How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Desert Paws Mobile Veterinary Care
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

My Dad passed away in 2017 and our family dog Duke was my Dad’s best friend, so he was more than a dog to our family. Duke was 15 years old and he hasn’t been eating well for about a month. The night before last I woke up to Duke bleeding from his mouth and nose. My family and I were frantically trying to figure out what to do for Duke. My sister came over to help at 4am and her Van got stuck in the driveway with an ignition lock malfunction. We called the emergency vet after finally squeezing my car out of the driveway past my sisters 1999 eco line van with Duke wrapped in a towel, and we just started driving toward the emergency vet. We called the emergency vet and the lady on the phone was hard to understand, not really compassionate, and she said they were at only accepting emergencies. Duke stopped bleeding and we took that as a sign to turn around and call the mobile vet. We called many mobile vets without speaking to anyone directly. Desert Paws called us back really quickly. After we talked to them that first time, they answered every time after we called. Yesterday my brother, his wife, and his kids got to come say goodbye to Duke. Dr. Haley Violetta came to our house the next day at 9am for end of life treatment for Duke. Duke’s bleeding started again this morning and is was incredibly hard to watch. He still went out to pee and poop even with blood coming out of his mouth and nose. Dr. Violetta assured us that this was the right thing and the most compassionate thing for Duke. She walked us through the process and was really nice and loving to Duke. We sat with Duke and said goodbye. My sister got a paw print of Duke’s Paw and Duke got carried out in his favorite bed with a nice blanket covering him. We will pick up his ashes and put them next to my Dad’s ashes. Thank you Dr. Violetta for treating Duke so nicely and for helping us understand that this was the right decision. We are all still crying but I know that Duke isn’t suffering anymore, and that he got to stay near us when he passed away.

This Mobile Vet is phenomenal, contacted them prior to office hours, they called back as soon as they opened and immediately sent a vet over within an hour. The Vet was very caring and compassionate with our little fur girl, everything went smoothly and we were able to hold her as she passed away at home cuddled in her favorite pink blanket. This place deserves more than five stars, highly recommend for any pet needs.

They were so compassionate and very responsive from the initial phone call to coming to the house. Our kitty passed peacefully and I am very grateful to Dr. Hartell and Desert Paws. I give them my highest recommendation.

Dr Martin and her staff make you and your pets feel like you are all family. Their level of caring is what made us stay with Dr Martin when she started her in home services. She has known our 2 black labs since we got them at 8 weeks old, helped us when we needed to say goodbye to our boy in Nov 2020, and has stayed in touch with us since we moved to NC in 2021. She has consulted with our new vet here in Winston Salem about our girls Valley Fever testing and medication. Her team is truly caring even with us being so far away from them, they help in any way possible. Thank you Dr Martin, we miss you all and hope to see you again :-) Wanda, Frank and Lucy Oese

Dr. Rodden was my vet. She came out to help me transition Truman as he was quite sick. I can't even express my gratitude to her and Desert Paws. She went out of her way to be the one to help with Truman at the end and that he didn't pass with someone he didn't know. That meant so much too me as Tru really liked her. I would recommend as I have, any of the vets at Desert Paws! Dr. Rodden thank you for your kindness and understanding!! I am now seeing Dr. Johnson for my new pet Bella she is the white fluffy one. I can't tell you how much it means to feel that your baby is getting the best care by a really competent Dr. and staff! She is truly a very kind caring Dr.! They are all wonderful and will take the best care of your babies!
