How to Save Money at Animal Dental 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.

I absolutely recommend the Animal Dental Clinic for any pet dental needs. They are a great team, super caring and highly skilled. Background: Our 12-year-old mini dachshund Piper has had dental issues for several years and while he's had many teeth removed in the past, it finally came time to take out all the remaining teeth so he could have optimal health. Our general vet recommended a dental specialist because Piper's two remaining canines were highly problematic: his upper had caused a fistula into his sinuses, and his lower had caused so much bone loss there was only a sliver left in his jaw underneath, putting him at high risk of his jaw breaking when the tooth was removed. Enter Animal Dental Clinic: From the moment we made contact we were put at ease and knew we could trust this team to take care of our little Piper. Yasmin at the front is highly personable and kind and took care of all the details. Andy, the vet assistant, exudes love for animals and made Piper feel very welcome. Dr. Weldon not only knew her stuff but I could tell she would work on Piper with the same love and attention she would if it was her own pup. She also assured us she hadn't broken a jaw yet, even one this fragile – and she's still got a perfect record! Piper came out of the surgery all gums and is now happy, healthy and still handsome! Thank you to everyone at the Animal Dental Clinic who took such great care of him!

Professional, friendly, and fair priced. I work at another clinic chain and with my discounts, which are heavy, it is financially better for me here. I also get certified dental specialist vs. just a vet doing a dental. This save an entire molar for my youngest girl. A customer for life and two amazingly healthy squirrel huntresses.

The first time I came to the animal dental clinic was in May of this year. My cat, Kahlua, is 14 years old and had some seriously bad dental problems. Dr Weldon was able to get all of kahluas teeth out no problem. It has been 4 months since her procedure and Kahlua is doing better than ever. Sweet gummy gal. I really appreciate the whole staff at the Animal Dental Clinic. Yasmin at the front desk is very helpful. Nicole is awesome. And Dr Weldon is a great vet. I feel comfortable and confident bringing my kitties here. Everyone is awesome! Thank you so much for bringing more happiness and time to my old lady’s life.

😉👍🏻As usual… Dr. Weldon is the best veterinarian I’ve ever encountered. Her staff CARES! The staff reflects Dr. Weldon because Dr. Weldon cares…. you know because she answers your questions regarding your concerns. Her staff is knowledgeable! They are friendly and helpful. Do I recommend this Veterinary Clinic? 🔑100% I do …. I have been going to this facility since I moved back to CO aka 2018. My Mia, my 4 pound Yorkie…. doesn’t even shake when we go to Dr. Weldon’s clinic…to Mia… it’s family!❤️

I had a great experience at Animal Dental Clinic for my 5 year old dog's first cleaning. The staff seem genuinely happy at work, which to me is a huge indicator of how well a business is run. There was quick availability for the dental assessment, and the cleaning was scheduled two weeks later. All details were clearly covered at the assessment, including pricing. Our total for cleaning my 35lb dog was just under $600. My only critique is that they push the teeth cleaning products pretty heavily (they're discussed at the assessment, when the vet calls during the dental procedure, and at discharge), but all in all my experience was 10/10.
