tumor removal of possibly cancerous lump but then it went downhill. I asked for a quote before agreeing to the surgery and the vet slipped in $1000 of additional charges after it was completed. Vet was not available for aftercare of the surgery causing stitches to be permanently imbedded and unnecessary irritation. Did not communicate that they did not have availability or suggest going to another vet, instead prolonged the follow up visit and only communicated once every 3 days. I have had wonderful experiences with house call vets, this practice will care for your pet at a significant cost with a delay reducing the quality of the outcome.
Vet at Home has been a blessing for the care of my 2 cats. Excellent follow up after exams.Dr, DeSanctis and her nurse were very professional and a joy to work with
