How to Save Money at Kierland 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.

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.

Kierland Animal Clinic will always mean the world to me. I deeply regret ever taking my beloved and cherished innocent angel, Gertie, to another veterinarian and just one day before her official adoption after fostering her for 18 months (she was labeled hospice with the rescue, so she was to be with us for the rest of her life, she became family right away and we always wanted to make it official, just had to wait…and unfortunately she wasn’t adopted in time to also save her, I did not imagine she would not be protected and I would not be taking her home to tuck her in…). Gertie would be alive today had I gone to Kierland Animal Clinic, where she was always loved, valued, treated with compassion and respect and adoration. Velvet gloves. Hindsight… They always listened to me and communicated effectively and they treated Gertie like their own, never judging her for her disability (which was beautiful and perfect), she was special needs, but only special, strong, patient and so smart! Brightest light and presence. I will forever question the events of that day…. I wasn’t thinking it would be her last. My trust was misplaced in several areas. Gertie did not know a loving calm gentle environment the last 4 hours of her life on July 3 (at the emergency vet). They did not have her best interest at heart and were not thorough, could have cared less... (so much to say, it was a nightmare). That will play on a loop in my head for my unforeseeable future. My heart is completely shattered, my pain is deep, it’s been difficult to breathe. I miss my girl, my little sunshine. She was and is my heart, my soul and my love. I write this with the deepest gratitude for Kierland Animal Clinic and their unmatched compassion. They pause, they see and they love. They care. I don’t want others to suffer like sweet Gertie did in the end. Or to endure the trauma that I now live with. Please make sure that when you choose your Veterinarian for your babies that it’s one with a heart. Choose Kierland. Gertie always went in their door with a calm and confident demeanor and that speaks volumes to me about the energy at Kierland. She trusted them. Thank you Kierland team for all of your kindness and tender loving care my Gertie girl. Tish Grey, Gertie’s mom

THE BEST experience as a brand new pet parent. Front desk was helpful. Dr. Gibson was amazing. Welcoming, friendly and answered all of my questions. You can tell she loves what she does for a living. Kierland Animal Clinic has gained a new forever client! Thank you all for making Rocco feel comfortable and cared for.

Dr Krista was great and explained everything about my dogs injury and severity of surgery very well. They continued to contact me throughout the process. Every employee was very nice and they took care of my boy Bruno. I am forever grateful for their help!
