How to Save Money at BetterVet Eugene, Mobile Vet Care

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.

Best veterans service I've ever had. My cat has mad anxiety about leaving home, so getting care for him has been terrible in the past. Better Vet comes to us so kitten never even has to leave. We have had our visits in our living room, on our front porch, and can walk into their van, which they park in our driveway when needed. It has made veterinarian visits as easy as it can be. The veterinarians and help are so kind and knowledgeable, I know I'm getting quality care for my fur baby.

We love BetterVet Eugene - Dr. Rensema and staff are phenomenal! My little dog, Indy is old and very stand-offish and he does not like to be worked on. From their first initial visit, they were patient, kind and worked for Indy. They did a follow up visit today and it was amazing the change I could see with Indy. They make your animal feel safe, secure and comfortable before doing anything - I also like that they take their time and you are not just a number. We will be staying with BetterVet Eugene and I highly recommend!!

Dr. Bryan Rensema and his assistant Diane were absolutely AWESOME! They took care of my little (not so little) "Cat From Hell " so well. I haven't been able to get her to a Vet, then one day I saw them at a neighbors place and they said they would be able to care for her when no other mobile vet would. I so appreciate them. Will stick with them! Thank you Dr. Rensema and assistant Diane! UPDATE: Dr. Rensema, no scary Bella today! She slept under my bed all night. Then this morning she crawled onto my lap! UPDATE 08/09/2023: Had Dr. Gwen Graham and her assistant here today for Bella. She was scratching and licking like crazy. Had them update her shots and check her out all over and had them shave her hair again and they found FLEAS! Poor Bella. They were so good with Bella. She actually will let me pet her body, not just her head. Having BetterVet come to my home is so much less stressful on her. God Bless BetterVet and all your staff. Yeah, maybe it might cost a little more, but my Bella is worth it. You docs are worth it. THANK YOU!

I have been a customer of Better Vet (previously known as Eugene Mobile Vet) for close to 10 years and I love them all! The team is caring, honest and open. They take a collaborative approach on care for your furry animals. I never feel pressured or demeaned by the techs by the choices we make. And when things got tough with sick animals, they referred me to appropriate facilities to assist. They offer end of life care too. Back in 2021, it was very nice to say goodbye to my 16 yo furry best friend at home with the family around instead of an emergency Vet room. Plus the fact that they come to my house is a huge plus! For one house call fee they will see all seven of my animals, including the bearded dragon! Yes, they have a tech that specializes in those "exotic" animals. I am just so thankful for their services and care they have for our furry family members.

We needed an exam and updated rabies vaccine for our dog and we hadn’t realized our dog’s vaccine had expired. It was an amazing experience, so easy, and quick. Dr. Amber was great and the vet tech was also wonderful. They had treats and Lilo really was very happy to be treated out on our front porch! I highly recommend this service.
