With over 30 years of experience working as a small animal vet at Alma Veterinary Hospital, Tim understands that many animals, especially older cats, can find a trip to the vet very stressful. Now, they can receive clinic-quality care in the comfort of their own home, where they are most relaxed and comfortable. Tim’s extensive knowledge and compassionate approach ensure your pets get the best possible care without the added stress of travel.
Comprehensive Care
Home visits can reduce the stress and anxiety many pets associate with travel and clinic visits, allowing for more relaxed and comfortable examinations. For more complex issues and surgeries that cannot be undertaken during a home visit, Tim will collaborate with your current vet, ensuring your pet receives the comprehensive care they need. This partnership ensures that ongoing treatments or advanced procedures are handled effectively while providing continuity of care.
Flexible Scheduling
Tim the Vet is based in Windsor and covers the surrounding areas. Consultations can be organised by prior arrangement 7-days a week, including holidays where appropriate. Registering is quick and easy, and Tim will contact you prior to discuss your needs and to arrange a mutually convenient time to visit. It is necessary to obtain your pets medical history before a consultation and it is only possible to offer limited advice where Tim has not yet met your pet.

“Tim has looked after our family pets for many, many years. Our current cat hates going to the vets and our lovely calm cat turns into an unhappy, stressed, demon cat when she’s there. Having Tim come and see her at home has been a life saver… Tim is so knowledgeable and has a lovely way with our cat and with us. We feel so comfortable that she is in good hands with him. Highly recommend.”
Tim the Vet offers a stress-free alternative to traditional vet visits by providing expert care in your pet’s familiar environment. Whether it’s a routine check-up, vaccinations, or an initial assessment for a sick or injured pet, home visits allow for a calmer, more relaxed experience—especially for anxious animals.
Every pet is unique, and some may take time to feel comfortable with a visitor. Tim takes a patient and gentle approach, particularly with cats, who often prefer to observe from a safe distance before engaging. To make visits smoother, it’s helpful to anticipate your cat’s favorite hiding spots—some have been known to vanish behind washing machines or under beds just as the exam begins!
While Tim the Vet provides convenient home-based care, he is not a replacement for your regular veterinary practice. When more advanced tests or treatments are needed, he works closely with your current vet to ensure your pet gets the best possible care.
Tim has a special passion for helping older pets who may struggle with trips to the clinic. His goal is to make veterinary care easier and more accessible, ensuring senior pets stay comfortable and happy in their later years.
