How to Save Money at The Falls Animal 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.

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.

I had a first visit is free experience; Let me tell you they found so many medications to sell us($300 worth which we talk down to $200)and then sells us on a nail clipping ($20) which they did a sup par job it looked like they didn't do it and then proceeds to tell us we need her old vet records to know what is truly wrong with her it's been a couple days of giving her meds and she has gotten worse and when we call they try to sell us on more stuff mind you this is only the main "vet's" the rest of the stay was nice and not as pushy to sell you anything and everything to cure what you think and not know because you didn't wait to get the vet records from real veterinarians that save this dogs life and im sorry i didn't go back to them in the first place but don't fall for first visit is free the "vet" will upsell you because of your dogs history

I was referred to The Falls Animal Clinic by my neighbor and what a great recommendation ! The doctor is phenomenal and the support staff are awesome. I love that it's a small, privately owned business. You can tell everyone truly cares. My dog is always anxious going to the vet. Dr. Baquero is so patient and calm when dealing with my puppy she takes away all his anxiety . The price is affordable and the care is exceptional!! If anyone is looking for a veterinarian give them a try you won’t be disappointed!!

Always very kind and my dog is very comfortable every time we go. She’s happy to see Dr. Baquero and the doctor clearly loves what she’s doing. The rest of the staff is just as wonderful and they even have a little candy bowl.

Dr. Baquero and staff have been nothing short of amazing with my little recuse doggy, Peewee! He had a horrible skin allergy and had gone to another vet office which they didn’t help us too much. But Dr. Baquero went through all the possibilities, was extremely thorough and we almost at 100% in getting Peewee some relief. Thank you so much for all that you all do! Dr. Baquero and staff have definitely won us over. We are forever grateful ❤️
