Care Center
Our thoughtfully designed, semi-open Veterinary Care Center offers advanced diagnostics, dentistry, and surgical care — still with the same comfort-first, relationship-driven approach you love from our in-home visits. A calm, welcoming space that feels nothing like a traditional clinic.

Our Care Center Offers:
-
All services available in-home
-
PLUS dentistry & routine surgery

A calm, home-like space built for low-stress visits
Warm, modern, and intentionally low-stress — veterinary care reimagined.
Why Pet Owners Love The Welcome Waggin’
Because vet care should feel personal. Gentle. Home-like. We believe pets heal best when they feel safe and when people feel supported. Our care is grounded in compassion, communication, and connection.

What Makes Us Different
Family-Owned, Purpose-Driven
Independent, not corporate. Relationship-centered, not transactional.
Care That Comes to You (and now, you can come to us)
In-home visits or boutique Care Center appointments — care built around your pet’s comfort, not our convenience.
Gentle Medicine, Big Hearts
We slow down. We listen. We honor each pet’s pace. Calm, kind handling over speed — always.
Familiar Faces, Real Relationships
You’ll know your team — and we’ll know your pet’s quirks, comforts, and favorite treats.
Flexible & Convenient
Choose in-home or in-center care — whichever feels right for your pet and your family.
Trust & Transparency
Clear explanations, honest discussions, no guilt. Just guidance and support.
Communication You Can Count On
Questions welcomed. Plans explained. You're never left wondering.
Celebrating the Human–Animal Bond
Because every tail wag, head nudge, and purr matters — deeply.

Welcome to the Family
A female-led, family-owned veterinary practice built on heart, purpose, and the deep belief that vet care should feel like home.
-
At The Welcome Waggin’, everything we do begins with connection.
We were founded by Dr. Jeni Waeltz, a veterinarian who believed that the best care happens where pets feel safest — and where families feel seen, supported, and truly part of the process. -
From our earliest days as a one-doctor house call service to the boutique Care Center we’ve lovingly built, our mission has remained constant:
-
To celebrate life and the human–animal bond through exceptional veterinary care in the place pets love most — your home and ours.
A Purpose Rooted in People, Pets & Love
-
We believe that great veterinary care starts long before we walk into a home or enter an exam room.
-
It begins with our team — with creating a workplace that fosters acceptance, love, vulnerability, and growth, so every one of us can show up fully for the families who trust us.
-
When our people feel supported, valued, and inspired, that energy extends to every pet we touch.
We are proud to be a female-led, family-owned practice, built on mentorship, collaboration, and compassion — not competition.
We lift each other up so we can lift up our patients.
Care That Includes You — Always
-
In both your home and our Care Center, we lead with transparency, education, and partnership.
We believe clients should be active members of their pet’s healthcare team, not bystanders. -
We welcome you to be present, engaged, and informed — because:
-
We never leave an owner behind.
Low-stress handling, gentle medicine, and open communication guide every visit.
We slow down. We listen. We honor your pet’s pace.
We see them in the context of your family, your routines, your love — not just as a medical case. -
From your very first appointment, you’ll feel the difference.
As Dr. Waeltz wrote in her welcome letter, your pet is “not just another patient case of the day,” but a cherished individual deserving friendly, low-stress, personalized care. -

The Heart Behind Our Work
-
We don’t just provide veterinary care —
we’re changing how it feels. -
We are raising the standard of what veterinary medicine can be: warm, conscious, family-centered, deeply connected. One employee, one client, one patient at a time.
-
We’re here for the whole journey — from wiggly beginnings to silver-muzzle goodbyes — honoring joy, supporting healing, and offering grace when it’s time to let go.
-
We welcome all. We create space for every pet, every family, every story. We are The Welcome Waggin’.
Our team is the heart of our practice — a group of dedicated veterinary professionals who support one another, care deeply for the families we serve, and are redefining what veterinary medicine can feel like.
Warm. Connected. Personal. Home-like.
That's who we are.
Happy Tails & Smiling Owners
We go above and beyond during every visit.

“I appreciate the attention and care my Zephyr kitty gets from you in the comfort of her own home. Thank you for your expertise, educating and providing me options for her care along with being empathetic and compassionate to her needs."
Kara
“I love them! I have been using them for years. The vets and vet techs are so friendly and patient. They are respectful of my home and really listen. They understand the quirks of my dogs and are very accommodating. The best part is that my dogs do not get stressed out by the car ride or a strange environment. I love that all the care is done right in front of me.”
Anna
