How to Save Money at Paws Plus Veterinary

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.

Great prices. Great staff. Our malinois puppy was well loved. My only complaint is - not allowing owners to go back with their dog. As a dog trainer it’s important that I’m able to be present for training purposes to insure I’m doing everything possible from a behavioral standpoint to insure positive only experiences. I hope you guys will consider implementing this - at least for accredited & insured dog training professionals if nothing else😄

I had an amazing experience at Paws Plus Vet Clinic! The staff were incredibly compassionate and attentive to both me and my pet. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome and cared for. The veterinarians are highly knowledgeable, and they took the time to explain every detail about my pet’s treatment options. Their genuine love for animals shines through in everything they do. The clinic is clean, well-organized, and I truly felt that my pet was in the best hands. I couldn’t be happier with the service we received—Paws Plus is definitely our go-to vet from now on!

Not only affordable with same day appointments, but staff was extremely nice and helpful on what may be going on with one of my kittens. Even had results the following day. Definitely recommend giving them a chance with caring for your furr babies.

Had an absolutely wonderful experience here and was greeted by the sweetest staff. My boy Bones was well taken care of at this facility and any questions I had were answered quickly and professionally. I can't wait to see this place grow and I'll be taking my other pets here as well. Highly recommend!
