Baystate Mobile Veterinary Services is not your traditional veterinary practice. We are both;  a mobile house-call veterinary practice and brick and mortem stationary hospital.  For mobile visits to your companion pets we operate in a large, RV-based mobile clinic. We may not be traditional, but we offer a full range of veterinary services, with the benefit that we can also come to you!

Advantages:

  • No stressful car rides
  • No exposure to other sick or reactive pets
  • No white coat anxiety
  • Individualized attention
  • Most pets don’t even realize they are being visited by a veterinarian—they just think we are “over-interested company”
  • Comprehensive appointments- we take the time that we need to make you and your pet feel at ease

Our team is a small group made up of our veterinarian and two team members who are dedicated to high quality, practical and compassionate veterinary care for your pet. We work hard to balance the best, yet most-effective care for your pets.

Baystate Mobile Veterinary Services is committed to providing excellent care in a stress-free environment for all of our patients. We’d love to tell you more about our services and the motivation behind our revolutionary mobile and stationary practice. We invite you to contact us to learn more about our practice and to schedule a visit from our team!

If you live in CHARLTON CITY or the surrounding area and need a trusted veterinarian to care for your pets – look no further. Carolyn Selavka is a licensed MA veterinarian, treating all types of small animals.

    Debra C.

    I don't know if I said Thank You when you came to my son's home. But Thank you now. Both the Vet and her aid where very kind and understanding. Not rushing him and his family. Letting us all say good bye in our own time. Very caring and understanding. I wish my vet had been the same. Though not easy they made it a little easier . Thank you

    Rosemar D.

    The whole team is fantastic! They are wonderful and accommodate to my special needs dog and the rest of the crew. We have used them for years, they have been with us through our babies passing and the welcoming of new babies! Couldn't ask for a better Vet team!

    Amanda J.

    The staff is always kind, compassionate, and thorough. They treat my pets like family!

    Nicole N.

    The best experience I have had with a vet. My cats are terrified of going and to have full service care in my home was wonderful. The van is AMAZING. There is nothing that cant be done in this van that you would have done in a Vet hospital. In fact they do even more. The most wonderful and caring people you will meet. Will never go back to a regular office vet.
