How to Save Money at City Paws
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 just had to put our Lab of 13 yrs down. Dr Molly and Katie were wonderful. They were so caring And compassionate and showed it in their interactions with our baby. Thank you all for doing what you do. God bless.

We are so thankful we found City Paws! Dr. Molly and Katie are amazing with our very anxious kitty (and our other not so anxious kitty!) The at home visits take a ton of stress off of us and they have helped us manage our cats anxiety in ways other vets have not. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Dr. Molly and all the staff at City Paws are fantastic. We started using in-home vet service when we rescued our cat Henry who is shy, easily stressed, and absolutely freaks out if he sees a carrier. After lots of research I decided to hire City Paws and have no regrets! We've enjoyed the vet care so much that we moved our dog from his vet to in-home with Dr. Molly. I didn't even realize how convenient in-home veterinary care is and the cost of care is very comparable to brick and mortar vet care. If you Choose to go with City Paws Home Health, you will not be disappointed

Dr. Molly is nice and friendly, but I will say she dismissed my mom’s concerns about our dog on numerous occasions. She came to our house and performed a wellness check on my mom’s dog. My mom pointed out a lump, it was dismissed as a fat cyst. My mom pointed out skin tags, dismissed. I’m just saying she dismissed all of our concerns and gave it an easy answer. My mom’s dog has since passed away due to lymphoma and we constantly wonder if we could have detected it sooner and maybe had more time with her.

I called to ask about services and they are not friendly and not helpful over the phone. My cat has kidney failure and I really was looking for a less stressful way to provide at home care. They didn't offer any options and flat out, nope we don't do that. The woman seemed to lack empathy and wouldn't want to see how she treats your pets in person. They also acted like coming out side of 270 is traveling to far. I live just north of 270 in Westerville but apparently they don't care to service anyone out here.
