How to Save Money at P Street Pet Practice
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
P Street Pet Practices has friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff. I trust them with my cat's health and appreciate their affordable pricing. My cat is usually a terror at the vet, but they are so gentle that he's never had an incident with them. Their office is conveniently located and easy to access. Although I'm a relatively new client and they're in the middle of DC, they make me feel like I'm back at my small town neighborhood vet in all the best ways. A photo of my adorable cat is included for your viewing pleasure.

I love this place my friend recommended after taking my baby girl to District Vet; no comparison to P Street Pet Practice is incredible veterinarian/doctor TEFERI is amazing! They are very friendly, responsive and considerate. They respond very promptly to all requests and treated my baby girl DUA like valued patients. They even checked up on my baby after a visit to ensure she was doing well. The doctor Teferi and the whole staff are so friendly and they were very caring for my baby girl DUA. They understand that she is my little princess 👑Thank you so so much for all you do Doctor Teferi because is very obvious that you don’t do it just for money is joyful to watch you how much passion and involvement you have in my babies health. -In my last clinic visits they were pushing things that were not even necessary for my baby to get just so they can make a dollar extra typical American lol 🙈 - Thank goodness I found P Street Pet Practice. Overall a great experience and of course I 100 percent recommend.

So thankful for P Street Pet Practice! I had to bring my dog in on an emergency visit and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a full schedule. They took such good care of my dog and called me throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I was really nervous but they were very comforting and their confidence was reassuring. They went above and beyond to help my dog. Highly recommend!

We love P Street Pet Practice. They are extremely kind & thorough. We have a cat & they have made it a painless experience for all of us. They’re very conscientious about providing costs before performing work as well. They also followed up with an email checking up on our kitty afterwards. Highly recommend them. Very grateful for such a positive vet experience.
