Due to concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19), our office is able to make necessary changes in order to have your fish seen without direct human interaction. Your fish cannot carry the virus or transmit it to humans. Our veterinary staff will call you during your appointment to collect a history and submit all summaries and records electronically. Payment can be taken over the phone.

Indoor fish: please provide a separate water sample of 100ml or more and bring your fish outside. We can provide you with a net if necessary. Please take a 10-second video of your tank, including all filtration, to email to our office prior to your appointment.

Outdoor fish: please advise how to best access your pond and be sure to leave any gates open! If you routinely add any products to your pond, please leave them by the pond.

Aquatic Veterinary Services is the premiere mobile specialty aquatic veterinary service providing top quality, immeasurable value for fish and their dedicated owners. We transform pet fish owners into savvy and skilled aquatic pet parents, resulting in healthy, stress-free fish with a tremendous quality of life.

Our Patients

Rocky

Rocky is a naughty shovelnose catfish who decided to consume over a pound of his rocky substrate! He needed to undergo surgical removal in order to swim again. Read his story here.

Lemon


This fancy ranchu goldfish had a long history of an oral deformity. One day, during feeding time, she opened her jaw and it popped inward! She needed to have surgery in order to fix her jaw. Read her story here.

Huxley

Huxley is a red moor goldfish with a slow progression to losing movement of his back half. By taking x-rays, we were able to determine that he had a permanent spinal luxation. Read his story here.
