How to Save Money at Arizona Veterinary Ambulance, Mobile Vet 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.
Reviews from Google
Dr. Wirth, Tarah, and Diana are highly competent, kind, professional, and offer high quality patient care. Great communication skills and easy to get ahold of someone via phone, email, or text. From the first phone call with Tarah to the procedure they did on my cat, I was very impressed. The van is spacious and spotlessly clean. House calls take away one element of stress to keep my cat at ease (no car ride). All team members are highly educated and knowledgeable. I trust them 100% with my cats. I wasn’t even nervous that my fragile cat with cancer on chemo was having sedation (usually I’m a nervous wreck). I highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful team! They have taken care of reactive/anxious pets with ease. I have a skittish dog and he absolutely loves them! Amazing customer service and support! They truly care about your pet and are extremely knowledgeable. Best experience I’ve ever had with a veterinary staff!

Dr. Wirth and her staff (Tarah & Serena) are amazing! I have used them multiple times for my fur-babies. The service they offer is not only extremely convenient, but they are compassionate individuals' who truly care for your pet. Customer service was fantastic as well. They contact you days before to confirm your appointment and day of appointment to let you know when they are on their way. I highly recommend them. Thank you Dr. Wirth, Tarah & Serena for all you do!

Worst vet experience ever. I waited until after 8 pm. Two techs came in started grabbing my cat before they sat down. They didn’t even try to get to know. Had her in a burrito roll. My cat was terrified. She has never had anyone done this to her before. She start to growl as they were trimming her nails. I told them to give her a break. The tech got mouthy with me , continued and said she’s fine, ignoring me. I wanted the vet to look at a cyst above her eye. The mouthy unprofessional tech started with, you didn’t tell us. The vet is in the van. I’ll have to go get her. Like it’s a big deal! At this point I invited them to leave my house. Most expensive nail trim ever $169. Respect the animal and owner. Take the time to talk to the animal and let the owner know what you are going to do first. My last mobile vet was wonderful. Took the time to get to know my cat. Did not run around the room grabbing her and charged me $25.
