How to Save Money at Wesson Animal 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.

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. Wesson and his staff are amazing. I have never experienced such professionalism and caring and communication with my vet as I have with the difficult situation we were in. Dr. Wesson understood that we were on a budget and took us in immediately for a procedure that we were quoted 3500 for and he and his staff communicated with every step of the way through the surgery of removing a "foreign object" from our baby. I would recommend this specific vet office and staff to anyone and everyone. We picked up our loved kitty that we had thought we would not be bringing home because of these wonderful people! Great prices and compassion! Thank you all for what you do!!!! -The Boucher's

Wesson Animal Clinic is a wonderful vet clinic. Dr. Wesson can keep your pets healthy and get them better if they have illness. He has kept my cat healthy. I see dogs here and owners said dog care is excellent. All the staff is so good to take care of animals. The prices are reasonable for excellent pet care.

Very thankful that I chose this vet, with not knowing where to go having just moved to Mobile! Everyone was great! Dr. Goldman told me she would treat my cat more conservatively before running lab work. I am appreciative of that because it's not necessarily how a lot of doctors practice nowadays. Will definitely be making this my cat's vet!

Love this place. They are really nice and you can tell they care about your pet. We have two cats, and they both feel safe going there.

Dr. Wesson and his staff were very sweet to this paranoid dog mom of me. They were very gentle and took time to explain everything to me without making me feel rushed. The office is very clean and seems to be well up to date. I wish I would have gotten the tech’s name that was with us so I could complement her directly because she was super sweet and she had super cute braids 😊 Highly recommend this office!
