How to Save Money at BetterVet Palm Beach
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.

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.

I have had nothing but problems from the day the practice switched to BetterVet. Making the appointment online was impossible. I tried multiple times over a period of a few days until I gave up and called. I referred a friends to Dr. Steve prior to knowing about the change to BetterVet. Unfortunately, she has also had nothing but problems too. She's been charged for a medication she never received and has spent the past 4 months trying to get the money back. She has called more than 5 times and even went to the office a few weeks ago regarding the refund and still hasn't received it. Also, she made multiple attempts to get the blood results for her dog. That took several weeks before she received a response. One of my dogs was there 3 weeks go and the blood work came back immediately but some levels were out of range. I have now called BetterVet 3 times requesting information on what the numbers mean. Still nothing. I have loved having Dr. Steve and Chris caring for my 2 dogs but feel dealing with BetterVet's isn't worth the trouble. Time to find a new vet.

If I could give Dr. Steve and his staff more than five stars I would. I recommend them to all my friends and co-workers looking for veterinary care. The fact they come to you is such a wonderful service for ailing or older pets, animals that don't do well in the car, or even when you have trouble getting in to the office yourself. Dr. Steve is kind and patient and Chris is wonderful with my pets. My dogs are much happier in their own home than in an office and I don't worry about them getting sick from other animals.

When I say first impressions are a huge deal to me I'm not exaggerating.in the least! From a referral from a friend, I phoned All About Town and spoke to Nicole. From the get go you can tell she cares! She called back when she said she would, she even followed up with a text when I didn't answer my phone. And Dr. Steve is equally caring, professional but not insensitive! He takes his time, gives you options and truly cares about our furry friends as well as us. His assistants as well are amazing. He has a PHENOMENAL team! I HIGHLY recommend All About Town. It's worth the little extra to have Dr. Steve come to.your home.

I took my Chihuahua, Roxy in to have a tooth extracted that was infected. I was referred to Dr. Steve from a neighbor and I thank him tremendously. Dr. Steve and his Assistant Chris took in Roxy and were so caring and sweet with her. I had just met the two gentlemen and felt so comfortable and trusting with my pet. Claudia his secretary called me the following day to ask me if everything was okay with Roxy and if I had any issues tom please feel free to call Dr. Steve...I highly recommend the vet to anyone who would ask.
