How to Save Money at Sea Paws Veterinary 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.
Reviews from Google
They were absolutely wonderful with our dog Peanut. He was refusing food & water, almost unable to walk, was lethargic, and over all was not acting like himself at all for the past two days. After calling a dozen vets in the area this morning, no one could get us in today and I was too scared to wait any longer. I called Sea Paws in desperation as I have never used a mobile vet before. They managed to rework their schedule to squeeze him in within 2 hours! While it is a little more costlier than I am used to - I still feel the costs were very fair and were not much more for such amazing service. Especially now that I already see an improvement from the medication they gave him within a couple hours. Dr. Marcum really took her time to interact with our dog and it was obvious that she and her tech genuinely CARE about the patients that they treat. This is more than just a job and it shows. I have never received this level of service at any vet appt in my life. Thank you SO MUCH for coming out as fast as you did and for helping ease my own anxiety about the situation. I read some bad reviews online that made me almost not give them a shot. I am beyond thankful I did not listen to those reviews! A++ service, care, everything! Thank you again! 🩺💉🐕

This was such a great experience and a first for us with mobile vet services! Dr. Marcum and her staff were amazing with Spanky! I enjoyed visiting while they completed the exam and updating our precious pup on his shots. 10 out of 10! Highly recommended and we will be using Sea Paws in the future!! Thank you again Cindy & Anna!!

I used them for their home euthanasia and cremation services. My special needs dog, Joey, was in need to be put to rest in a peaceful and stress free environment. He has extreme anxiety and I wanted his last moments to be relaxed in the comfort of his own bed. There are not many of these home services around and I was grateful they could make the trip that day. It was worth every penny to know my Joe Bear was at total ease in his time of need. Please, if a trip to the vet is a stressful event for your baby, consider this services. It's heartbreaking either way, but I urge you to consider this peaceful in home method.

I am so grateful to Dr Marcum and her team. My senior Golden’s health rapidly began to decline over just a couple of days. She lost the ability to walk completely. I was home alone with her with no way of getting her in to the vet. I was given Sea Paw’s contact information by our pet insurance company. Everyone from the receptionist on were so caring and professional. Dr Marcum’s schedule was full but she offered to fit us in at the end of the day. From the time Dr Marcum entered my home, we were her only focus. She took her time with us. We did not feel like a work in at all. She helped us through one of the hardest things that I’ve had to experience. She was truly a Godsend. I cannot say enough for this business.

My husband and I just moved onto a boat with our 2 senior dogs. My older lab mix was having mobility issues so I decided to call Sea Paws rather than take her in a car to a Vet clinic and I'm so glad I did! They were able to see me the same day and it was less stressful for her (and me). We were able to start a pain management plan right away and by that night she was back to her normal self. Thank you Sea Paws!
