How to Save Money at Premium Vet Care - Mobile Animal Hospital

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.

recently had the pleasure of availing the services of Dr. Blake Hefter from Premium Vet Care, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded my expectations. As a busy professional with limited availability during the day, their after-hours home visit was an absolute game-changer for me and my beloved feline companions. One of the standout qualities of Dr. Hefter's service was their unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care, even outside of regular working hours. Their flexibility in accommodating my schedule by offering appointments after 5pm was a tremendous relief. This level of dedication truly distinguishes Premium Vet Care from other veterinary practices. From the moment Dr. Hefter arrived at my home, it was evident that their passion for animal well-being was unparalleled. Their warm and friendly demeanor instantly put both me and my cats at ease, creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. Dr. Hefter's vast knowledge and expertise in veterinary medicine were evident as they conducted a thorough examination of my feline companions, ensuring no detail went unnoticed.

I would give Premium Vet Care a million stars if I could! When Taki got a severe ear infection, I knew there is No Way I could place him in a carrier and take him to a regular vet clinic. Being an adopted feral cat, this would have been an extremely traumatizing experience for him and for myself. As soon as I called Premium Vet Care, I knew that I was on the right hands. Dr. Blake Hefter and his Assistant had an instant empathy with Taki. When Dr. Hefter walked in, Taki didn't run away like he always does when other people enter our home, which was very surprising to me. Dr. Hefter was able to easily sedate him, confirm his diagnosis and administer his ear treatment. It hasn't even been 2 hours and Taki is already feeling so much better and enjoying his treats! As a feral cat mom of 3 boys, I know how important it is to find reliable vet care for reasonable prices when needed! Strongly recommend Premium Vet Care! What a great service! Thank you again Pet Angels!

Dr. Heftner and his staff are professional, compassionate and truly empathetic. Once again, Dr. Heftner was needed to help another one of our loved dogs to move on. His presence and skill brings some ease and comfort to what is otherwise a horrible situation. Toby, Scooter and all of us Thank you!

After returning from a mini vacation and picking up our dogs from a local boarding/daycare we noticed something not right with one one of our dogs upon getting home. We came across Premium Vet Care by chance while searching for a Vet that was open on a Sunday as my usual go to vet is not. We decided to give Premium Vet Care a try And glad we did! Dr Hefter and his assistant were professional, polite, honest and treated my dog with care. Highly recommend Dr Hefter and Premium Vet Care if you are looking for a mobile vet to come to your home!
