How to Save Money at Tri County Veterinary 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.

We've lived in several towns / cities around Kansas and Tri County Vet Center has consistently been the best place we've taken our animals. They can see you quick, prices are very affordable for us, and the staff is very patient and friendly. I couldn't think of one bad thing about them. They take care of our pets like they were there own and I'm glad to have them in town. ♥️

Our little chiweenie had a sticker stuck up his nose. It was Saturday morning, they got him in asap and fixed our baby! The only vet we take our babies!

I'd give them 100 stars if I could. Dr. Megan made several house calls for us over the last couple years, two of which were after hours. She's always quick, knowledgeable and makes things easy for us. The receptionist is super great too. She remembers everyone and their pets and builds a great relationship with people. Also, they are VERY affordable. We have 2 miniature horses, a big senior horse and a couple of dogs, so it's expected that any of our visits, especially house calls, should be thru the roof. I don't think I've ever paid a bill that was over $250. They are worth every penny.

When I first started going to Tri County I absolutely loved them, I still do during office hours. I called for an emergency vet visit after my dog was ran over last weekend and I was told the doctor lived 20 minutes away. I knew my dog didn’t have 20 minutes and he died in the parking lot, doctor never arrived. The next day I called inquiring cremation service, I was told they wouldn’t do business with me due to the couple hundred dollars I had in collections with them although I had the full payment for cremation. To an extent I can understand the business rule on collections, but I found it a bit upsetting that they refused any cremation service for my pup although we waited and waited for the vet the previous evening and no one arrived. All in all, I think Dr Megan when available is an amazing doctor and I’m sure has touched the lives of many animals and families, I just don’t understand why an emergency call would be to someone living 20 minutes away…

My significant other and I loved it here. We took our cat in to ger her rabies shot and we where in, out and gone in no time. People there are real friendly and real professional. My car didn't even feel her shot that's how good they are. Prices are very reasonable too.
