How to Save Money at Vintage Park Veterinary 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.

Keep deleting my comment. My dog died on Saturday from congestive heart failure. We spent extensive money for you to lie an mis diagnose my dog saying there was no evidence and witheld medicine and treat meant that could have saved his life. Please don’t go to this vet, it will save your animals life. He suffered because his your negligence, my life will never be the same without my dog.

You have blood on your hands and I am now seeking an attorney. Update* taco is now dead from congestive heart failure, which the dr said there was no evidence of that. Please don’t bother with this vet, your life companion will be dead. They knowingly withhold him from previously prescribed medicine because they wanna sell you something else. Took almost 2 weeks of going back and forth only to run out of medicine. The dr himself will never communicate with you. It’s about quality of life, for the short amount he has left Then you only give me a 2 week supply of pain meds which is the whole reason we came,

They are so nice and they explain everything in detail to you. I was able to get an appt in as soon as possible on Christmas eve. My poor dog had a very bad ear infection due to chronic allergies as explained by the vet. The front receptionist and the vet are so nice. Would highly recommend this place. UPDATE: There have been multiple times I have attempted to reach out to them because of either having a question and my pets medication or getting a refill. I am always advised that I will be getting a call back but never do. I will attempt to call them back but will most likely be taking my business else were.

When I scheduled my pet's appointment, I asked very specific questions about the process involved to get sutures removed. The receptionist/tech sounded very confident that they could do this in their office. Once there, the vet brings my pet back to me and says there aren't any sutures. I had to show him exactly where they were. He takes my dog back, I hear my dog yelping in pain, and the doctor comes back to say he couldn't do it. He tells me my dog will need to be sedated for this. BUT I ASKED THAT BEFORE SCHEDULING HIS APPOINTMENT! This woman told me he wouldn't need sedation for suture removal. Now I have to take my dog to a different location, very far away from home. I still get charged a fee for this visit, even though the services scheduled for were not rendered. The receptionist said it was because he was "visually" examined, and had his weight and temperature taken. Are you serious?! I don't recommend this place one bit, even if you think you've asked about everything your pet might need. Once your pet goes in, be prepared for a different plan of action and unnecessary costs. Incompetence at the highest level - on both parts... the receptionist and the doctor himself.

Doctor and staff were very nice, got a quick appointment for my kitty. Excellent Covid safety protocol, cleaned waiting area between patients but I was still able to enter the building with my pet and be on the premises while the vet did the exam. Thoroughly explained treatment, did not try to upsell testing or unnecessary procedures. Will go back!
