How to Save Money at Animal Medical Clinic P.C.
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.

Dr. Kehrt is by far the best vet I could have for both my dogs. She prioritizes their health and overall wellbeing while being personable. Unfortunately, we’ve had some heartbreaking discussions, but knowing that she and her team truly care about my boys makes the tough decisions a little bit easier.

We have only used Animal Med clinic twice, however both times were pleasant experiences. The staff was very friendly and both the assistant and doc/vet made me feel as though they were family. The most recent visit, the assistant left the room and it had only been a min before she came back apologizing the wait (doc was with an emergency that came in) and reassured me she would be back to check on us if the doc was not yet ready..(Again it hardly had been a few mins ...but her customer service was spot on). They both came in only a few moments later and again the friendly approach was as though they knew us personally. They loved on my dog and made sure to answer any questions without feeling rushed or bothered. You would think that would be the norm but today's world it seems less and less "the norm" to find care that makes you feel heard and valued. Their smiles and care made it a great experience for me but also my dog. Thank you to everyone there for making going to the vet a place that feels warm and safe.

I would strongly advise with the recent change of doctors to pick a new vet. Each as and every visit felt extremely hostile from the clerks at the front desk. Service used to be amazing with Dr. B. At this point our cat is scared to go more so than normally. The front office clerks are rude, snippy, gossipy, and blatant liars. When Dr says they will order meds, the order was never placed despite paperwork saying it will be ordered. Front clerks will argue with you and cause more stress during an already traumatic time.

Dr. Kehrt and her team have always gone above and beyond for us. They are knowledgable, compassionate, and go the extra mile to ensure our dog receives the best care possible!

Everyone has been so nice to me and Flynn my schnauzer. My Flynn doesn’t mind going to them at all.
