How to Save Money at Doorbell Vet
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 couldn't have asked for a better experience with doorbell vet. My dog Max felt so much more comfortable with them coming to my home and their compassion and caring was beyond my expectations. The doctor and technician were so sweet and gentle it put my Max at ease through everything. Their professionalism and knowledge were exceptional. My faith and belief in good veterinary Care has been restored thanks to doorbell vet and their team. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby.

This was my dog’s first appointment with Dr. Salama and her staff and they were amazing! My dog is a very complex case- but she did not leave one question left unanswered - even the difficult ones. The compassion and kindness they showed was extraordinary. I’m beyond grateful for all the care they provided. ♥️ Thank you!

Very thorough, professional and gentle with my anxious kitty. They spent a lot of time with us. It felt higher quality than an traditional clinic where the doctor is in and out and you wait on either side of it. I appreciated the advice and information they gave me about my cat’s problem. I felt like they wanted me to understand my options and why, instead of just prescribing something. Highly recommend if you are in their range - 30 minutes or less from Rochester.

Doorbell Vet is wonderful in every way! The office staff, the techs and veterinarians are the most knowledgeable and compassionate group of people caring for your pets you will find! It is a bit pricey for home visits but so convenient for an aging dog! When I had to put my boy to sleep Dr. Turner and Johann (sp) were just awesome! They helped me through one of the worst days of my life. Your pet will thank you for getting them such great care! They also have a facility to bring your pet to and surgical capabilities! I miss them.

Top tier in quality of service, friendliness, and professionalism. We called as new clients and the Doorbell Vet team accommodated us timely, and each person went above and beyond to make sure our pup had respect and love and comfort when it was her time to go. On top of this, these ladies made sure to treat us with just as much care. Having 'strangers' show up to your home just to realize they're anything but--there was an immediate sense of ease and they had such an instant bond with our Lucy. I will never forget what a difference they've all made on one of the hardest days we've had. I 10/10 recommend Doorbell Vet to anyone for any reason. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
