How to Save Money at PetVet Wellness Center
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.

I was trying to save money on shots. First time being there. I couldn’t go back with my dog, didn’t like that. It took waaaay longer than it should have, 1-1/2 hours and I was only one there. No chairs to sit on. Liked the followup vet way more than the lady vet. He explained everything in great detail. Probably won’t go back.

This Pet Vets is a real problem -- and I learned today from Tractor Supply's own employees that they are hearing feedback themselves to the same effect. To begin with, I checked the website today to see what time this week the clinic would be open (I've seen signs on their door in the past where they seem to change hours daily). The website indicated the clinic would be open Noon - 7 p.m. Wednesday and Friday. I came in with my dog about 1:45 p.m. for annual shots and a nail trim to find a sign on the door explaining the clinic would not be open until 3:15 p.m. that day and would only take clients until 6:30 p.m. I returned at 4:45 p.m. to join a line of about 8 people with their dogs waiting. While we waited, all of the dogs were very good. Mine loved on people who stopped to pet him and was sweet to all the dogs around him. When the Pet Vets employee approached us get checked in, she tried to sell me a package of shots that was far beyond what my dog needed. Last year one of my other dogs had a reaction to a "package" of vaccinations. He was sick for days afterward. Of course, many pet-vaccination clinics don't address issues like that; they refer you to your regular vet. My regular vet advised not to get a "package" of vaccines again, and indicated they are seeing more reports of reactions after these "package" vaccinations. Instead, my vet recommended that we space out multiple vaccinations to avoid a reaction. Today I asked for just rabies and Bordetella, and a nail trim. I also asked for a new prescription for heartworms. My dog had a heartworm test less than a year ago, and in my state dogs can go two years without having a heartworm test to get a prescription. Pet Vets sent an employee out tell me that they would not provide another prescription unless I got a new heartworm test (that would mean two tests in one year). I told the woman to take that off the list, I could get that from my own vet by sharing my dog's records. The employee turned around and walked away, leaving me with the impression she was unhappy with my answer. After waiting almost two hours in line, they finally called my dog's name and I handed him off to the woman who tried to sell me the vaccination package earlier. I sat on a bag of feed just outside the exam room glass door and watched the Pet Vet employees with my dog. They stood around talking while my dog paced back and forth, and then he moved over to the glass door and paced back and forth. Seconds later, the Pet Vets "sales woman" brought my dog back out and claimed that my dog tried to lunge at the vet. I had eyes on my dog the whole time, and I never saw him lunge at any one. But I did see the employees standing around talking, completely ignoring my dog while he paced back and forth. The sales woman said they could not treat him and I would need to take him somewhere else. This was not an issue with my dog. This was an issue of a per-client sales quota that they wanted to meet, and encountering a client who is informed. I know vet appoints are really hard to get right now, and many people are using the word "bilk" when talking about vet costs - but we all deserve better than this Pet Vets location and staff.
