How to Save Money at Exceptional Pets Maricopa

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.

I called them on a whim to avoid stressing my male cat out with a long drive. These people were wonderful. They gave Nacho a thorough exam and let me go back to keep him calm. They explained to me what was wrong with his eye and how to look for future recurrences. The medication was pricey for sure but they told me where to find a vitamin suppliment to help out less expensive elsewhere. They are very good vets.

This was our first visit for a grooming appointment. One of our two dogs can be a difficult client. He HATES fur dryers. Our groomer, Lizzie, was so kind and patient with him. She is willing to work with his fur dryer anxieties. Our boy came out smiling and looking oh so handsome. Our other dog is a much better behaved client. She came out looking so adorable and perfectly groomed. Not a fur out of place. The front desk staff was welcoming, kind and helpful. They made our trip easy and scheduled us out for four additional appointments. We believe we have found our new “Pet Salon”

My 2 Lovely Aluskies were groomed here for the 1st time and they did an amazing job at cleaning and trimming them exactly as I requested leaving my Aluskies spring fresh for hours after they were groomed. My family and I couldn’t stop showering them with extra hugs of affection! The only sad thing was that one of my Aluskies got shampoo in their eyes, which was very frightening because he could barely see, his eyes were very irritated, sensitive to light, and he was compelled to attempt to relieve the irritation by rubbing his eye with his paws. The team alerted me immediately upon my arrival and confirmed that they washed his eyes with an eye cleaning solution and that he should be fine after 24hrs and if not, I could bring him back to see the Vet for further analysis and treatment. I also purchased some eye cleaning solution as recommended, which helped a lot, yet it seemed to get worse before it got better. Lizzy was so helpful, kind, and sincerely cared for my baby. The Vet was very understanding and accommodating for this unfortunate instance, but thankfully we did not need a return visit because he started to get better. We were afraid for him, but we’re happy that he is doing so much better now, and that’s all that matters. Aside from that, overall they did an EXCELLENT job, better than a number of groomers I’ve attended in the past, and the team followed-up with me to check on both of my babies to make sure they were okay. Because of their genuine care and the excellent work they did on their grooming, I’d still recommend going to Exceptional Pets, where you’ll have a one-stop-shop for your pet care needs.

we had an amazing experience with the staff at Exeptional! our rescue boy is slowly coming around and the staff were incredible with working with him! they were very patient and understanding as well as gentle! Dr Wheeler shocked me when he came in and sat on the ground with our boy, made me very happy and thankful to have found a Vet that is there for more than just the money! I cannot stress enough the amount of gratitude I have for the whole experience! thank you Dr Wheeler and your amazing staff for all you've done!

Dr. Miller and staff are AMAZING!!! Unfortunately we had to put our dog down yesterday. The whole process was the most peaceful. The staff had genuine compassion and Dr. Millers words were so kind and caring, he really made the process so much easier. We did not have a good experience at another vet in Maricopa. If you want people that really genuinely care bring go to Exceptional Pets!!!
