In-Home Veterinary Care in Laurel, MD
Laurel sits on the boundary between Howard County and Prince George's County — a position that makes it easy to overlook in a region where most veterinary practices organize themselves firmly by county. My Vet Calls doesn't have that problem.
Dr. Jacqueline James serves Laurel on both sides of the county line. Whether your address falls in the Howard County portion or the Prince George's County side, Dr. James can come to you.
About Dr. James
Dr. Jacqueline James brings more than 30 years of veterinary experience to every home visit — across corporate practice, shelter and rescue medicine, and private practice ownership. She has pursued additional training in holistic and integrative techniques, including nutrition response testing and fear-free examination methods.
She manages her own Howard County and Prince George's County schedule personally. When you call (443) 828-2222, you reach Dr. James directly.
Why Laurel Residents Call Us
Laurel is a working commuter city — Route 1, Route 29, the BW Parkway. Coordinating a mid-week clinic trip around those corridors is real friction. Home vet care removes it entirely. Dr. James comes to your address on a schedule that works for you.
Cats who can't be transported without trauma. Senior pets who don't do well in cars. Households with multiple animals who all need to be seen. Busy people who want a real appointment — not a two-hour wait for a ten-minute slot. That's who calls us.
What Dr. James Provides on a Laurel Home Visit
Physical exams, core and lifestyle vaccinations, heartworm and parasite prevention, in-home blood work and diagnostics, nutrition consultations, sick pet evaluations, senior pet care, holistic and integrative consultations, and at-home euthanasia.
Dr. James will tell you clearly if a condition requires hospital-level equipment.
Laurel Neighborhoods Served
Dr. James serves Laurel throughout both county sides, including communities near the Route 1 corridor, South Laurel, the Russett area, Laurel Lakes, and Fort Meade Road neighborhoods. She also serves Savage and Jessup to the north, and portions of Beltsville to the south. Call to confirm your specific address.

Thank you so much for so promptly sending the heartworm medicine for Bartleby and all of the excellent care you provide for him.

Thank you for your compassionate care of Bitty during this difficult time. I am grateful for all you did for her, and especially grateful that she was at home at the end and for your kind help to me in dealing with this. I hope that you'll eventually hear from me again for a happier purpose.

I wasn't able to find the right words to thank you when you brought Rowdy's remains back to us. Thank you for your kindness and compassion during the whole procedure and before talking on the phone with Mike in deciding what to do. As difficult as it was there was some comfort and peacefulness in letting Rowdy go in our own backyard by St Francis. A place he loved so much. We appreciate you hand delivering our special guy back to us.

I wanted to let you know how blessed I feel to have had you as my vet in Cupid's final days. You were very supportive and showed both Cupid and myself compassion in making this hard decision. I really do feel it was because of you and your service that Cupid was so at ease and accepting when the time came. The only thing I wish I could change, would be having you as our veterinarian much sooner than the final few weeks.

Thank so much for helping us with Lulu. She's doing really well today. Vets are much nicer than MD's So maybe I'll switch Dr's and come to you! Thanks for recommending the specialist and being such an all around good guy.
