How to Save Money at Overton Vet Hospital PC
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 should have posted this before now, but we had our puppy boarded here, from August 2– August 11. Our puppy received much TLC from the staff. Some sweet soul on the staff sent me regular pictures of our pup, because she knew how much I didn’t want to leave him. Upon pick up he was his usual happy, charming little self, no visible problems, no wt loss, looked great. They took very good care of our boy. I highly recommend the boarding offered here.

I absolutely love the atmosphere of the vet. The doctor and technician are very nice and my baby was fond of them. She doesn't take too well to strangers.

Everyone was great and Dr Beth was very caring. I felt very much at ease after talking to Dr. Beth and to Brook. My 2 babies have surgery in the morning. Update my babies had their operations on Oct.12 and it went great. My gray baby Loki had one of hier eyes removed.I was so scared for her but it went great and she is one happy baby. My other baby Bucky, had to get spayed. That worried me also , I had Loki and Thor ,(Thor is Loki sister) spayed by another vet. Their scar was about 6 inches and had loads of stitches on the outside. They had a hard and painful recovery. Becky's scar was less than 2 inches and no outside stitches. She was great with little discomfort. I am so happy with both operations. I was charged less than my original price quotes Everyone was so nice.One more thing with all the money that I have spent on vets. Dr. Beth was the only one that personally called the day after their surgery to see how they were doing. All my fur babies, were strays my 3 gray babies I got when I found them in the middle of my back yard ,their eyes were still closed and less than 2 weeks old. I found their mom killed on side of road. Bucky came up to my house at about 3months old.How someone could just throw away animals is puzzling. If you look in the eyes of an animal it's like they can see inside your soul.Maybe that's why people do what they do.
