DO KWIKVETS MAKE REFERRALS?
-
Just like in a clinic, after our KwikVet diagnoses your pet, additional tests or treatments may be recommended.
-
While at your home, our KwikVet will explain treatment options and show you the cost upfront via the Kwikvet app.
-
The decision is always yours as to whether to accept the additional tests and supplies, including medicines.
-
KwikVet has engineered dozens of tests and supply kits precisely to address the vast majority of conditions affecting dogs and cats, so we only provide you what you need, from leading suppliers like Zoetis, at very convenient prices.
-
Referrals for follow-up specialized tests and treatments are at the discretion of the veterinary professional examining your pet.
WHAT IS KWIKVET PRICING?
-
Telehealth consultations cost $29. House call prices vary, based on our own cost to compensate veterinarians in your area. Nationwide, our average house call costs $179.
-
In all cases, you will be quoted a clear, upfront price that includes a full physical check-up done at your home. We even pay your taxes, so that clear price is all you are committing to.
-
If meds and additional services are needed, you will be informed of the cost upfront and asked whether you would like to receive them right there, in the comfort of your home.
-
You are always in control. Upon completion of your visit, you will be emailed a record of your visit, prescriptions and an itemized invoice. You can also get refills in the KwikVet app.
WHAT IS KWIKVET'S CANCELLATION POLICY?
-
If you cancel after requesting a visit you will normally be charged a cancellation fee.
