How to Save Money at Mobile Pet Medical Care
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.

The love of my life, Pierre passed away last week, and I emailed Dr Ormonds clinic for help. Darby immediately replied and the next day came over. I totally love and adore Darby, she is SO WONDERFUL, soothing, caring and she totally helped me, she is a healing therapist and I just can't thank her enough. A few days later after Pierre was cremated, Darby came back to deliver a beautiful wooden Urn and a gorgeous ceramic print of Pierre's Paw personalized with his name. I broke down into tears. They also included a lock of his hair. It was so thoughtful, and so sweet. I am so grateful for this wonderful service at such a hard time. Pierre slept by my side for 13 years and died laying in my arms. He is survived by his soulmate Pixie, who struggled this week after she saw him lifeless. For 4 days, she waited for him in their special spot where they had moonlit dates in bed by the window. They had 1 last date 2 nights before he passed. They were raised together all their lives. Fortunately, Pixie is not alone. Dr Ormond helped me when I rescued twin Feral Kitten boys 3 years ago. They became Pierre's best friends and brothers and they helped Pixie come out of her depression and hiding spot this week. Pixie is coming back to herself. But we all feel Pierre's absence. He played like a baby kitten even until the end of his life in his senior years, he was the most wonderful, lovable being, who taught me how to truly love. Just before he passed, he tapped me 3 times with his leg, as he laid nestled in my arms. Later I realized, and knew he was saying, "I love you" because I taught him, "I LOVE YOU" by tapping him 3 times and then hugging and kissing him, he knew I love you so well, and he would tap me back with his tail or paw. I feel as he was crossing over over and transitioning, his angelic spirit came through just before he was completely gone to say I love you... I am such as strong believer, I am certain of it. The morning after he passed, for my own peace of mind, I envisioned Pierre going into the light. I also envisioned my house filled with the golden light, and bringing in peace and everlasting love, for his spirit to always have a home here. Later on, I felt such a beautiful peace and love flow through me, and I know it was Pierre making contact that he is in a much better place.

They took advantage of My mother. She bought their plan for vet care. The same day she had them out for a dental care. That was on Friday, on Monday she had to call them. They took my mother's dachshund back to the clinic , then called her later told her she had diabetes. They told her to come by she could pick her up they would show her how to give the shots. My mother was so happy Katy was going home. She got to the clinic, but now Katy has so sick she needs to be put down. She had to pay over 300dollars and continue to pay the insurance for a dog that died less than a week. My mother was paying for a dog that died at the clinic. She paid for 11 more payments. Horrible people.

I have had all 3 of my dogs visit with both Dr. Ormond's. Dr Rob has been amazing with my shelter foster dog, he was a true angel for answering my frantic call in the middle of the night when it was my Bubba's time to go. He has amazing empathy for the animals, understands their needs inside and out and makes sure to treat them and us humans with dignity and respect. I appreciate them and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Ormond offers a great service. Our dog was sick one morning and needed to be looked by a vet. I had several important conference calls for work scheduled and had to be home near the phone... I could not leave my house to take our dog (Bo) to the vet. Having Dr. Ormond show up at our house to look at Bo saved me a lot of headaches and I was able to get my important calls in and have Bo looked at by a professional. Love his service... and Bo is now doing great :)

We have been seeing Dr. Ormond for our dog since we moved to Boise 4 years ago. It is very convenient that they come to your house with their mobile clinic. Our dog had his physical exams and immunizations yearly. We liked that Dr. Ormond answered our questions and was fast and efficient. Recently our dog has shown signs of age and that can be distressing to loving owners. Dr. Ormond and his son were able to answer questions and prescribe needed treatment to help improve his quailty of life. The cost of vet care can be overwhelming but they have a plan which helps to decrease the cost while providing what the dog needs. I appreciate that they provided that option for us.
