How to Save Money at Macinnes Susan DVM
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.

We love Dr Sue! Knowledgeable, kind and very patient with our Bassetts. She is fair and has reasonable prices.

Dr. Maclnnes and Hailey are an awesome duo. This is their second time to see Rusty and Marco and I can certainly say I found their new vet. My boys are getting older and it’s not as easy to transport them anymore. Having this option is going to be needed more and more so I’m glad I found it.

Dr McInnes and her staff provided the highest quality of care and compassion during our two visits. As our last one resulted in transitioning our beloved 19 year old dog to heaven, Dr. McInnes and her staff were so caring and really helped us through a difficult time. I'm so grateful we have such a wonderful veterinarian in Half Moon Bay.

Having a house call made it possible for my cat to have her shots and checkup without adding to her already high level of anxiety. Thank you, Doctor! We will contact you when she needs her boosters the following year.

Susan MacInnes was awesome! She's smart. Very smart. And it's obvious she loves animals. Her staff are knowledgeable and skilled. I have a diabetic cat, a cat with a reoccurring URI and bull terrier who's... well he's a handful. Having a vet as on the ball as MacInnes is a huge benefit.
