How to Save Money at Wholistic Paws Veterinary Services

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.

It’s hard to put into words what an incredible veterinarian Dr. Erwin is and I’m not sure any google review will do her or the team at Wholistic Paws justice for the incredible services they have provided to me and my fur babies. Specifically Duke, who was diagnosed with NCL in 2020, the neurologist estimated I had about 3-6 months left, with no available forms of treatment to prevent his condition from progressing. I was pointed in the direction of Dr. Erwin as one of the only people with experience and success in managing a condition like this. This woman does gods work and I don’t say that lightly. 3 years later Duke is still a happy smiley boy wagging his tail standing on his own feet. Jeremy and Dr. Erwin have become a part of our pack, I have never seen a dog so excited to go to a regular vet appointment, he squeals with delight when he sees them open the door to the office and runs to them. Now the neurologists are taking note of what Dr Erwin is doing to be able to use it for reference with other patients that have Dukes condition because we are in uncharted waters and that alone is remarkable. If you have a loved pet with any form of need, this is the place to take them. If they don’t have the answers they will figure them out or point you in the right direction. This team of vets has change my life, my pets lives, and has given me the priceless gift of more time with a cherished loved one. Something I’ll never be able to repay them or thank them enough for, so I’ll share it with the world so if you stumble upon this page you know this is where you need to be 💗

Wholistic Paws has been simply wonderful! My torti, Knack, first started seeing Dr. Erwin for a persistent limp. After a couple laser therapy and acupuncture sessions she was back to her normal spunky self. Even playing with her favorite stuffed pumpkin! Dr. Erwin always takes her time and makes sure that each visit is comfortable for both animal and human. Knack thoroughly enjoys each session. Either rolling around making biscuits or sitting in the content loaf position when it's time for the acupuncture needles. I just can't say enough wonderful things about this practice!! They are amazing in every sense of the word.

They are the most caring people. My boy Paulo had hip dysplasia with Kasey and Dr Krisi care and therapy it had improved tremendously. Then Paulo was discovered with bone cancer. Dr Jane , Dr Krisi , Kasey and Jeremy all helped my boy with his pain. Paulo was able to live a little longer. On July 3 Jeremy and Dr Jane came to my house to helped my boy end his pain. There home visit and kindness helped me with losing my boy. I want to thank all of them for their kindness. They loved my boy just as much as I did.

Always thinking of the animals’ best interests. Right down to something as simple as beds in every room to make your pet comfortable during a visit. Dr. Erwin is so thoughtful about every possible option available and explains in detail, without agenda or judgment.

Dr. Erwin is an amazing vet and a truly kind person. She and Jeremy and their staff have been treating my kitten, Angel, who is paralyzed in the rear legs. He loves Dr. E and Jeremy, and his little legs move a bit more every day. God bless these people!
