The Compassionate Animal Care team in Queen Creek, AZ, formally Schelle Veterinary Services, understands how important our patients are to their human parents. You want a veterinarian who will treat your pet like they're part of the family…because they really are. You want only the very best for your animals, and so do we. Rest assured that we feel the same way about your pets as you do.
Every family, every pet, is different; each with their own anxieties, issues or pressures. That's why we offer two ways to access our services. Either you can come to our place, or we will come to yours!
Having our own clinic allows our team to offer more timely services to our patients; including certain veterinary services that simply can't be performed in the home environment.
It can be difficult for some clients to make it to us with their pets. That's why we continue to offer the best possible mobile veterinary care to patients in the comfort of their own home.
Dr. Lora Schelle is excited to expand our services to include a new veterinary office in Queen Creek; in addition to Dr. Schelle's mobile vet service, she and her team now offers a full suite of wellness, surgical and outpatient services for your pets at our own QC clinic.
This addition means that we now have access to our own surgical suite and diagnostic equipment; for our patients that means quicker access for critical pet surgeries, dental extractions, and certain outpatient procedures, as well as in-house blood work and diagnostics.
Dr. Schelle has been a mobile vet for several years, serving patients in their own homes in Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, San Tan Valley and beyond. Dr. Schelle continues to provide mobile veterinary services, but now with her own team providing clinic-based support. In-home vet care is perfect if your pet doesn't travel well, gets anxious about clinic visits, or because you just don't have time to get to us!
We also offer in-home pet euthanasia services to help make you and your fur-baby as comfortable as possible when that difficult day comes.
Dr Schelle and her staff and simply incredible. It is obvious that she does what she does because she is passionate about caring for animals. We love her so much!”

This is my first time using a mobile Veterinarian. Dr. Schelle is friendly, caring, and very gentle with my pets! Her assistant is also gentle in restraining my babies. I will definitely call them again when I need them. They were on time, had everything needed for the treatment of my pets.”

“I’ve been taking my fur babies to Dr. Schelle for 7 years. One of my dogs is very fear aggressive and Dr. Schelle is the only vet that really understands her, works with her properly, and does absolutely amazing with her! She’s the only vet I truly trust with my dogs…and my dogs trust her. You can tell she really cares about the well-being of the animals. I absolutely recommend her and her team to everyone.”

“Dr. Schelle is great. Having 4 cats and a dog can make vet visits a nightmare. Her coming out and doing a house visit makes everything so easy. Her technician is wonderful too. All the animals are calm and seem to enjoy their interaction with Dr. Schelle.”

Due to the increased COVID numbers in Arizona, to keep our staff and customers safe, we have reverted to primarily CURBSIDE visits. This applies to all medication pick-ups, and the majority of veterinary appointments – with only a few exceptions at our discretion – such as euthanasia, or a new client with a pet with an illness. We will continue to disinfect and sanitize between each appointment, and frequently cleaning door handles, floors, chairs, etc. throughout the day.
When you arrive for an appointment, we ask that you call 480.774.6995 upon arrival. You will be asked to wait outside and a technician will come outside to get your pet, take any relevant information, and give you any updates. We will have you pay over the phone.
For those few exceptions that are allowed inside, please only one family member per visit, and we require that you wear a mask for the entire visit. We will not be providing masks, so please bring your own. If you do not have a mask, we will ask that you stay in your car. Please note that the proper way to wear a mask for it to be beneficial to all, is to use it to cover both your mouth AND your nose.
We are also doing drop-off appointments, but only for existing clients. New clients need to be present (in your car in our parking lot) for your pet’s first visit.
If you are coming in for medication refills, please stay in your car and call us when you arrive. We will come out to you. We can do payments over the phone if that helps.
We are still performing surgeries, please call for details. We appreciate your patience and ask that you continue to be patient with us as we do the very best we can in these difficult circumstances. We hope to keep everyone healthy and safe. Please call 480.774.6995 for details, or if you have any questions.
Let’s hope 2021 is a much better year for everyone!

We are wearing PPE (masks, gloves) to all visits and ask our clients to also wear a mask. If any symptoms are present, we are only seeing pets if absolutely necessary, staying minimum of 6 feet away, and preferably staying outside or in a garage, etc.
We appreciate your patience in these strange times; we will continue to provide the best care possible for your pet while maintaining the safety of our staff and clients during this pandemic.
As always, if you have any questions, contact us online or call Compassionate Animal Care at 480.774.6995
