How to Save Money at SARVEC
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.
Reviews from Google
Nobody ever wants to bring their fur baby to an emergency vet as opposed to their regular vet because it's unfamiliar and usually means the crisis is happening at a really bad time. But when Four had a urinary blockage for the first time ever and on a Friday night, we ended up at SARVEC for the weekend. I was terrified for him, but all of the staff and vets there were absolutely amazing. Sweet, kind, and compassionate. They explained what was happening and how he needed to be treated in terms easy to understand. The costs aligned with what the Internet had already prepared me for when researching what I suspected was ailing Four. But most of all, the staff encouraged me to call whenever I wanted and to actually come up and visit Four as often as I wanted during his hospitalization. They discharged him to our regular vet Monday morning for a final assessment instead of potentially sending him home too early (which could have caused a relapse). They educated me on the treatment/special food Four would need going forward after his emergency. And to my surprise - even though they had saved Four, discharged him, and moved on to their other emergencies - SARVEC called me a week later to check on how Four was doing. He wasn't just a one-and done emergency to them... they wanted to know if he was going to be okay long-term after their job was done. Nobody ever wants to take their fur baby to an emergency vet, but if you find yourself with no choice, absolutely call SARVEC first.

SARVEC IS GREAT! Had an emergency with our English Bulldog Bowzer and they were able to figure out his problem. They were very helpful and informative the entire time, and for it being an emergency at 2 AM they were responsive and acted quickly. Pricing was not horrible considering they are an emergency room. Bowzer and us thank you SARVEC!

Our 15 year old golden doodle possibly had a stroke and fluid in her lungs. It was so unexpected and heartbreaking, and we had to put her to sleep. SARVEC staff sent us a sweet card and a paw print. They also recommended Paw Prints for her ashes and they did an excellent job. Thank you.
