In a community that loves its four-legged family members, one local clinic is redefining how veterinary care is delivered. The Mobile Pawlyclinic brings expert, compassionate care straight to your doorstep—no car rides, no crowded waiting rooms. Their practice operates as a veterinary clinic on wheels offering primary care, urgent care and end of life services —all in the comfort of your own home.
The Mobile Pawlyclinic was co-founded by Dr. Rahim and her husband, Steve Leong, who refers to the venture as more than just a business. “It’s really a passion project for us,” Steve explains. “We saw a gap in veterinary care, especially for people and pets who struggle with access. So we decided to meet them where they are.”
The motivation behind a mobile clinic was inspired by Dr. Rahim’s experience in both primary care and emergency veterinary settings, where she frequently observed that certain populations—such as senior citizens and individuals with disabilities—faced significant barriers to accessing veterinary care and were often unintentionally underserved. For elderly or unwell pet parents, anxious pets, and busy families, having veterinary care come right to their doorstep brings comfort, ease, and reassurance when it’s needed most.
Accessibility and convenience aren’t the only focus. Education is at the heart of every appointment. “When we perform an exam, our goal is to make it a collaborative experience,” says Steve. “We take the time to explain what we’re seeing, walk pet parents through the available treatment options, and customize our recommendations to fit both their lifestyle and their pet’s unique needs. By sharing the why behind the what, we empower pet parents to make confident decisions—whether it’s about immediate care or long-term wellness,” says Steve.
The mobile veterinary setting offers an invaluable lens into a pet’s daily life. By stepping into the home, we’re able to identify and recommend small but impactful changes that can significantly improve quality of life: adding a step or ramp to help an arthritic cat access the litter box, relocating a toxic plant from a countertop, or observing the dynamic between pets in a multi-animal household. These real-time insights go far beyond what’s possible in an exam room, turning each visit into an opportunity for deeply personalized, preventative care rooted in the pet’s actual environment.
They’ve also found that the home setting can help reduce fear-based behaviors in pets. “A lot of animals are much calmer in their own environment,” Dr. Rahim notes. “No unfamiliar smells, no barking dogs in the lobby, no slippery floors. That allows us to build trust with the pet, which makes exams and treatments far more effective in the long run. By delivering care in the comfort of the pet’s own space, we are able to provide a more compassionate, tailored approach, particularly for those animals who are most vulnerable outside their familiar surroundings.”
Despite being on wheels, the care offered is comprehensive. “We’re a full general practice,” Steve says. “From wellness exams and vaccines to managing chronic illnesses and end-of-life care.” Their appointments average 45 minutes to an hour, giving clients one-on-one time with the vet. “You’re not rushed. You’re really getting the attention you and your pet deserve.”
Since launching just over a year ago, The Pawlyclinic has experienced consistent and meaningful growth. “We’re truly grateful for the community’s support,” Steve reflects. “In response to increasing demand, we recently added our third mobile unit and are in the process of hiring a second veterinarian.” Expanding their scope of care, they have also initiated the development of a brick-and-mortar surgical clinic designed to provide routine and urgent procedures, such as spays, neuters, dental surgeries, and foreign body removals, that require the precision and controlled environment of a traditional facility. “Surgical care demands careful post-operative monitoring, and imaging necessitates a radiation-safe space,” Steve explains. “To ease the burden on clients, we even offer transport services when needed, ensuring pets receive seamless, comprehensive care every step of the way.”
Their commitment extends well beyond clinical visits. Medications are hand-delivered, and memorial items following euthanasia are personally returned to families. “Trust is everything,” Steve emphasizes. “We’re invited into people’s homes, and we honor that privilege deeply.”
As word-of-mouth continues to fuel their growth, Steve and Dr. Rahim remain steadfast in their mission. “It’s not about the quantity of care,” Steve stresses. “It’s about the quality of care, making sure every pet and pet parent receives the thoughtful, individualized attention they deserve.”
