Shannon Stanek, president of the 30-year-old American Association of House Calls and Mobile Veterinarians, said the profession is experiencing a revival: Membership has doubled to about 300 members over the last 10 years. She also has received more inquiries lately. She estimated about 70% of her members work out of their cars and the rest have mobile units — recreational vehicles where they perform surgeries, dental exams and X-rays. Two companies that make the mobile units are also seeing an increase in demand. Stanek, who is based in Pottstown, Pa., estimated that about 5,000 vets make house calls nationwide in both rural areas and big cities. She has visited homes for about nine years within about 20 miles of her home. Her business has grown 15 to 20% each year and she is looking to add an office to her practice in case her clients need emergency services or medications.
