How to Save Money at Value Vet

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.

Excellent, my pup loves the staff and is very comfortable with them. She goes with them and doesn't even look back at me. Alyssa and the other staff members are very nice. Dr. Jay is a wonderful VETERINARY. He gave my pup an excellent evaluation. I'm so glad that I brought Alley-E to Value Vet. Dr. Jay found her baby tooth grew in the wrong way. Sadly, her previous vet didn't even mention it. Her dental surgery is set up. I was thrilled that he was well versed in Jack Russell/Rat Terriers' dogs. Even explaining about their bones. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Value Vet. If you're not taking your pet to Value Vet Are you sure your pet needs are met.

They got my cat in immediately and were so kind, helpful and caring. They were able to do X-rays, bloodwork and get results quickly to figure out what was wrong. They followed up with me to see how she was doing over next few days. I’m so happy with the techs and doctors, we will definitely be going back.

Always super nice and pretty quick but more important they are actually animal people at heart not just vets and vet techs. I have three scary looking big babies and they always let me use a side door so there is no human confrontation or ugly interaction. They have been my vet through the life of my best friend right to the end have taken care of my 2 rescues and younger pup plus 3 litters over the past 6yrs. They keep my family healthy and at a great price. I don't know what I would have done many times without them in my corner.

We have gone to Value Vet twice now for 2 fairly emergent situations. Our most recent was earlier this week when we took our little girl who was struggling through labor. After an exam and X ray the vet recommended an immediate C section. We came home with mama and 2 babies and all 3 are doing beautifully. So thankful for the care they received; everyone was so kind and we are extremely grateful! We plan to switch to Value Vet for ongoing care going forward!

Affordable based on other vets in the area. Every person I have interacted with has been exceptionally nice and supportive. My cats have experienced love and care through each vet, and this is the first one in years able to give me answers on one of my cat’s conditions. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a new vet!
