How to Save Money at Animal Medicine & Surgery Clinic

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.

I don’t know where to start. My dog was hit by a car a couple of weeks ago and suffered a really bad fractured leg ,and I didn’t know where to turn a lot of places are in this business for the money not for the love of the animal. When I called and spoke with the office assistant her voice and concern lead me to their office and I’m forever grateful for the surgeon and staff. They have my Klay looking brand new. I’m forever appreciative of the staff a great environment and caring team. Thank you again guys

I saw a lot of negative comments stating that this place was only after your money and the people were rude. I didn't get that from them at all. I had a last minute emergency appointment today. They were booked but squeezed me in due to my cats problem (which was really nice because they didn't have to take me). The receptionist was nice, the gentleman who comes to your car to get your pet was very nice. He was super informative and super understanding. They break everything down to you and you choose what you want to do. They are not pushy and /or forceful. They gave me my xray results and even said that I can use them to get a second opinion. Doctor visits are always going to be a bit on the pricey side especially without insurance. It comes with the territory. If you can't pay it it's okay, it can be a lot. I just don't think that should be taken out on the vet for just doing their job.

The only good thing about this animal hospital is that it is local. My mom took our dog to this animal hospital because he had boil on his neck that had been bothering him for a few days. Neither my mom or I knew dogs could get boils so we thought it was best to take him an animal hospital and see what they could do. After hearing what she had to experience at this place we are never bringing our dog here again. The vets accused my mom of abusing our dog and when she said she didn’t they asked if anyone else had done something to the dog at home. She was disgusted by this accusation because no one in our family would ever treat a dog like that. Our dog, Prince is very loved and we care for him very much, it’s the reason why we took him to the vet in the first place. We had concerns for our dog and couldn’t do much for him on our own so the next best thing was to take him to professionals (or what we thought were professionals). She proceeded to tell me that the vet treating our dog didn’t know what boils were. I was shocked to hear this because people can get boils too, it’s not like it is a new thing.

Appointments are needed. I have been coming to this vet for over 15 years with all my cats and obviously, I have been satisfied with their services. Now I can't say the same. Because of the pandemic things have changed drastically. You are not allowed inside with your pet. I understand the reasoning, but they need to do better. To the non comprehending reader that was in such a hurry to drop insults my way, it's ok if you did not understand. Not once did I say I would not abide by the rules and regulations. I do respect the rules. Just like how you guys come outside to get our pets, and I might add without a mask, one owner at a time should be allowed to enter with their pet. All I am saying is maybe come up with a better solution for us pet owners. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks this way. Again, understand what you read and comment approprietly.
