Can the vet make a home visit?
'Domicilio' = do-mee-CHEE-lyo. 'A domicilio' = at home/home visit. 'Può venire' = can come.
When your animal is too ill or large to transport, or for elderly pet owners who cannot travel.
'Venire a domicilio' (to come to the home) is the Italian expression for a house call. 'Veterinario a domicilio' is an increasingly common service in Italian cities. Mobile vets (veterinari mobili) with equipped vehicles offer home visits for routine care, palliative care, and euthanasia in a familiar environment. This service is particularly valuable for large, fearful, or terminally ill animals.
Il mio cane è troppo debole per venire in clinica.
My dog is too weak to come to the clinic.

Il veterinario viene anche per l'eutanasia a domicilio?
Does the vet also come for home euthanasia?
Home euthanasia is offered by many Italian vets — a peaceful option for terminal pets.
Home veterinary euthanasia (eutanasia domiciliare) is legal in Italy and offered by an increasing number of Italian vets. Italian pet owners increasingly prefer this humane option for terminally ill animals — it reduces stress and allows death in a familiar environment surrounded by family. Veterinary end-of-life care (cure palliative veterinarie) is a growing speciality in Italy.
