How to Save Money at Humboldt Veterinary Clinic, P.C.
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.

Humboldt Vet Clinic is very gentle, although when Sassy was getting her nails trimmed, the intern clipped a little to much and my pooch had blood drops. She got only the first pot and my husband and I both were like nope, you can stop. But when it came to sassy getting her animal. Glands expressed our medications, the humble vet clinic was exceptionally well done.

My Oliver always enjoys his "stay camp" at the Humboldt Vet Clinic. He always seems happy and very tired when we get home. We are pleased with the care he receives there and the ease of scheduling. We are confident we can vacation without worrying about him.

The staff is amazing, the facility is beautiful and everything is explained so you understand. They take their time and you don't feel like they are trying to rush out the door. Love Dr. Meyer and Dr. Aubrey as well as Michaela

I don’t not recommend humboldt vet for exotic animals what so ever!! About March 15th of this year, I took in my 3 year old male bearded dragon Rex. They told me he was completely healthy! He had no parasites and one of the chilliest dragons they had! Recently Rex started having some problems. Almost seemed like he was choking on something. His beard kept turning black and he kept holding his mouth open. Then he kept trying to force something up. The next day he seemed fine but I called the vet anyway- they said if he starts doing it again, take him in. About a week later I walk past his tank and check on him. He was pale and struggling we took him out and he starting going limp almost like passing out. We got him in the vet the next day. I arrived and they took Rex back and did an x-ray on him. Suddenly i was the worst beardy mom ever! The doctor told me I was just doing everything wrong. His tank was too small. His lights were wrong. Everything i was doing was wrong! She told me to change up his diet, his tank, and a couple other things. Which i did. Changed up his diet, added some stuff to his tank. (also there was some stuff on the side of rex’s mouth, i asked her about it and she said “oh that is feces” - implying that his tank is filthy and i let him roll around in his own poop!) I kept watching him but it didn’t seem like he was doing any better. he wasn’t eating, just laying in one spot. Kept opening his mouth again. Waiting for him to come around after doing what the vet told me to do, I was anxious there was something else going on. Today I checked on rex and he was completely pale laying there. Sadly Rex did pass. But we noticed there was something within his mouth, it looked like blood coming from it. I think there was something else going on with Rex that could have been handled but wasn’t. My little man has passed away too soon and i’m positive there could have been more done!!

All the staff were terrific!!! Can't imagine what more they could have done. I'm an anxious new mom and their patience, encouragement, and kindness put me at ease and trust. They never treated all my worrisome phone calls with anything but total empathy and understanding! However, Shadow hadn't calmed down even a little! Lol He seems to have more energy than before his surgery! 😴💜😴🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
