How to Save Money at Nottely Oaks Animal Hospital
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.

Our pup Saige was diagnosed with a lung tumor. Nottely Oaks was incredibly compassionate towards us and Saige. Ten days after being diagnosed we had to euthanize Saige because she was struggling to get enough oxygen. We can't say enough positive things about the care we received. One of the most difficult days of our lives and we feel they really cared. Thank you Dr. Stevenson and your entire staff for loving Saige like your own.

Having just moved to the area recently, I was in need of a new vet for my two dogs. My neighbor suggested Dr. Stevenson, and I’m glad he did. Everyone at Nottely Oaks was fantastic. There are no cold metal examination tables at this place, Dr. Stevenson and her techs get right down on the floor with your babies, to try and make them feel right at home. My 13 year old was extremely nervous and quite the handful, but they handled her with great care and concern. I would recommend Dr. Stevenson highly, she is a gem.

UPDATE: Now have had my new girl spayed and stitches taken out, and all went well. The staff is quite kind and caring, and I can't complain a bit about anything that has happened here. ORIGINAL: My long-time vet's office closed and I was seeking a new place where I would feel comfortable. I believe I found it. Prompt attention to the appointment. Greeted by a very well educated tech who asked questions about my new dog's history, vaccines and such. I was also able to ask questions about testing and titers, spay, and dental. The tech took the dog for the required blood test and was very caring and enjoyed holding her. Received the blood test results promptly and had all of my other questions answered when the vet came into the room. Again, I felt quite comfortable and happy with the answers. I was told I would receive email estimates for some of the procedures I was considering, and they also arrived very quickly. Overall, this was a great experience, and I am very happy with the prices I have been quoted and what I paid for that first visit.

As in all things in business, you're only as good as the employees allow you to be. Your staff makes or breaks you. We waited 6 months to get in for a new patient appointment with this vet due to their stellar reputation in the community. We arrived to be told by her staff they have absolutely no idea of any appointment. Well, there goes your REPUTATION. Whomever I spoke to didn't even enter me into their computer. Please consider this before you try and bring your sick pet to this Vet, you probably be turned away. Very poor service !!!
