How to Save Money at Lotus Veterinary House Calls

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.

Lotus was the best decision I ever made, and I want people to know that I can’t rave enough about them. I realize cost are high, and finances can be hard on people, especially since we live in SF in general. But they are worth. Every. Penny. I had an older, small dog, with health problems, who was basically blind, because her cataracts were so bad. I couldn’t take her into a regular vet office anymore as she got older, because she would freak out that I couldn’t go back with her. She would cause herself so much anxiety that she would pass out with the staff and the doctor. Lotus, made it so much more calm… for both of us! My first visit was with Dr. Seth, and his assistant Jacqueline. They were so kind, gentle, sweet, genuine, answered all my questions, were incredibly patient, and helpful. They brought everything to our home. We sat on our living room floor and they examined her, and she was happy and calm with them. My dog, unfortunately was not well, and a few weeks later I knew… it was her time. The two ladies I talked and emailed with at the office throughout the month I used Lotus, were amazing and heartfelt. My second visit was for a home euthanasia. This time Dr. Rachael, and her assistant came to our home. Again, incredibly sweet, understanding, empathetic, patient, loving, and the kind of doctors you want around you when you have to go through this with your baby. If you can’t or don’t want to go into an office, and want someone to come to you. Call them. If you need to put your baby down, because it’s their time, and you want to do it privately in your home. Call them. Thank you so much to the staff at Lotus. Your patience and kindness, meant the world to us during this tough time. ♥️

Excellent veterinary services performed by knowledgeable, compassionate, skilled veterinarians and assistants in the low-stress environment of your home. The in-home treatments by Dr. Feigenbaum and Dr. Dasho allowed my senior dog to live comfortably. I am truly grateful for the love and care we both received from Lotus Veterinary House Calls.

I have the most amazing experience with Lotus Veterinarian House Calls in San Francisco. Your professional team helped me to book vaccinations for my 3+months kitten Tango at a time when most clinics closed their doors to a new customer. Thank you with all my heart on your responsiveness and follow up with your veterinarian and are quick to get my appointments and information. I am writing this review to share my happy and wonderful experiences. I am thankful to your Lotus family Shea, Debra, Kelly, Sophia for helping Tango to move to Hong Kong in October. I would highly recommend this outstanding veterinarian clinic with love and care to their customers. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Rachael Feigenbaum and her assistant for taking care of Tango before departing to Hong Kong in October. Lotusvet is the best veterinarian clinic I have ever experienced in San Francisco. They make things easy for both customers and their pets. I wish there is one in Hong Kong. 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tango arrived Hkg in good condition yesterday morning after 23 hours of travelling. Tango says thank you to you all🦁🥰

I WISH I COULD RATE THESE GUYS 10000 STARS. I called them randomly one day when I had a situation with my dog and can't possibly say enough about em. Dr. Rachael is SO GOOD and genuinely loves people and their pets. She's hands down my favorite vet I've ever used as well as one of my favorite people just in general. SO MUCH LOVE for Lotus. If you're able to wait a couple days and schedule an appt cause it's not an emergency, I PROMISE YOU THERES NOBODY BETTER. And I generally hate people, like all of em😂, so this review speaks volumes for their awesomeness. IF DR. RACHAEL was a non housecall vet somewhere, she would be my lifetime vet FOR SURE but regardless, ill ALWAYS call them first. SUCH GOOD PEOPLE!!!!
