How to Save Money at Mc Kenna's Veterinary Services
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.

Will never go anywhere else! Everyone in the office is very nice & the prices are fair. Dr. McKenna is outstanding and always takes his time with our Great Dane.

Dr. McKenna and his staff have always gone above and beyond for my animals. Recently, one of my 7 month old kittens got sick & stopped eating but Dr. McKenna working off site. Still, he directed the staff to run tests and forward him the results. Within a couple hours she had a diagnosis and a start on treatment. Given the severity of the illness, she likely would have died over the weekend. Now she’s back to being a loving, curious kitten. Thank you from Lilith (and Opal)!

We've been using McKenna Veterinary Services for approximately 20 years. The gals out front are always cheerful and helpful. Dr. McKenna always has a smile and is thorough looking over our pets and asking questions about how they're doing. We will continue to taking our pets there and we would recommend him to anyone.

We are so grateful for Dr. McKenna + his team! They treated us so well even as new clients + took such good care of our dog. We left a vet five minutes from our house to come to Dr. McKenna’s office 30 minutes away and it was an easy decision to make :) Thank you so much for the wonderful service!
