What to Expect from Our Farm Call Services
Choosing Omnivet for farm visits means working with a veterinary team that understands the unique challenges of managing animals on-site.

We work with you to coordinate scheduling around your farm’s rhythm, and we provide clear communication and documentation after each visit so you always know where your animals stand health-wise.

For farms with small ruminants such as goats and sheep, we also offer specialized small ruminant medicine services tailored to the specific health needs of these species. If you’re unsure whether your situation requires an on-farm visit or a haul-in appointment, our team is happy to help you decide — just call Omnivet at (231) 244-4860 and we’ll find the best option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Farm Call Services
What types of animals do you treat during farm calls?
Our farm call services cover a variety of livestock and farm animals, including cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. We also offer specialized care for small ruminants through our small ruminant medicine program. If you have questions about whether we can accommodate a specific species or condition, don’t hesitate to call Omnivet at (231) 244-4860 before scheduling — we’re happy to discuss your needs.
How quickly can you respond to a farm call request?
Response times vary depending on location, current scheduling, and the urgency of the situation. For non-emergency farm calls in the Traverse City, MI area, we typically aim to schedule visits within 24 to 48 hours. For urgent or emergency situations involving your livestock, please call Omnivet directly at (231) 244-4860 so we can assess the situation and prioritize accordingly.
Are farm call visits more expensive than haul-in appointments?
Farm calls may include an additional travel fee on top of standard service costs, but we are committed to keeping our pricing transparent and fair. We’ll always be upfront about any fees before confirming your visit so there are no surprises. For some clients, the convenience of an on-site visit — particularly for large animals or large herds — outweighs the added cost of travel. Our goal is to make expert veterinary care as accessible as possible regardless of which option you choose.
Do you offer haul-in appointments as an alternative to farm calls?
Yes — we offer both farm calls and haul-in appointments, and we’re happy to work with whichever option is most practical for you and your animals. Some clients find it more convenient to bring their animals directly to Omnivet, while others prefer the efficiency of an on-site visit for larger herds or animals that are difficult to transport. Just let us know your preference when you schedule, and we’ll make it work.
What should I prepare before a farm call?
To make the most of your farm call visit, it helps to have a clean, accessible area available for examination and any procedures that may be needed. Having your animals’ health records, vaccination history, and a list of any current concerns or symptoms ready will also help our team provide the most accurate and efficient care. If you have questions about specific preparations for your farm’s situation, our team at Omnivet can walk you through exactly what to have ready when you schedule your appointment.
Can you provide emergency care during farm calls?
Yes — our team arrives equipped to handle a range of emergency situations on-site. In cases that exceed what can be safely managed in the field, we will guide you clearly on the safest next steps for your animal, which may include transport to our facility for more advanced care. If you are facing a livestock emergency right now, please call Omnivet immediately at (231) 244-4860 so we can advise you while en route.
Do you provide farm calls for small ruminants like goats and sheep?
Yes — goats, sheep, and other small ruminants are among the animals we care for during farm visits. In addition to general farm call services, Omnivet offers a dedicated small ruminant medicine program to address the specific health, reproductive, and nutritional needs of these species. Whether you have a small backyard herd or a larger operation, our team has the knowledge and experience to support your animals’ wellbeing.
