We provide primary care services, acupuncture and herbal medicine integrating western and eastern medicine resulting in the best care and quality of life for your pets. Our Story:

Hamilton Veterinary Services LLC (HVS) was born in 2020 out of the need to care for my patients during the COVID 19 outbreak. When COVID forced my workplace to close to the public I was suddenly without a place to care

for my beloved patients. A house call veterinary practice has been my dream for some time. This combined with my determination to continue to help my patients and clients was the impetus behind HVS. I have found it a privilege to provide healthcare to my patients in their home setting during such challenging times. My experience has shown how positively it affects animals when they feel at ease in their own environment. It has also been special developing deeper relationships with my clients; house call practice has brought me closer into the fold of my patient’s and client’s lives. Additionally, client’s benefit being present for their pet’s medical care. The safety challenges of COVID 19 have necessitated that clients wait in a parking lot or on the street while their pet receives medical care at brick-and-mortar veterinary practices. The positive results of providing a lower stress, more personal and informative environment for patients and clients has made life a bit easier for everyone. ~ Dr. Hamilton

Meg Hamilton, VMD

Dr. Hamilton has always loved animals. She grew up with a house full of animals including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice and crawfish, not necessarily all at once. She had her own neighborhood pet-sitting service and volunteered for various animal shelters over the years. Dr. Hamilton was born and raised in a suburb of Philadelphia. She attended a Quaker high school, graduated from the Honors Program at Randolph-Macon College, and after a stint working at the US Department of Justice as a paralegal, Dr. Hamilton attended and graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 2007. Not finished with her pursuit of learning, she pursued training in small animal acupuncture and herbal medicine at the Chi Institute of Chinese Medicine in 2016. Dr. Hamilton loves being able to help her patients with both Eastern and Western Medicine and uses this integrative approach to medicine to help her patients thrive. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, baking, reading, anything beach or water related and spending time with friends and family. Dr. Hamilton's current furry crew includes a sweet and eternally happy 3-legged Pitbull named Nugs and a loyal, loving, darling and delightful tabby cat named Ms. Please visit our website for information about Covid-19 Policies/Precautions.

Before, During and After! Proof is in the pics (and the science). Veterinary Acupuncture works! This is only Koda’s first session and look how much more comfortable she is! Makes my heart soar!

06/23/2023

Oh the variety bonanza of animals! Our patients range from super chill and feeling zen to super focused because OMG! TREATS! This is the best day ever! And we love being there for all of it!

Trilliby, named after the sweet Trill he makes when saying “Hello” and various other statements. A former barn/farm cat who hit the proverbial jackpot in his new home. He’s still getting used to things, including how a Vet visit works. But we are nothing if not flexible at HVS!

Telemedicine for animals…how can that possibly work?! Pretty easily when your patient is Birba!

Meet Corey! He is a shining star in this world. Despite cancer and kidney disease, this amazing gentleman finds the joy in each day. And he spreads joy to all around him. To spend time with Corey is a privilege. He is an example for all of us. Enjoy each day, spread love all around, and find the time to play.

Welcome Purrgood Marshall to the HVS family! This funny, sweet, adventurous purr machine was fostered by an awesome HVS client and we were able to help match him with another awesome HVS client for his furever home. He is thriving and we adore him!

01/22/2023

We have amazing clients! Welcome our new CAR CATS to the HVS Team! A lovely client made these for us!

We named them of course, just like we named our mobile centrifuge “Debbie” who is our “baby on board” in the backseat.

We can get punchy riding around all day. Wonder if James Herriot had car cats?

A bit belated Happy New Year! HVS enjoyed a 2 day work retreat on a farm animal sanctuary at the end of December. We actually did some work, though these pictures say otherwise.

2022 was a year full of wonderful patients and clients who made our days meaningful and special in both happy and sometimes sad ways. That’s the reality of this profession and we are here for it and here for you.

We are so fortunate to work with the best animals and their people and we appreciate you all. We look forward to seeing everyone in 2023.

Happy Holidays from our furry family to yours! We’d love to see your pics! Send them to info@HamiltonVeterinaryServices....

Happy Halloween to our HVS family! Send us pics of your costumed pals and we’ll feature them in a follow up post!
Here we have Linux in her gorgeousness! Her brother Prancer donated his Halloween bowtie to Mommies who always wears one well. And of course we can’t forget Elliot, the always friendly and never cowardly, lion!

Meet Mame! 2nd generation HVS patient and immediate besties with Dr. Hamilton. Both are big huggers!

Veterinary Nurses are indispensable and we are so grateful for Katie! She is loved by our patients, clients and Dr. Hamilton. We are so fortunate to have Katie on our team.

“If I fits, I sits!” London’s blood pressure notably decreases when sitting in his Dr’s lap receiving chin scritches. And he’s happy to climb onto the scale when Temptation treats are waiting for him.

10/11/2022

Housecall Veterinary Services means that both our human clients and our animal patients don’t need to take time off work for appointments. “Max” can even stay in his office chair for his exam and diagnostics.

Post-Acupuncture p*e break, then he lets himself back inside and watch what he does next!

Kittens; they make the world better! Maybe messier, maybe sometimes chaotic, but definitely more entertaining! Meet Rosie and Mickie. We love them!

09/22/2022

I’ve been amazed how my patients adjust to mask wearing…the eyeball kiss is the new thing. Whatever topography is left uncovered is free game for kisses

09/03/2022

Problem solving is key. No hotspot service inside the client’s home? no problem! Katie even found an outdoor plug to print prescription labels.

We had to say goodbye to The Boss. She was our sunshine and filled our hearts daily. Many of you heard stories of her reign and our devotion to her. We miss her so much. If only all our amazing friends could stay with us longer. #Mommies

Meet Mavis! We were strangers when she jumped in the car today but we are friends now! Yup, she’s not our patient. Just a dog we met on the street today. She hopped right in and took Katie’s seat. Ready to log onto the laptop and answer the work phone. She’s hired! #housecallisneverboring #hamilton_veterinary_services #housecallvet #pitbullsrock

Happy Gotcha Day! Cekebration

Adoption has its perks. Twice yearly celebrations that make the tail wag and the belly full! Happy Gotcha Day Nuggy! #gotchaday #tripodlove #nomnomnom

It’s the boss’s birthday today! She is at least 17! At HVS we celebrate such milestones and reward them with treats! #hamilton_veterinary_services #mommies #dontswatthedog #bosscatbirthday #cliniccat

When colleagues get along there is harmony in the workplace. Here you see “the boss” nurturing her team member. Skepticism (on the part of both the canine and the human witness) is fair based on previous work place behavior. But the lesson is, let’s soak it up when it comes our way. #nontoxicworkplace #clinicCat #clinicDog #siblingsandcolleagues #MommiesandNugs #HVS
