How to Save Money at House Veterinary Clinic
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.

Everyone at House Vet Clinic has been kind and helpful ever since our fur baby, Yin's, 1st visit at 7 weeks old, she's 2 now. They've treated her as we would every time she's in their care. I highly recommend them.

Wow...just wow! If Dr. Karen is not your pet's doctor, then she should be. You are missing out, if not. I love, love, love her and her staff as well. I am a picky dog mommy. I brought in my Chihuahua, who is the light of my life. Dr. Karen took the time to thoroughly examine my baby. She and her assistant took a lot of time with her.(not in the hurried manner some docs take). Dr Karen determined it was a cyst that needed to be removed very soon. I felt devastated by this news. My baby..surgery? No! I was a complete wreck the day of the scheduled surgery. I did make a few requests beforehand, one of which was: please let me stay with her until she goes under anesthesia. The other was, please let me be there while she comes out of surgery...both of which were honored. I asked Dr Karen and her assisting tech to come out to the lobby to pray for comfort and a good outcome. (a lot to ask I thought, but they honored that, too). They were sweet and understanding of such a nervous mommy. I went to the car to wait, as not to make a spectacle of myself in my worst state. I indicated I would be just outside and asked that they let me know when my bay was finished. It took only 30 minutes, which seemed to me like hours, but they texted to let me know she was through surgery. They allowed me to come back in to hold her at that point. Dr. Karen came in to personally write down all I needed to do once I arrived home and for the days that followed. (I believe she knew I might forget given my state at the time). I shall never forget the kindness and love that she and her staff showed me that hard day. My baby came through with flying colors...me, I was a complete mess but it is all in the past now. My baby is great. If you want a doctor who truly cares, loves and listens to you, spends time with you and your pet and above all is completely and totally knowledgeable..Dr. Karen should be your choice. She will always be mine.

We absolutely love Dr. Karen and the staff here. They are all so kind and the amount of time they spend getting to know your pet is so awesome. They are so helpful with any and all questions. Their prices are completely reasonable. We couldn’t ask for a better vet.

Best vet ever! Had been out family vet for many years, my dads vet, my sister, my brothers and mine. You can not find anyone else that will care for your pets like they do. They are their family as well.
