How to Save Money at Family Pet Clinic

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.

Dr. V is the best Veterinarian I have ever had. I have trusted all my pets lives with him. Sometimes when you thought there was nothing more that could be done with with the furrbaby, he always researched and found something to keep them going with still a great quality of life. I have known this great man/Vet since he took over from Dr. Levy and I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere but to him!

Staff here is absolutely amazing. I had to have 2 dogs in the last 10 years that had to be put to sleep. And they treat you with such care and understanding. They make the whole experience very professional and sympathetic to you . If you are in need of a veterinary,this Doctor is the way to go.

I always take the animals that nobody else wants which means there are many health issues. Doctor Valenti at Family Pet Clinic is absolutely amazing. Because of his expertise and giving my animals the time and help that they needed reached adulthood. I'm not sure that I would have been able to find that kind of care anywhere else.

I've been a loyal customer of Dr. Valenti and staff at Family Pet Clinic since 1999. I truly appreciate the outstanding veterinarian care Family Pet Clinic provided to my last two dogs, Chloe and before that Muffin over the past 23 years. While I have at least 5 pet clinics closer to where I live, you cannot beat the quality and personalized care that Dr. Valenti and his team provide to pet owners. I willingly travel the extra miles to take advantage of the finest pet care one could find. Dr. Valenti and veterinarian nurse Heather are so very caring, compassionate folks that know you and your dog on a personalized level. More importantly, they are in tune with your pet's care needs and do not over-prescribe treatments. The office staff, including Diane are very personable and again, know you and your pet. Finally, the prices they charge for service are very competitive to any clinic. Our dogs truly lived better, healthier lives with the help of Family Pet Clinic. Kudos to these folks!

I accompanied a friend to have her very ill dog euthanized. Dr Valenti met us after hours and was very compassionate, making the dog comfortable. The dog was with his family until the end.
