We’re passionate about helping your pets where they feel most comfortable.
Meet Dr. Mercado
Hi, I’m Dr. Ketty Y. Mercado and I created Healin’ and Wheelin’ because I believe veterinary care should feel as comforting and personal as it is professional.
For many pets, a trip to the clinic can be stressful—new smells, unfamiliar sounds, and long waits. By coming to your home, I’m able to care for your pet in a place where they feel safe, relaxed, and truly themselves. It also gives me the chance to slow down, listen, and build a real connection with both you and your pet.
I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oklahoma State University, and over the years I’ve developed a special love for preventative care, fear free and chronic disease management. My approach is centered on compassion, clear communication, and treating every pet as if they were my own.
Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, horseback riding, and hiking. I share my life with my cats Mew and Rooster, and dogs Sirius and Kalila, who constantly remind me why this work means so much to me.
It’s a privilege to be welcomed into your home and trusted with your pet’s care. I look forward to getting to know you both.
Meet Laura
Laura joined Healin' and Wheelin' in July 2026 and works as our LVT and receptionist. She enjoys being able to combine her veterinary knowledge and experience with her passion for providing stress-free visits, making pets and their families feel comfortable and cared for.
She has been providing exceptional care in veterinary clinics since 2010. After gaining experience in veterinary medicine, she decided to return to college and begin her journey to become licensed. While mentoring with Dr. Mercado, she graduated in 2021 with a degree in Animal Science, passed the Veterinary Technician National Examination, and earned her technician license. She has also been Fear Free Certified for many years, which reflects her commitment to providing patients with compassionate, low-stress care.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time at home with her husband and their two cats, Cereal Killer and Phantom Phreak. When she is not caring for patients or helping clients you will likely find her cuddling with the cats, or relaxing outside in the pool.
We come to you
We bring quality and compassionate care directly to your home. Our goal is to provide convenient veterinary care in your pet’s familiar environment, reducing stress for both pets and owners.
We will perform wellness exams, vaccinations, preventative care, diagnostics, and treatments while eliminating the need for car rides, waiting rooms, and other in-office stress.
We focus on personalized care and one-on-one attention for every pet we see. From yearly health care to addressing a health concern, our goal is to make veterinary care more accessible, comfortable, and convenient for you and your pet.
