How to Save Money at The Village Vets Stone Mountain

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.

At Village Pets, the experience was truly heartwarming. Nurse Shayla and the doctor showered my baby with such warmth and care. Their professionalism blended seamlessly with genuine love, making every moment special. The doctor took the time to explain everything in intricate detail, crafting a treatment plan while i was there. It was clear that they not only cared for my little one's well-being but also for my peace of mind. Reflecting on a past ordeal, Village Pets emerged as a beacon of hope. Years ago, they rescued my baby from a perilous situation at another clinic. Their swift action and unwavering dedication saved her precious life. For this, my gratitude knows no bounds. Village Pets will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Troika got a full grooming and a Lion cut today. Love her boots! Usually they leave a little pompom on the tail but I wanted to leave it all. She didn’t require any sedation at all. Not even restraint. She just layed down on the table like a Sphinx like she owned the place and was ready to get her hair did 🐈. Becky did a great job and was very informative. I’m glad they weren’t eager to put her under sedation unless she needed it. See the dark patches on her skin. That’s dermatitis from the hair pulling all the time. It gets so irritating that touching any connected hair causes them discomfort. That’s why they don’t like to be touched. The trick is to brush them regularly with a comb and a wire brush before they get matted. But once it’s matted you can only shave it off with a trimmer or take them in for grooming. Obviously the short hair will help everything. It was only $180 plus about that much for vaccines and testing.

Took my pets and didn't receive great service. I understand they are short staffed, but the wait times are too long. The pricing is not transparent, and they charged me about $700 for too few services. The vet tech told the veterinarian something along the lines of "We're making good money today" while attending my pets. These people are more interested in getting money out of people than caring for pets. Do not recommend.

They were so nice. The tech was so knowledgeable that we thought she was the vet at first. The vet took her time with us to really understand my cat's history. We are new to this practice and will be coming back with our dogs, as well!!

Visiting from out of state. Had to get the dog in for a problem. Village Vets Stone Mountain were very accomodating. I was very impressed with the super friendly staff and the concern for my dog. I wish I lived here. They would be my first choice for a vet!
