How to Save Money at Mars Petcare

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.

Waste of truck drivers time. I came in at noon, off loaded at about little after midnight. Night crew does a great job, nice to work with. T does a good job, great attitude. If management could get trucks in and out faster I would give it 5 stars.

We deliver product here, Red Collar Pet, San Bernadino, and have been here 5 times. Have had to wait 3-4 DAYS to get unloaded with no reason given. They leave it all up to the “guard” to handle the delivery drivers. If we didn’t have kids we could go visit while waiting we would NOT deliver here. You are expected to just sit in your truck until they are ready to unload you. Again, for 3-4 days!?!? They need new schedule managers. Doesn’t matter when your appointment ( which they require) is. They will call you in whenever they feel like it and the “average”wait time is supposedly 18 hours. RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!

Not bad but why they lie about having empty trailers is beyond me. They expect you to come with an empty but can't give you one... if everyone hoards empty trailers no one will every be able to come and get your products to move. Please take the people who move your products into consideration and have some respect. Also, be mindful of how you guys pack your trailers and where it's supposed to go, you load it unbalanced, on top of all the other minute nuances us truck drivers have to go through including but not limited to disrespectful drivers, we now have to worry about how you guys stuffed the trailers and how to balance them so we can haul your products legally and safely. Like I said this is something very important. My last shipment had came from Washington and had been sitting in Reno to be taken to California, well it was, I suppose okay for all those other states, but the way it was packed the weight was illegal for California (it's final destination), and there was no more room to adjust my tandems to make the weight limit, and there was no way for me to take it back to Washington for you guys to open your seal and rearrange everything up to code... there was a lot of man power and hours lost to get that load to be legal and safe to be delivered to its destination, this shouldn't happen, this should not be a thing anymore in this day in age.

I've seen lots of shipping guys but THIS ANGRY AND RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL ?? We all can have bad days but it doesn't mean we can treat other people that way . Other than that - nice facility .
