Welcome to San Francisco Veterinary Housecalls [ SFVH ]
I hope that you and your loved ones are well. I am happy to announce the exciting news that San Francisco Veterinary Housecalls has merged with BetterVet, a family-owned, mobile vet care provider as of October 2021.
BetterVet shares my belief in bringing the highest quality care to your home and provides cutting edge equipment to me and you… in other words, a better veterinary experience for you and your pets!
I am proud to join them. After an amazing 13 years of working with you alone with my SFVetHousecalls, it’s time for me to join this larger new and amazing veterinary housecall group.
As of 2022, I’ll be available for appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays only, as my career is evolving.
For us all, this partnership means added benefits and resources, including an easy to use mobile app and website for all scheduling, so that you can book an appointment with just a few taps. Book an appointment today!
Stay Healthy and Safe,
Dr. Calvin G. Lum DVM
