How to Save Money at Green Dog Veterinary Center

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.

I finally found a wonderful veterinary clinic for my three dogs! I fell in love as soon as I walked into their office. The staffed greeted us like very warmly and enthusiastically and assisted us to a very nice, private waiting room. They immediately made my dogs and I feel welcomed and comfortable. I was there to get dental exams and a cleaning for my babies, and they magically made it happen! My three very timid dogs got their teeth cleaned for the first time, and we all lived through the experience, thanks to the kindness and expertise of the vet and his staff! I couldn't have had a better experience. The staff were all exceptional and made every part of the process a breeze. Making an appointment was easy with their online appointment making system. They even retrieved my dog's old medical records. I highly recommend Green Dog Dental & Wellness! My first visit was a wonderful experience.

We took our cat to 'Green Dog' today for his first dental appointment. Clean office, great vibes, wonderful staff, good price! Our nervous cat that hates the vet office was taken such well care of. Our vet was very smart and everyone was emotionally attentive to the pets. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to visiting again for our future pet related needs!

This was the best visit we have ever had and I have been to a lot. This was our first time visiting and we are so glad to have found such a wonderful clinic and so close to home. Everyone at the clinic was so friendly and happy to be at work. The clinic showered our dog with love and cuddles. Every step of the way we were kept informed about our dogs progress and the fees involved. Everything was explained so clearly to us. It was a judgement free space and we just cannot believe what a pleasant experience this was considering the stress a vet visit can be. We told the staff today how happy we were and we will be recommending this clinic to everyone we know. Such happy customers, Thankyou!

The visit was exactly what I expected. Positive check in and supportive representatives. The team was thorough of the dental exam process and clearly defined the costs involved for my dogs dental cleaning. I was also provided with regular texting on updates during my dogs appointment. I knew he was in good hands. The doctor ended the appointment with his feedback and suggestions that were very helpful for me as a first time dog owner. I would highly recommend Green Dog and we will be returning soon for other vet services in the future. Thank you Green Dog staff and doctors.

Green Dog did such a good job in cleaning my dog's teeth. They are honest and will not push towards an anaesthetic dental cleaning. The place is run by veterinarians so the review of my dog's teeth was comprehensive. The office is clean and welcoming so much so that my dog was not at all stressed going in. Highly recommend this place.
