How to Save Money at Tender Touch Animal Hospital
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.

Tender Touch was there for my family and I on Saturday during a very hard time with one of our beloved family basset hounds. The two gentlemen at the front desk were so kind and helpful. The doctor was gentle and loving to us and our hound and professional and capable. I won't forget it and we are very appreciative of the care and expertise. They have cared for four bassets now for us over many years. We look forward to the new renovations being done and recommend tender touch.

I have had an amazing experience here, Dr. Barr was the most patient person while caring for my dog who was nearing the end of his life. She thoroughly explaining every option to me and never tried pushing me in a certain direction, like I have experienced in other offices. My cat now sees her and our new dog and we’re still all smiles. I would recommend this vet to any of my family or friends.

Dr. Rose was very knowledgeable and thorough. She answered all my questions. And followed up with my cat’s previous vet record to get the details and gave me a thorough understanding of my cats health.

I love Dr. Barnett, and all of the staff and doctors at TenderTouch. They are so good with my dogs. They are so thorough and informative. They are warm and kind. I’ve been taking my fur babies to TenderTouch for over 10 years, and will continue to do so! Highly recommend.
