How to Save Money at Tobias Veterinary Services

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 we had to make the very difficult decision to help our boxer cross the Rainbow Bridge. We called Tobias and from the very beginning they knew what we needed and made things so easy. Dr. Kelly and her tech showed up and right from the start put us at ease. We have been in this situation many times before, however, it was nice to have them explain the process. They gave us the time we needed and answered all of our questions. Tobias also partners with Crevasse Pet Cremation and a week later we were able to pick up his remains at Tobias. I can't thank them enough for making such a diffucult day much easier. We know that our boy was in good hands.

If you’re looking for an excellent, convenient veterinarian look no further! I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an outstanding home vet visit with Dr. Sammy and I couldn't be more delighted with the exceptional care provided to my two dogs and cat. From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly convenient and stress-free, making it a truly positive experience for both my furr children. They displayed a genuine love for animals, putting my pets at ease and establishing a warm and trusting rapport with them. Their gentle approach and soothing demeanor instantly reassured my pets, making the entire visit a breeze. My pets felt relaxed and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Dr. Sammy took the time to thoroughly examine each animal, addressing any concerns. Dr. Sammy did my pets yearly check-ups, vaccinations, blood work, urine collection, nail trims, eye and dental assessments. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sammy's home vet services to any pet owner looking for an stress-free and highly attentive veterinary experience. Their professionalism, compassion, and expertise make them a standout choice for all pet care needs. Thank you Dr. Sammy for providing such exceptional care, and taking time to also include and play with my very curious 2 year old daughter.

Very responsive and excellent communication. Professional and caring home visit to check on our senior dog so she wasn’t stressed by going into a vet office. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about Tobias Vet Services. The care they provide is outstanding and being able to have it done in your home vs having to take your loved one in a car to an office is wonderful. When it was time to say goodbye to our elderly kitty Oscar this week, the process was peaceful and he passed with dignity surrounded by the things and people he loved and who loved him dearly. All the staff is wonderful but a special thank you to Dr. Bailey, Dr. Kelly, their Vet Techs and Beth who helped provide care to Oscar and support to us when it was time for him to cross 🌈.

They were the most professional and compassionate veterinarian and technician during the worst day of my life. I lost my heart dog to bone cancer 💔 I can't thank them enough for coming to my farm.
