How to Save Money at Value Vet /Shelter Vetinarian
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.

Terrible customer service , receptionist is very rude I’d recommend having someone else answer the phones. I called to ask if they neuter dogs and she spent more time refusing to answer my question than just a simple yes or no.

We went here and had our 3 animals looked at. Vet said our cat had kidney failure and recommended 2 more tests to confirm. We go along with it and basically tells us there's no treatment besides wet food. Go to a different vet and they run a test to check kidneys. The cat doesn't have kidney failure. 4 months later cat is sick and we hit an emergency vet who also tests the cat. Still no kidney failure. So the assumption here is the vet either is bad or they milked us for money. I would go somewhere else.

It's not much of a value. Like most vets it's an ala cart menu. I didn't particularly like the vet I saw . I watched him gushing over a young attractive blonde girl and by proxy her dog, He seemed very enthusiastic. By contrast when I saw him with my 16 year old dog he was dry and not particularly interested. He recommended I do about $600 dollars or more of blood tests and ex rays. Eventually I got the flea medicine I needed and the de-wormer . The cost was a little more than $200 dollars.

I would give this 5 stars but the girls in the front are really doing this business a disservice with their attitudes. Davidson & all the Vets are caring, compassionate and will go above and beyond when you’re panicking bc your loved one is ill or on the verge of dying.... but then, u go to the front & the girls are unkind, unfriendly and downright rude. It’s not just me but my hubs, my bff and 2 of my neighbors who recommended Dr. Davidson stopped going there bc of their behavior. They make you feel like your an inconvenience and while this place has low costs- it’s still an expensive cost. There’s never an excuse for this. I grew up poor& worked at Burger King in the dirty south when they had the .99 whoppers & Ihop in the hood graveyard shift to get me through college. No matter what, I did my job with kindness to every1. This would be the type of place where this is warranted. I too am getting to the point where I would switch bc they make you feel like you’re not suppose to ask them questions. When I tried to clarify I was told to hold on bc she’s busy & she messed up my script, and another time I forgot the meds to which she tried to blame it on me but she’s suppose to hand it to me (Esp when u have a sick dog in one arm and a bunch of meds in the other) There is one lady who does speak to you- I believe she owns a Yorkie. You guys really have to get it together. WE ARE YOUR CLIENTS. You need to be able to multitask, show compassion, greet us, & be transparent. It really, really ruins Dr. Davidson’s hard work. You have an amazing job & every1 has an overwhelming job so that’s not an excuse. People depend on their pets & love them like family so if you can’t be friendly then at least be professional.
