About
NYC Vet Housecalls provides mobile veterinary services, bringing comprehensive out-patient care directly to pets in their homes. The practice offers physical examinations, wellness visits, vaccinations, and preventive strategies tailored to a pet's lifestyle. In-home diagnostic capabilities include blood, urine, and fecal analysis, cytological evaluation, ECGs, blood pressure testing, and mobile ultrasound or echocardiogram services. Dr. George Korin is also a USDA-accredited veterinarian capable of issuing health certificates for travel.
For procedures requiring hospital facilities, such as X-rays or surgeries, the practice maintains established privileges at three veterinary hospitals in Manhattan and Long Island City. This allows for continuity of care where the primary veterinarian can continue to treat patients within a clinical environment. The house-call service is designed to reduce stress for anxious pets and accommodate owners with busy schedules, while also providing compassionate in-home euthanasia services.

Frequently asked questions
- What diagnostic services can be performed during a house call?
- During a house call, the practitioner can collect blood, urine, and fecal samples for analysis, perform tissue tests for cytological evaluation, conduct ECGs, and measure blood pressure. Additionally, with the assistance of a mobile technician, the practice can perform ultrasounds and echocardiograms to provide a more complete examination of the patient in the comfort of the home.
- How does the practice handle procedures that require a hospital setting?
- While most out-patient care is managed in the home, procedures requiring X-rays or anesthesia, such as surgery, are performed at one of three affiliated veterinary hospitals where Dr. Korin has established privileges. This arrangement allows the veterinarian to continue providing personal attention and continuity of care for patients within a hospital environment when necessary.
- Does the practice offer international health certificates for travel?
- Yes, Dr. Korin is a USDA-accredited veterinarian and is authorized to provide health certificates for both interstate and international travel for pets.
- What is the NYSAVE program?
- NYSAVE is a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to pet owners residing in the five boroughs of New York City who are in need of help for emergency veterinary care. Pet owners may apply directly or through a referral from a member veterinarian of the Veterinary Medical Association of New York City to receive reduced-fee care at participating hospitals.
