How to Save Money at The Visiting 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.

Dr B is wonderful! The first time she came to see our baby, Lucy, was a blessing. She took care of Lucy's skin issue, caught her up on vaccinations, and loved on her. Then she asked if could pray with us. While we were caught off guard, we were very touched by her request and said yes. My husband is bed bound and the prayer for all three of us was great. Lucy loves Dr. B ..... until the nail clippers come out. Even then, she tolerates it because Dr. B talks soothingly to her the whole time. Love you Dr. B!

There are no words and not nearly enough stars to accurately describe the wonder that is Dr. Bea!! I swear she is one of those angels that walks around in human form. On one of the worst days of our lives.. she came in and plopped down on our bed like she had known us our whole lives.. prayed over and loved on us and our Baby Dog Buggy as we helped her cross over the rainbow.. ( she was 17 but will always be our baby).. and made me laugh through the tears.. no easy feat... she and Whitney then snatched up our Beagle mix Gabby ( no easy feat either ) who was in desperate need of a pawdicure and took care of her while she was here.. I wouldn't have trusted another soul I don’t think, to take care of our Buggy's remains and get her back to us. Dr. Bea handled all of us with such grace, kindness, and dignity. When she returned with Buggy's remains.. knowing we were lost without another dog she made sure Gabby was up to date on her shots so we would be ready. Dr. Bea is part of our family now.. and you couldn't have a better veterinarian look after your fur children if you conjured one up than Dr. Bea. Candice and I love you and thank you for your kindness and compassion to our family..

Dr. Bea Moody is absolutely the best vet, ever! She treats our dogs in the comforts of our home! So wonderful to have a Vet that is such a joy to know and loves our pets as her own. In the past 10 years, we have had to have 2 of our dogs put to sleep. She came to the house for that, too. So much less traumatic than taking them in to the office. We love her!!

Dr. B is such an amazing and loving person. Not only does she love, care about, and get to know your fur babies, but she gets to know YOU. She always remembers all of us by name. Always checks in. She’s so sweet and special to my family. She always leads Prayer with us for the many times we unfortunately had to let our babies go live with the Lord in Heaven. She always works with us and we recommend her to EVERYONE. That fact that she comes to your home is such a relief since a lot of our babies get anxious in car rides. Looking forward to seeing her soon for MY new baby’s first checkup ❤️🥰

I have had Great Danes as my fur babies for 16 years now and discovered early on that a Visiting Vet is a must. Dr. Bea is THE BEST!!!!! She has been there for me through 2 sad departures and made the experience as comforting as possible. She was willing to pray for my fur babies and for me and I always request one of her heartfelt hugs. She is tolerant of my raw feeding methods even though it keeps the babies so healthy that we rarely require her services. I have no children except these angels with fur and I completely trust them in her care.
