How to Save Money at Village Veterinarian

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'm an OTR truck driver and my puppy was due for her next set of shots. Being out on the road can be challenging to take care of things like this on time, but my pups health is very important. Its hard to know exactly where im going to be and schedule an appointment in advance. I had a free day and her next shots were due. I called 3 different places and none could get her in. Village Vets were recommended by another vet, they got us in the same day and got us in and out quickly. The vet and tech were both very kind and warm, getting on the floor and getting my scared pup comfortable with them before doing the deed. Thank you for helping Luna stay healthy!

Our dog has had bad vet interactions before which has caused her to despise going. She is fearful and reacts. We felt so comfortable with this staff. The Drs and techs are all about the animals comfort level. They explained everything and they will be our go to for life. Thank you so much

Love the office and everyone there. That is a tough business. My Lilu was combative on her first visit. They handled her with care, understanding and compassion.

Took my recently adopted 12 year old Chihuahua to make an appointment for teeth to be cleaned. Was given an appointment for the next day at 3:30. Arrived at 3:15 and was advised to have a seat and someone would be with me shortly. I was later advised that they were waiting for an exam room to open up. finally called shortly after 4:00 and the technician took me to a room and weighed my pet and advised me that it might be a while before I would be seen by the Veterinarian. So I was frustrated and left the building. I was later informed that there was only 1 Veterinarin in on that day and they were very busy. I do understand but decided that I should have been told that when making the appointment and not having to wait so long. Yes there could have been other reasons it took so long such as an emergency with a pet, but I was not advised that was the problem. Just me, a very senior citizen with short patience !!
