How to Save Money at Southern Veterinary Partners
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.

I'm a disabled veteran that started working for SVP in November. After 5 months I couldnt handle the long hours and physical demand so I put my 2 weeks notice in. I worked till the very last day making sure I left a positive impression. I received my last check today and these crooks kept my PTO hours. I called and talked to payroll and they said its company policy to not pay out PTO hours after you quit, even if you left on good terms. Let this be a warning to potential and current employees. This is a corporation that only cares about themselves. SVP needs to make this right.

Don’t expect a call after 5pm. Former employee here. Got my Dayforce hacked and I keep getting pushed to voicemail. Update. I quit and still can’t get a call back from these under educated people. Kay shah is a dental hygienist who think she owns the company and Eric Strauss has no idea what he’s talking about and approves stuff without telling his boss. If you get hired through this company think twice before you sign any paperwork. The poor staff that I used to work with still have no help overbooking the schedule and Kay and Eric have no idea what they’re supposed to do to help anyone else because they are not qualified. Good job SVP, you ruined a great hospital with your corporate management style of not caring.

Hoping to help others honestly; but I just left Cedar Animal Hospital, Richmond Hill GA I have been with them for at least 7 years and have always gotten a military discount and with three dogs it makes a difference, so I definitely noticed not only was my invoice a decent amount higher then last year, but no discount even though I was told I would be given one. I checked out after doing the annual wellness plan for our three weeks and then purchasing their Seresto collars and noticed the amount was much higher (which I get everything is) but nearly 300 dollars higher is quite a difference, when I showed my ID and asked if that was with military discount I was told “yes” that it reflected that and was discounted. I double checked my receipt when we left and called back because it didn’t reflect on my invoice and we didn’t get the usual discount and it did not reflect any discount after I had been told it would. Again, I was told it was on the invoice and it wasn’t. When I called, I was told by someone named Jessica that they never discounted the package because it was already discounted and then I explained that I have paper work for the past seven years for all three and at one time four dogs and that all have military discounts on them for every year and I was told that she was looking at my past records and that there were no discounts listed, when I actually have my invoices and the records and that show that there are. Then they changed stories and said that they changed the rule more recently. I also explained that when someone is dropping nearly 700.00 on care that it would be more Professional to let someone know of policy changes or price differences and I was treated rudely. Be aware, Funny how this discount has somehow recently disappeared after seven years of always being given to us and not that it’s a huge amount but principal of the matter is I didn’t feel cared for and I am trusting you with my fur babies, and being lied to matters. I was given several different stories and have past invoices that prove that who ever I was on the phone with had zero compassion, was very rude and just did not want to do their job. When I mentioned how I loved my vet there but was unhappy with this I was told it was over the vets head and also did not matter. I’m not sure that I will go back, I love my current vet but I feel as if the staff were irritated, rude, and not friendly on any level from the second we walked in and on top of that I feel as if now we were dismissed and taken advantage of. Hope I’m the only one that has this awful experience.

Avoid at all cost. No accountability with a nameless, faceless, profit-only center and its off-site facilities. And, only a veterinarian who prioritizes money over animals will sell their practice to a business model like this.

Working for this company and either quitting/fired sets you up for not being hired by any other clinic in the company even if you did something wrong. Avoid avoid
