How to Save Money at At The Farm Mobile Veterinary Service

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Dr. Mykala is amazing! Very knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive. My pets love her and my cat especially who does not travel well appreciates the home visits

Dr. Yelle is the most caring and compassionate veterinarian i have known. She helped me with my dog gunner for the past year. He was in so much pain that I couldn't take him to a regular vet. We just had to put him down and it was so peaceful. We were all in tears including her with hugs all around. She is absolutely amazing and cares so much for her animals and clients. I highly recomend using her. We are so thankful we met her!

Dr.Yelle is the quickest most upfront vet i have experienced so far. She was upfront about her prices was willing to be flexible and was able to see my goat Mel the day after i called her. She answered on the first ring and gave me a wealth of information that other vets kept to themselves. Ten out of ten would reccomend

Dr. Yelle came to help us out with our cat. I liked that she was clear about her fees, was prompt, and was good with our fur baby. She explained some different choices we had with vaccines and I thought her fees were very reasonable. It's the first time I've ever had a vet come to us and I definitely think it's worth the extra fee for the convenience of staying at home!

Dr. Yelle is a very good, kind, and knowledgeable vet. She treated my foundered horse and when I needed more medicine I was able to get it right away. Her prices are very reasonable for a mobile vet. Considering all the driving she must do. It’s not like everyone lives in a small area.
