How to Save on Veterinary Costs at At Home Pet Doctor

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

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Dr. G got us in for an emergency visit when we had never been to him before. Shar-peis have really unique medical issues, and Dr. G researched and tested my sweet girl until we got to the bottom of the problem. Thank you!

Dr. Gastellum is the best. He takes all the time your animal needs. He does everything himself and doesn't miss a detail. Convenient location in BV as well. He is easy to reach. We are so lucky to have him!

My Duchess (14-year old yellow lab) had been partially immobile and not doing well and then had a stroke late Friday night and lost her remaining mobility. I am new to the area and my vet was unavailable. I was desperate to get her seen and unfortunately put to rest. I was extremely distraught and emotional as you can imagine. When I saw there was a vet that would come to my home and help in an emergency and when Richard got me in early the next morning I cannot even express how appreciative I was...its hard enough to lose your best pet pal, but to have to see them suffer is horrible. Thanks to Richard she did not have to suffer inhumanely and he laid her to rest in a the peace of her home and in a way that was so gentle and loving. I am now moving my 8-week old black lab to see him indefinitely. He is fantastic and I give him the best rating possible because he really cares and goes above and beyond!

Dr. Gastellum is Awesome. I moved here about 2 years ago, and at first I was nervous about finding a new Vet Clinic for my pups. Dr G. is very knowledgeable, thorough, and I trust him with all my furry kids. After having Dr. G treat my dogs for the past 2 years, I have absolutely no hesitation recommending him if you are looking for a Veterinarian.

Hands down, the best vet in the valley. I met him when he came to put my cat to sleep. He is amazingly kind and knowledgeable. When the other vet wasn't able to diagnose my other cat, I called Dr. G. He took x-rays and knew it was cancer. He prescribed steroids, which won't cure her but have dramatically improved her quality of life. FYI - When Dr. G comes to the end of the rainbow, he's being buried with the ashes of his pets. Kind of says it all. I wholeheartedly recommend this vet.
