How to Save on Veterinary Costs at The 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.

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.
