I can't express enough appreciation for Dr Phoenix. She takes the practice to another level!

She takes an incredible personal interest in your cat. She follows up more than I have ever experienced. And the fact she sees the cat in its own environment gives her the whole picture.

Going to the Vet office-- you have whole process of putting your cat in a carrier and dragging him into the Vet's office (meowing all the way). Not anymore!!
Unbelievable as it is, she was able to perform surgery on the kitchen counter. Won't go into the details, but she definitely is a Doctor you can trust!

Don't even hesitate calling ZenCat. Your beloved kitty will thank you!

Dr. Phoenix is an absolute jewel.  Once again Oreo, our 20 year old + plus old cat benefited from her competency, compassion and a huge dose of empathy. We are so very fortunate to have such a highly intelligent well-versed problem solver care for our precious kitties.

San Diego's best Vet!!!
Not only will she come to your house she actually listens and investigates the issues that your kitty is going through. She really cares and has the competency to alleviate suffering.

We are eternally grateful for the care Dr. Phoenix gives our kitties.

Super Dr. Phoenix to the rescue again.
Oreo had a UTI flare up And Dr. Phoenix rushed over to give him a shot while he was sleeping he didn't even feel the shot.

Dr Phoenix provides an amazing service that is non-traumatic in the comfort of your kitties own  home.

Thank you Dr. Phoenix due to your compassion empathy and competency we are enjoying a very happy Thanksgiving with our 20+-year-old cat Oreo.  He is alert comfortable and content thanks to you.

I love Dr. Phoenix and ZenCat!!  

When I rescued my little cat Pebbles from a marina, where she had been abandoned 2 years ago, she was too frail and skiddish to put into a carrying case.  Luckily I found out about Dr. Phoenix!  She came to our house for a full exam and she's been our trusted vet since.  

Dr. Phoenix (and all of her very caring assistants) only make house calls - so it's like having a concierge doc for our little fur baby.  I can easily reach Dr. Phoenix on her cell anytime I have a question or concern, and we ALWAYS receive loving, red carpet service.  I also love how Dr. Phoenix incorporates traditional veterinary medicine with holistic foods and practices like aromatherapy.  I can't imagine using another vet for our little one.  

Thank you Dr. Phoenix for all you do!  

You can't go wrong calling ZenCat!

Dr. Phoenix visited us in our home on Dec. 31(!), to meet the kitty who "adopted" us several months ago. We had no idea of the kitty's age or past medical history. She'd been a very frightened stray in our neighborhood for a couple of years surviving off the rodents in PB. We'd finally gotten her to trust us. We didn't want to betray her trust by dragging her to a scary vet's office.

Dr. Phoenix was awesome. We filled out the new patient form online before she came so she knew a bit about our kitty and us. She immediately got onto the floor at kitty's eye level and spoke soothingly to her. Dr. Phoenix stayed at our house for well over an hour and talked to us about immunizations, diet, nails, toys, etc., while conducting a thorough examination. She was completely nonjudgemental and very supportive. She even clipped kitty's nails which were more like talons, and the cat let her do it!

Dr. Phoenix dispensed medication that was a liquid on the back of kitty's head for her worm issues and a nasal spray vaccine (less well received, ha!) to protect her from illnesses. Dr. Phoenix is a holistic veterinarian who is cautious about over prescribing treatments and vaccines. She explains the pros and cons and considerations based on the lifestyle of your pet, and lets you decide the best course of action.

We were so grateful that we didn't have to submit our kitty to the trauma of a crate, car, and busy veterinarian practice. She has forgiven us for any indignities of her examination and treatments, and we feel secure that we can go forward as responsible cat guardians with Dr. Phoenix's future guidance.

 I was concerned that a visit to the vet would be too much for our 17-year-old, anxiety ridden cat, so the mobile option was a godsend!  I am always conscious of cost and  was amazed that the service was comparable in price, and in some respects less expensive, than a traditional vet visit.  The cost and convenience alone would call for five stars, but I need to add another five stars for Dr. Phoenix.  She is knowledgeable, professional, and she provided valuable information that allowed us to make informed decisions about our cat's diet, health regimen, and psychological foibles.  A follow up email restated all we had discussed and provided links  to various helpful sites.  My cat demands that I add another 5 stars for Dr. Phoenix's gentleness and cat-pleasing personality.  Kitty has taken a few bites out of vets during her many years of visits to vet offices, but she had nothing but purrs for Dr. Phoenix.  FIFTEEN STAR REVIEW!

 I'm a new mommy with a small baby and an old cat!  Such a huge convenience to have found a mobile vet.  I mean, it's hard enough getting my cat to the vet, but with a baby in tow, it's impossible.  

I can't recommend Dr. Phoenix enough - she's a cat expert. Dr. Phoenix came to my home to do a physical on my 12-year-old fur baby, Moxie.  I've been worried about her lately as since my son was born I haven't given her much attention and she's developed some bad behaviors.  Dr. Phoenix brought all the equipment with her and she did a full examination in my living room.  Dr. Phoenix was patient, professional and Moxie was a lot more calm than she would have been if I'd brought her to a clinic.  

During the visit Dr. Phoenix addressed all my concerns and gave me practical advice how to help Moxie adjust to the new baby.  

We have future appointments already scheduled so Moxie will get all her shots when needed.
