How to Save Money at At Home Veterinary
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.

We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved cat, Luca. This was by far one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. Luca meant the world to us and saying goodbye to him was truly gut wrenching. Having the ability to have our last moments with our boy in his own home, where he felt safe, was very special to us. Dr. Gransky was kind, compassionate, understanding, and professional. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for their kindest and sincerity during such a horrible time.

Always such a great experience with At Home Vet! I called on Thanksgiving and had an appointment by that Monday. They are so kind, knowledgeable and efficient! Someone is always there to answer emails and assure any concerns that I may have. Since finding them 3 years ago, I’ll never go back to an in person vet! Gata says thank you!!!

We love At Home Vet! The Doctors, and assistants are so wonderful, friendly, quick to respond, and full of information. They are extremely personal and have become part of our family. We trust them with out pups and they always handle any issues, questions, and concerns we have! We've used them for years and will continue as long as we have critters. Thank you for all everyone who works here does for our 4 legged family members!

Excellent care! We love how we don't have to drag our 4 cats out of the house, in to the car for a vet visit. Everyone we have interacted with from At Home Vet has been wonderful. Nothing is rushed, our cats are always comfortable, and cooperative, enjoying extra pets, and new smells, knowing they are safe in their home. The visits are very thorough, everything is well explained, necessary blood works done, results in with follow up phone calls. Highly recommended!

I have been with At Home Veterinary for about 3 years and couldn't be happier. I've had the pleasure of working with Dr. Krieger and most recently with Dr. Gransky. My fur babies James and Taylor have had excellent care, you never seemed rushed and they answer all my questions. The office staff is very friendly and always follows up with any issue.I would most definitely recommend any of them to care for my most beloved.
