How to Save Money at SAGE Veterinary Centers - Dublin
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.

My dogs nail came off and wouldn’t stop bleeding. Wait time wasn’t that long and they took great care of him. We were expecting to pay a lot but ended up not having to at all. The vet tech helped out a lot, super grateful but didn’t get her name, she has a piercing above her lip. I would tell her thank you a million times. Definitely will be bringing my dog back here and recommend highly to others.

I had an appointment with Dr. Valverde for an orthopedic consultation for my shepherd mix dog who is having some issues. I have been searching for answers without much luck. She was very thorough and easy to understand. She sought out and valued my input. Her staff was also very engaged when working with my dog. (He loved them.) Her report and consultation were very helpful. I finally felt like someone was seeing what I was seeing! Thank you!

Everyone we encountered at SAGE was caring, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dr. Richardson was phenomenal. We knew our dog Boomer was in great hands.

The staff was amazing, very compassionate and caring. They took such good care of my dog; we had a major scare, but Dr. Hoover was able to stabilize him. Our family is very grateful for all the staff at SAGE. Thank you so very much!!
