Frequently Asked Questions

No, RAHAN services are provided by Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs) with years of experience in animal nursing. A RAHAN CVT's role is to provide in-home veterinary nursing care to support you and your pet with your veterinarian’s at-home instructions. We work closely with your vet to ensure your pet receives the best possible care.

Animal nursing involves providing medical care and support to pets under the guidance of a veterinarian. Services may include administering medications, assisting with rehabilitation after surgery, changing bandages, or providing fluid therapy. A veterinary nurse will visit your home to perform these tasks, ensuring your pet receives compassionate, low-stress care in their own environment. Check out our service menu for additional information.

RAHAN provides a variety of in-home veterinary nursing services, including:

• Medication administration (oral, injectable, or topical)

• Subcutaneous (SQ) fluid therapy

• Bandage changes and wound care

• Post-surgical rehabilitation assistance

• Nail trims for medically sensitive pets

• Chronic disease management support

• Comfort checks and hospice care

For a more detailed list, check out our service menu, and if your pet requires a specific service, feel free to contact us to discuss your needs.

While dogs and cats make up most of our patients, we have experience with other small animals like rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs. If you have an exotic pet, feel free to reach out to discuss their specific needs.

Your pet must have an established relationship with a licensed veterinarian who provides a written care plan.

As Fear Free Certified Professionals, we prioritize reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in every interaction with your pet. Fear Free techniques are designed to create a more enjoyable and safer experience for pets, their owners, and the veterinary team.

We use tools and strategies tailored to your pet's individual needs, such as gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and a calm environment. These methods help ensure your pet feels as comfortable and relaxed as possible during in-home care. By addressing stress at its source, we aim to strengthen the bond between pets and their owners while supporting their overall well-being.

We have experience working with pets that are fearful or exhibit aggressive behavior, and use Fear Free techniques to minimize stress during care. However, in some cases, pets may require pre-visit medication prescribed by their veterinarian to help ensure their safety and mine.

If a pet's behavior is too aggressive to allow for safe handling, we may not be able to provide services and will recommend alternative options. Safety and comfort for your pet, you as the pet parent, and our providers are my top priorities.

We understand that schedules can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations without sufficient notice may incur a fee.
