These mobile clinics usually offer low-cost spay and neuter surgery and wellness care. For example, the ASPCA provides this service in NYC, LA, and Asheville, NC. Mr. Martinez can call his local shelters to see whether they also offer such services.

This is a partnership between Open Door Veterinary Collective and Uber for Business.

He should be advised that he can search for financially friendly veterinary practices near his address by using the free, online Pet Help Finder tool that Open Door Veterinary Collective created exactly for this purpose!

Since Mr. Martinez is a new, and inexperienced pet owner, he has lots of questions and concerns about the care that Dudley needs. A clinic that offers initial consultations, for a fee, over the phone with a veterinary technician would be a convenient way to address his concerns about the risk of anesthesia and also to create a trusting relationship with the clinic before he schedules an appointment. The clinic can certainly charge for the technician's time. Since Mr. Martinez doesn't drive, teleadvice would also save him a trip.

Kittens need a lot of care, but it doesn't have to be done all in one visit.


The veterinary care team should explain what to expect over the next few weeks and months in terms of the number of visits, vaccines, and dewormings that Dudley needs as well as which procedures are urgent and which ones can be delayed if time is needed to save up funds.


The team can prepare Mr. Martinez for the total cost of care by offering pay-over-time options, pet savings accounts, and discounted wellness plans that will make it more likely that Mr. Martinez and Dudley will be able to accept the treatment plan offered.


This is also the perfect time to suggest that Mr. Martinez purchase a pet insurance policy for Dudley, which could be an employee benefit that is offered by the school system.
