How to Save Money at Veterinary Home Healthcare/Blessed Pet Shop
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.

She got too expensive for me to use. I was still charged a Dresden trip fee although I drove my dog to her pet store in Martin hoping to save that extra charge. When I asked why I was still charged if I was driving to her, I was told by the receptionist because she has to drive from her house to her store. Her supplies for her van are at her store so she goes there anyway so that explanation didn't make any sense to me.

Dr. Debbie came to our home while our dog was in his final days. She explained the process and when the time came, ensured not only was our Max taken care of but we were also. I can't thank you enough for your care and concern.

I love Dr. Debbie! She is awesome. She is so loving and compassionate towards all animals and people. She provides good care and compassion to all pets at a reasonable price. She is easy to make an appointment with and does not rush through the appointment. She spends time making the pet comfortable to ease their nervousness and thoroughly explains everything to the owner. She makes it convenient and stress free for everyone. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Debbie and her staff. I recommend Veterinary Home Healthcare to anyone with a pet!

I had the good fortune of finding Debbie. I am bedridden and unable to bring my babies to the vet. Dr. Debbie came to my house was caring, kind, and loving. She was amazing with my elderly pup and me. I was a basket case and she took her time examining Marley, talking to me, and explaining everything to me. Rates were so reasonable and the service so convenient. I will no longer go to any other vet. My babies deserve the best, and Dr. Debbie is the best!

Dr. Debbie is amazing! We have 4 different dogs that all react differently to the vet. She and her staff were wonferful with all of them. They went above and beyond with our rescue dog to make him feel comfortable and not panic. They were super gentle with our big dog who gets extremely excited and loving with our playful one. We just got a new baby and Dr. Debbie was so gentle with her. Overall a wonderful experience for us all! Plus she worked so well with my crazy schedule and last minute changes. Amazing!!!!!
