Paws On The Move

About Paws On The Move

Paws On The Move is a mobile veterinary service based in Anchorage, Alaska, founded and led by Dr. Andi Slaughter. Dr. Slaughter earned her veterinary degree from Kansas State University and her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis, before relocating to Alaska in 2017 to serve the state's pet-owning community. She is supported by a licensed veterinary technician (Anna, LVT) with seven years of experience in the field, including work with equine patients in Idaho before settling in Alaska. Together, the team brings professional veterinary care into the home environment, prioritizing a calm and stress-free experience for both pets and their families.

The practice serves communities stretching from Anchorage north to Talkeetna, covering a wide geographic corridor where traditional clinic access can be challenging. Paws On The Move is specifically designed for dogs and cats, with a focus on personalized care and building long-term relationships with each patient and their owners. One of their most meaningful offerings is in-home euthanasia — a service that allows pets to pass peacefully in a familiar, comfortable environment surrounded by the people they love, rather than in the clinical setting of a veterinary hospital.
