How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Visiting 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.

I just got both of my male rabbits neutered yesterday by doctor Murphy. I was so nervous. They did a very good job and were so kind. Both my rabbits are doing very well now and are recovering Tremendously. I love how they don't rip you off Like most vets do. I am just so pleased with them and how they took care of my pets. They even sent my rabbits back home groomed. I love that. So thank you thank you thank you so much doctor Murphy. Best vet ever.

Besides the fact that Dr Laura comes to your house so you can have all your animals seen at once, she is a wonderful that, still does surgeries and make you feel welcome in her Home Office. FROM VISIT TO HER HOME IN 2020.... Instead of the Visiting Vet coming to my home, I had to travel to her house this time. My pug was suffering from seasons allergies pretty bad. Because of COVID-19, I could not accompany my dog, and was also not informed of what was being done or how much it was going to cost until all was decided without me. When the technician brought Yvi Nugget back outside to me, she informed me of all the costs acquired. It was nearly $400.!!! I do have to say that Dr Laura Murphy is personable and caring, & even came out to see me knowing that my Mother had recently passed. She had been the family vet for years. When she saw the look of overwhelmingly stress due to the high price of the visit, she took off the office visit fee in honor of my Mom, which was Very Nice, close to $100.00. This year, having the same symptoms & suffering, I knew I couldn't take Yvi Nugget back there due to the cost. I took her to Valley Cottage Animal Hospital (where we met Dr Murphy) and she got a shot instead of pills that cost Way less, and there was no charge for cutting her nails or expressing her anal glands. The whole visit cost $150.00

And came far away for a one time appt so they can assist me now that’s amazing! You won’t find service anywhere like how they are! I appreciate what they did for us
