G Editions will publish Pet Vet House Calls: Adventures of a Veterinary Acupuncturist by Dr. Jeffrey Levy in November 2026. The book draws on decades of New York City house calls and highlights how veterinary acupuncture, practical pet care and the bond between people and pets have shaped Levy’s practice.

Why it matters: - Pet Vet House Calls adds a first-person look at urban veterinary medicine, where care extends beyond the clinic and into homes across New York City. - The book also spotlights veterinary acupuncture, a complementary approach that Levy has helped bring into mainstream companion-animal care. - The release may resonate with dog and cat owners looking for practical guidance, animal-behavior insight and stories about the human-animal bond.

What happened: - G Editions will publish Pet Vet House Calls: Adventures of a Veterinary Acupuncturist by Dr. Jeffrey Levy, DVM, CVA, in November 2026. - The book follows Levy’s decades of house calls across uptown high-rises, downtown neighborhoods, Brooklyn brownstones, Queens junkyards, penthouses and tenements. - Levy built his practice around treating companion animals in their homes throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

The details: - The book presents true stories that are described as heartwarming, humorous and inspiring. - Levy was among the first wave of veterinarians to integrate Eastern acupuncture into modern Western practice. - He combines traditional veterinary medicine with acupuncture and other complementary therapies when appropriate. - Levy was recently named the 2026 Veterinarian of the Year by the Veterinary Medical Association of New York City. - He has treated thousands of companion animals and become a resource for pet owners and veterinarians seeking options after conventional treatments fall short. - Levy describes himself as a commonsense practitioner who bridges “science and spirit” to choose the best path for each patient. - His professional training and knowledge have taken him to colleagues in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. - The book promises practical pet-care insights, fundamentals of a veterinary visit, reflections on animal behavior and an introduction to veterinary acupuncture. - Levy graduated with honors from Mississippi State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and founded Housecalls for Your Pet, a mobile veterinary practice serving the New York City metropolitan area. - Levy is USDA-accredited, certified in veterinary acupuncture, trained in rehabilitation and also practices Reiki. - Beyond clinical work, Levy has worked in advocacy, education, animal adoption initiatives and professional mentorship. - Levy lives in New York City with his wife, their daughter and two rescue cats, Yin and Yang. - Book details list a jacketed hardcover edition priced at $50, with 256 pages and ISBN 978-1-943876-87-7. - The book will be available online and wherever books are sold.

Between the lines: - The book positions house-call veterinary care as both medically serious and emotionally rich, not just a convenience service. - Levy’s mix of conventional medicine and acupuncture reflects a broader interest in integrative care for pets, especially when standard treatments have limited options. - The framing suggests the memoir is aimed at both general readers and pet owners who want a closer look at how veterinarians think through difficult cases. - Levy’s own quote underscores that the book is as much about the people around the animals as the animals themselves.

What's next: - G Editions plans to release the book in November 2026. - Readers will be able to buy the book online and through standard retail book channels. - The publisher has not announced additional launch details in the release.

The bottom line: - Pet Vet House Calls turns decades of New York City veterinary house calls into a memoir about medicine, compassion and the everyday lives of pets and their people.
