How to Save Money at Homestead Veterinary Service
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 have had excellent service and results with Dr Perry treating and caring for our horses. He always takes the time needed and explains and educates you what he is doing and why so the owner has a full understanding of what the animal is being treated for.

Took an abandoned dog in for a complete exam and eye infection. She listened to the heart, gave it it's shots and prescribed medication for the eyes. The dog was not weighed, no blood work to check for worms or anything else. Not sure why I was charged 180.00 for just that. Will definitely be going to a different vet that will check everything to make sure the dog is healthy. The dog isn't a mutt she is registered, but even if it was a mutt it should have been checked for everything.

After Dr. Perry did my horse Kings teeth(my older horse) in all the years I've owned him and had his teeth floated I've never seen him loose this LITTLE of grain! All these years it was his teeth! Thank you again SO much for taking care of my horses! You guys are awesome!! On another side note of Dr. Perry. He caught tumors on my geldings sheath I never would have noticed or known about. I am so thankful to have a vet that shows compassion even with his busy schedule he takes the time he needs with my animals to make sure they are taken good care of.

I have called dozens of times. Not a call back. Good luck on texts too. Never replies and if he does, it’s one reply. If you’re too busy or don’t want the job, don’t make people beg. These animals are at our mercy and our vets. If nobody cares, then why have the license?

Dr. Perry and Dr. Beattie are excellent! We first used them when our horse was collicking. Dr. Perry came quickly and thoroughly explained what he was doing so we understood. I also took a horse to get her teeth floated and a tumor tied off. They were again very thorough and professional. They worked with me to find a treatment option for a couple other tumors that were within my budget restrictions. They were very considerate of my horse and treated her with respect. I can't recommend this practice enough! I switched to them after a careless experience at Homestead Animal Medical Clinic. Please don't get the two confused. Homestead Veterinary Service is professional, cares, and an amazing place for your large animals.
