How to Save Money at Integrative Healing Veterinary Clinic & Mobile Services
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.

I am so impressed with Dr. Theisen and the thorough care that she provides. Even with an extremely full schedule, she does all that she can to fit patients in and help as many pets as possible. She has such genuine compassion and goes above and beyond to help and heal. I’m so thankful for her knowledge and her ability to provide both eastern and western medicine. Thanks for all you do, Dr. Theisen!

My French Bulldog JUNIOR, LOVES Dr. Theisen. She has been seeing him for almost two years. It's made a huge difference! He receives both acupuncture and laser from her, which he absolutely LOVES. He's on some herbs as well. Junior was itchy.....once the humidity shows up! But he doesn't present as a typical allergy dog. May through October, that rough for us. Traditional vets wanted to load him up on Prednisone, he'd itch even worse when the cycle was finished, drag his tummy raw, but he wouldn't lose hair. She switched us up on some different food, and he's much much better. This is a more natural way of treating him and it's treating the problem, not masking a symptom. Then my boy tore his ACL horsing around, he had to have a TPLO, she's been right there, whatever I or Junior have ever needed. She is the best!!!! What vet is going to text a client just to make sure you guys are ok. We love her!!!

Dr. Theisen is amazing! She is gentle, compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable. She is a collaborative partner with you in providing excellent care for your pet. Our adopted dog, Bailey, benefitted greatly from her methodologies. I highly recommend her practice. We had to put Bailey to sleep on July 1, 2020. He was a senior dog when we adopted him, and he had many issues. Dr. Theisen was a wealth of information and she really helped Bailey with his arthritic back and his skin issues. After he died, she made a donation in his memory to the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Foundation and sent a beautiful card and text. I will definitely return to her practice when we decide upon another pet.

Outstanding care and professional, extensive knowledge with Dr. Theisen as she treated our 13 year old Labrador with his many physical challenges. He improved steadily in his overall health - especially in his back legs walking with easier mobility and surety as we worked with Dr Theisen's overall program of acupuncture, laser, chiropractic care and holistic dietary recommendations and products. She listens carefully to all concerns as she applies solutions and suggestions - and is so patient and kind with pets and owners. Dr Theisen keeps herself updated with current studies and treatments and takes time to explain everything clearly. Her prices are so reasonable - absolutely recommend her and her services to everyone with pet concerns!

I've never known a vet to truly care so much about her animal patients than Dr. Theisen. Her approach and demeanor are so calming that animals of all types and ailments respond naturally. Her knowledge and skills set are expanse, coupled with her humble suggestions make a welcomed and rare balance. If not for her continued efforts in treatment, my senior dog and stubborn mare would be lame. Both of which are selective about their humans and respond so well to her that my presence wouldn't even be necessary because they just love her and know she's always there to help!
