About Me


Dr. Anita Sethi is a passionate veterinarian committed to enhancing pet health through personalized, in-home care. With a DVM from the University of Arizona and a Master’s in Agricultural Science from Texas A&M – Commerce, she founded her mobile veterinary practice to make preventative and medical services more accessible and less stressful for pets and their families.Throughout her veterinary training, Dr. Sethi pursued a wide range of externships across Arizona and Texas to gain real-world clinical experience in diverse settings. She went on to complete a small animal rotating internship at BluePearl Specialty and Emergency Pet Hospital in Spring, Texas, where she worked closely with board-certified specialists in internal medicine, emergency and critical care, surgery, oncology, and more. These experiences deepened her understanding of collaborative, advanced medicine and its impact on patient care.Over the years, Dr. Sethi also gained meaningful perspective by caring for her own pets through complex medical conditions — an experience that inspired her mission to support both pets and their people through every stage of life with empathy and insight. She has special interests in geriatric care, surgery, and integrative medicine, and is currently pursuing certification in Chinese Veterinary Acupuncture to offer additional relief for chronic and acute conditions.
