How to Save Money at Vetco

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.

Honestly would even give it 1 star. I took my dog there to get vaccinated here today and the nurse that works there body slammed my dog. My dog is not hostile or aggressive but after them agitating her with bringing different employees around to help my dog sit she kept moving, the nurse that was there from the beginning eventually got impatient and body slammed my dog. Don’t go here! my dog didn’t deserve that treatment whatsoever.

I waited in line for over an hour and a half to get my 3 dogs their yearly shots, this place is way overpriced!! They wait until you get to the front of the line and then smack you with a ridiculous price!! Vetco it would be nice if you posted your prices to the people waiting in line so they can decide if they want to pay that amount or leave!! They also wanted past shot history on the dogs and I was not previously informed that I needed to have this!! I will never go back to vetco!! It was a horrible experience, they really take advantage of the people who just want to do the right thing for their animals, they are very shifty people, go somewhere else

Stood in line 1 hour with two dogs at 72 years old. Had past records in a file and request from county for rabies due to expiration. The vet would only sell me a one year vaccine. I wanted 3 year, like all my previous records. The one and three year were the same price. I would have had to come back and endure the same very slow service for the next 3 years. And the price was the same. I left and bought the 3 year rabies shot elsewhere!

Sure, you have to wait sometimes but that’s understandable. What stands out is how friendly the staff is and how well they treat your pet. Will continue to go here for updates on shots!

They scheduled my appointment for 5:55 PM. I was running a little behind because of an accident on the 10. I didn’t arrive until 6:03 PM. They said the doctor had already left. The doctor leaves at 6 o’clock. What establishment with schedule an appointment five minutes before the doctor leaves. And you’re telling me that a doctor cleaned up, packed up and left within three minutes. Now there is no appointments available and I have to get my dog his second booster a vaccines within a certain timeframe or we have to start the whole process over again.
