How to Save Money at KwikVet - 24 hour veterinarians
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.
How Do You Choose the Right Pet Insurance Provider?

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
First I would like to say I never used their services and I think this is an amazing idea. Having access to a vet 24/7 is priceless in emergency times. My issue is the way customer services responds to people in these reviews. Granted I didn’t read each one of them but just the few I read I was appalled with the inhuman/heartless responses. How can you tell someone: it’s your fault you didn’t properly read the Google result? When someone is having a dying animal in his/her hand begging for help. Sorry but if I am in an emergency and I see an address I would more likely do the same. What you do is amazing. Don’t destroy your great work with these kind of responses!

Not at all what I expected. The vet was informative. I wanted to bring my dog in. I thought they were in Washington DC... she was MESSAGING ME FROM HAWAII!!! I paid 29$ to not speak over phone but text messaging in an emergency. When I googled 24 hour vets KwikVet showed in my area. I will NEVER use this service again. And when you register you must give a cc number! Seriously!! Go to your very in your area ~ NOT NOT NOT through an APP! Ugh! DO NOT GO THROUGH AN APP BASED VET!

NOT A CLINIC AT THIS ADDRESS. I paid for the teleconsultation and started a chat. After explaining our dog’s symptoms there was no response. I video called and got a hold of someone who was driving a car. The vet hadn’t looked at the symptoms. So I explained again. Then he just told us to go to a vet. Good advice. So we’re at the (actual) vet now. Which is what we would have done anyway. Kwikvet added no value and does not exist at this address. Not worth your time.

Misleading. I wanted an in person house call like advertised. But it was only a video call. The app needs to be clear they are not offering house calls at this time. Will report them to better business bureau.

I had a video call with a vet, because my dog was still licking his paws, and very kindly the vet helped me understand what was wrong with my dog! Excellent app. I didn't have to leave my house!
