How to Save Money at Eitan Houri DVM housecall 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.

I have been using Eitan Houri DVM for my dogs for over 10 years. He has prolonged the life of many of my pets. When he doesn't know the answer, he makes sure to do research to get the answer. Coming to my home has always been a plus. Being there for them, and me is the most important trait in a veterinary, and Dr. Houri has it.

I first met Dr. Eitan when my old dog was nearing the end of her life. He treated her with great care and when it was time to let her go, he cane to our home and euthanized her with gentleness and compassion. That was two years ago and since then we became the caretakers of 13 cats that were born under our house. Dr Eitan has treated every one for basic care as well as one very serious injury that required ingenuity to repair a badly damaged paw. We highly recommend him🙂

My experience with Dr. Houri has been 5 star. My dog presented with some odd symptoms and it was difficult to nail down a diagnosis as she wasn’t responding great to normal treatment protocols. Dr. Houri was very attentive and methodical until he found a treatment that worked for her and was very focused on getting her feeling as good as possible and not just “good enough”. He is very responsive to phone calls, very willing to answer questions, made room in his schedule and personally called to check on my dog often. Highly recommend.

Eitan has been extremely supportive and attentive as we are figuring out the correct dosage of insulin our little dog Milo needs. I have felt as though I have my own private vet at times during this process. Eitan has also been treating our beagle Sunny for an ongoing ear infection. I highly recommend Eitan if you’re looking for a vet that cares for animals as if they were his own ❤️.

Dr Eitan came to my house to put down my family dog. First, he came within a half hour of speaking to me, ensuring my dog didn’t suffer all day. He was very compassionate and explained everything to me. During a very difficult time it was very comforting to have everything done in my home with limited stress to my dog.
