How to Save Money at Vet On Wheels
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 want to thank Dr Badri for his incredible service over three generations of at home and clinical vet care for my dogs. He has been there for the good times and the bad and has always been very passionate about our animals welfare. Dr Badri has been very accessible and compassionate. Thank you for all you do!!

I booked an appointment for both of my kittens to get the second shot. When I called them they gave me the price and asked me for a deposit. Done. When I got there after everything they overcharged me for lots of things that I have no ideia they could charge. I realized the overcharge when I got home 5 min later. I started to call them but they didn’t pick up the phone. Pay attention on your bill and everything.

Worst experience ever. Customer service was terrible, for a pet owner who is panicking this is NOT a place you should go to. I brought my dog in because she was momentarily unsupervised and ate some plastic. On the phone the vet suggested to bring her in person so they could induce vomiting. They gave her something to induce vomiting but because the wait was so long ( 1.5 hrs) she already digested the plastic and didn’t vomit. After waiting another hour I asked for an update and their solution was to take her home, monitor her and then bring her back if anything else happened. I wasn’t told the price of any of the services, or who would be delivering the service (vet or vet tech), wasn’t told alternative options, I had to be there for everything because they couldn’t figure out how to put a cone on a chihuahua and at the end was showed a $550 bill. I said I wasn’t told any prices beforehand and asked them not to give her some vitamins, then the bill was reduced to $300. Lastly, I was forced to sign a consent form stating that I received a certain level of service and care, when I said I didn’t want to sign certain lines the vet was visibly upset and I was pressured to sign. I will never go back here again. Sherbourne Animal hospital is much better. I hate to leave a negative review but as someone who always checks reviews I felt it was important to share my experience for others.

when I called about my cat the vet came in the evening to my home. When it was neccesary he took my cat, still in evening to his clinic and tubed my cat for feeding. The next day he performed surgery with his team to place a permanent feeding tube. This clinic and the professionals are compassionate and caring. They want to truly help your pet. The price was very reasonable as they go above and beyond. My cat was near death as he could not feed by himself. This team brought my cat not only health but a longer life. I cannot express the gratitude I feel for this team. Absolutely God sent.

Highly recommended by Isha Ali and Alisha Coroa. Dr.Badri and his team always answered my calls, never once did I get voicemail which surprised me even on a Sunday afternoon. Very flexible and responsive to our situation with our beloved cat of almost 19 years, Oreo. So kind, caring, and handled the decision to euthanize our cat with sensitivity and dignity. We can't thank him enough, and although heartbroken, we are at peace.
