How to Save Money at Thompson Veterinary Services (Mobile and Office For Large and Small Animals)
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 want to give them 10 stars! I recently got my first pig and noticed some issues. It took a while to find someone that would treat her. They were amazing working with phone calls and photos to see if we could sort it out without coming in. We had to go in after all and they got in me super last minute. Every single staff member was amazing helping me. The treated my pig and sent me home with the other items I needed. And on top of that kindly brought two nice caps in for my toddlers to take home! The price was so reasonable. I honestly could not say enough nice things about this business and I will be taking all my pets here for any future needs!

Had our first visit there today. The office is very clean and the staff is excellent. Dr. Aimee was very knowledgeable. The appointment was done in a timely manner without feeling rushed. Super glad we have an amazing office for our pup to go to!

Very disappointed in the reaction from a female staff member. This office was recommended by a coworker so I drove over to ask if they see snakes because my recent rescue is showing signs of a RI. The man upfront was kind and helpful and went to ask someone in the back who replied loudly “HELL NO!” Unprofessional and very hurtful! I was there in the office and heard what and how you said it!! She might not have fur and 4 legs, but she is my PET! Compassion goes further than you know for ALL animals. A simple “no” would have done just fine! Thanks to Barnesville Animal clinic for treating me like an actual client/human and pet owner, I was connected to someone who could help me thanks to them! First impressions are huge.

My mom took her dog to get stitches out. Staff was super nice to people and pets! I don't think I've seen a dog wag their tail when going to the vet after being to a vet once. 😂( Hers' did) Very nice building!!!

Everyone at TVS is awesome, if I could give more stars I would. When I had to put my senior cat down they made a painful situation much easier with there genuine concern and heartfelt sympathy. Later I received a sympathy card in the mail with all of there signatures which was so above and beyond especially in this world where it seems like no one cares anymore.
