How to Save Money at Caravan Vet

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.

Getting 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 knowledge, professionalism, and quality of care is superior. Caravan Vet handles routine vaccines and complex diagnoses with compassion and expertise. Based on the care we've received I can't imagine ever seeing another vet.

I love Caravan vet! They saved my cat's life -- more than once. They truly care about animals. They are very accessible especially during difficult times. The entire team is thoughtful, thorough, and smart. I highly recommend them!

We have two elderly cats who, understandably, don't want to leave the house. Having Caravan Vet come to us has been wonderful! Everyone we've interacted with from Caravan has been so gentle and caring with our sweet senior cats. I highly recommend them!

Several years ago, we followed our vet Dr. Elizabeth from her previous practice when she joined the Caravan Vet team. We couldn't be more happy with our decision to move veterinary services. We love the entire Caravan vet team now, not just Dr. Elizabeth! Dr. Christa has earned our trust, and we know that either vet we get is going to treat our animals with expertise, experience, and compassion. More than that, Michelle and the other technicians are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Kari and the office staff are extremely responsive, and we know that they truly will get back to us as soon as possible when we need something. We are no longer in the range of home service as we moved farther south, but we happily make the trips up to the garage as we know our animals are receiving the best care in the Twin Cities, hands down.
