How to Save Money at Vet Wellcare Vaccinations Clinic at Pet Supermarket

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.

Polite and timely. The scale wasn't accurate at first. Registered my dog as 75 pounds which I knew to be incorrect. It was starting from 25 pounds instead of 0. Probably bc I stood on it to get me doggie too..but, I did step off and it did not go to 0...had to be reset. Recommend techs always check to ensure starts at 0.

I just had a horrible experience at the VIP Petcare clinic location on State Bridge Rd. in Duluth, GA. I went to the store to have my 16 year old dog vaccinated. When I arrived, I wasn't warmly greeted as I have been many times in the past, but was immediately asked if I had registered my pet for the clinic. I indicated that I had not, and was directed to follow the instructions that were on the sign in the window. I asked the VIP Petcare employee to clarify where exactly the instructions could be found because from my view, there wasn't a sign. Again I was pointed towards the front window of the store. I went outside and there weren't any instructions in the window. As I looked around, another customer directed me to a signboard that was down the sidewalk where you could only view the info if you were coming from a certain side of the parking lot. I followed the instructions, and registered my pet. I waited in my car for 15-20 minutes until I received the text message indicating that my pet was ready to be seen. After going into the clinic area, I tell the VIP Petcare employee that my pet has previously had reactions to vaccinations, and would need to have Benadryl administered. I was told that they no longer give Benadryl due to the assigned wait times, and as a result, they would not be able to vaccinate my pet. There should have been questioning during the registration process to find out this information to avoid wasting customer's time. I wasted a hour of my time from my drive time and wait time. Out of all of my years of being a customer, I have never received such unfriendly and unhelpful service. This experience fell short of "VIP" treatment, and will result me looking for other companies that appreciate my business.
