How to Save Money at Pets at Peace

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.

Getting 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.

Our cat deteriorated very rapidly and unexpectedly over three days so we didn't have much time to plan ahead for an in-home euthanasia vet. Dr Arnold was able to see us on very short notice and came literally at the right moment when our cat was ready to cross Rainbow Bridge. He is very experienced, he has a background in Emergency Vet Medicine, and he is able to exert calm and a sense of organization in what could otherwise be a very painful and chaotic hour. He anticipated the more uncomfortable moments of the process and took steps to minimize undue stress for both pet parents and the pet, giving space and letting us take our time at all the right moments. He also understood well the ritual aspect of saying goodbye to a loved ones and always checked in with us about our preferences. As a human physician myself, I can confidently rate Dr Arnolds bedside manner and professionalism A++. He made our cat comfortable very quickly and while the 24 hours leading up to her death were rough, after Dr Arnolds visit we felt relieved and secure in our decision. He did a number of extras to memorialize our fur baby, giving us some of her fur shavings in a pretty bottle and making some expert paw print castings in clay for us. He goes the extra mile. His pricing was fair and reasonable, consistent with the rates in our area, and I felt our money well spent. He also reminded us to send the euthanasia invoice to our pet insurance provider which I would've completely forgotten about. He's very thoughtful and I highly recommend him when that difficult time comes to say goodbye.

On September 8 Dr. Arnold came to our home and made a very hard and heart wrenching decision much easier. He is not only very professional but very compassionate and really understanding and gives you the time that you need to let go. I have lost pets in the past But this one was calm it was so beautiful to hold my baby boy who passed away from cancer. The reassuring words the kindness from this doctor I can’t express enough how much he made this work in a way that I never thought could be as peaceful as it was. There was no stress on my dog just treats and love it was a way that my whole family could be around a Huckleberry that absolutely was loved by all his sister was there and his other pals Roxy and Yoda. Everybody got to say goodbye wasn’t scary but it was sad. Being able to pick up his ashes everything being taken care of and he even made an extra paw print for my grandson. I can’t say enough about this Veterinarian he’s an angel Helping our dogs to crossover the rainbow bridge. Thank you again Dr. Arnold will never forget you

Words can't express how much we appreciated having Dr Arnold provide end of life services for our beloved family member. I couldn't ask for a kinder, more compassionate, more soothing vet than Dr Arnold. He reassured us through every step of the process and was incredibly sensitive and patient. He had a very calming presence and both our dogs were relaxed around him. I wish I could give him 10 stars.
