How to Save Money at Bradshaw Veterinary 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.

Doc Bradshaw is a phenomenal vet and has more than once gone out of his way to help myself or my clientele in times of need. He is definitely not one of the money hungry vets just trying to profit as much as possible off you like most vets today are. He truly cares about you and your animals and the sporting dog community.

I used the clinic to perform hip x-ray exams for breeding evaluation. The staff were very friendly. Dr Bradshaw was personable, kind, and efficient. It was a great experience.

I have been using Dr. Bradshaw for a couple of years now for both my 3-year-old black lab, and my 9-year-old Australian shepherd. He has been the best vet I have ever worked with. He's very familiar with hunting/sporting dogs and considers these activities with each of his treatment plans for anything that comes up. He's very responsive and will text/call patients to answer any questions or concerns that come up. In addition to this, he has always made room for us to come in quickly for unexpected incidents. On top of all this, his prices are lower than we have had in the past for similar services. Recently we found our black lab has a mild case of heartworms, and he has been on top of getting him the care he needs and answering our questions every step of the way. I cannot recommend this man and his clinic enough after all he has helped us with. I tell anyone I know in the area with a sporting dog about our experiences with him and strongly recommend they use him as well.

Prior to the change in ownership, my cat had been going to Green Moutain Animal Hospital for 6 years. I made her yearly appointment a month in advance and was told about the change, that the Clinic is now Bradshaw Veterinary Clinic and they had moved down the road. I took a half day off work for the appointment. On Thursday afternoon I received a call that Dr. Bradshaw had made the decision to only treat sporting dogs. Changing their speciality is perfectly fine, but they either should have made this decision sooner or finished out the long standing appointments they already had scheduled. 1.5 day notice that I need to find a new vet is ridiculous.

I just called to schedule my dog in for her heartworm preventative shot, and I was informed that the clinic is now specialized to sporting dogs only. Based on other comments here, I see that this decision was made at least a couple of months ago, but I received no notice of the change until I called for the appointment. I feel the least the clinic could have done was reach out to any of their existing families to make sure we were aware of the change BEFORE our pets needed to be seen. Instead it seems we will all find out either when they call to cancel on us or we call to book an appointment.
