How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Caravan Vet
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. Andrea and Jenna were so kind and gentle with our beloved senior cats! Their professionalism and care gave us such comfort. Our cats hadn’t been to a vet in many years and the Caravan Vet folks were helpful in getting the cats a proper medication to relax them enough to have a proper assessment. We will definitely use their services in the future! Thank you !

Our German Shepherd Dog has been a patient at Caravan Vet for over eleven years. Dr. Christa has been her veterinarian for her entire life. Our girl has had several challenging medical conditions during her life, and I have been so impressed not only with the quality of care she has received, but also with the level of concern and compassion that Dr. Christa has shown. She is always responsive when questions come up, and has been a real partner with us as we have worked through some complicated medical issues. I feel very fortunate that we chose Caravan vet when our dog was weeks old and highly recommend them!

Dr. Christa Williams, owner of Caravan Vet, and her whole staff are extremely competent veterinary health professionals. Not only that, but they have a large, fully equipped, customized box-truck that they use to actually do house calls for customers in St. Louis Park and Minneapolis at a reasonable extra charge. This is in addition to a standard clinic you can go to if you prefer. Dr. Christa's knowledge of dogs and cats is astonishing. We've been taking our sweet little fur-boy Mozey to them for about 11 years now, and we also took our beloved feline kiddo Baby to them. I think the best and quickest way to communicate how impressive Dr. Christa's knowledge is to relay a story. Please read to the end to show why I've been astonished by Dr. Christa: Mozey one day developed this very alarming problem. He was walking with his spine turned so that his hind end was bent forward, so that from the top his body was shaped like a "J" We weren't able to get him to Caravan right away, and had to go to a different vet clinic. This second clinic does extensive work on dogs and cats, and I am sure that they are competent veterinary professionals, as well. The second clinic examined him. There were two veterinarians there, each with more than ten years of experience. They couldn't find anything wrong from the exam, so they had to sedate him in order to take an x-ray. Even after the x-ray, the second clinic couldn't determine what was wrong. Mozey's fur-mom and I were deeply concerned and worried. Dr. Christa--making a house call to us--examined Mozey, how he walked, etc. Without exaggeration, in 15 minutes Dr. Christa knew the answer: it was a minor problem: his knee cap had slipped out of joint, and the odd way he walked was compensation for that. She pushed the knee cap back in place, gave us instructions for what to do if it happened again. It was a HUGE relief! As far as her support staff, they've all been knowledgeable and wonderful, too. They have a breadth of skills and experience that is very impressive. Lastly, I want to say how caring and compassionate Dr. Christa and her veterinary technician were when we had to euthanize Baby. They came to our house so that Baby would be as comfortable as possible. It was a gift that was soothing during such a difficult experience. I highly recommend that you have Caravan Vet be the clinic you use for your pet's health care. Go to the standard clinic or have a house call for convenience and a look at their amazing mobile clinic.

the knowledge, professionalism, and quality of care is superior. Caravan Vet handles routine vaccines and complex diagnoses with compassion and expertise. Based on the care we've received I can't imagine ever seeing another vet.

We have two elderly cats who, understandably, don't want to leave the house. Having Caravan Vet come to us has been wonderful! Everyone we've interacted with from Caravan has been so gentle and caring with our sweet senior cats. I highly recommend them!
