How to Save Money at Indian Hills Animal Clinics: Hicks Sarah E DVM

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.

The Vetinary clinic is a well established facility; close to my home; the personnel are friendly, professional & quite knowledgeable ! I was able to get a minor emergency for my dog tended to within an hour of my call! I was so thankful; and he improved rapidly from limping on his little paw! His treatments seemed to help; he is back to being active, though he is supposed to be resting!!😁🙀

The friendliest and most helpful staff!! Truly couldn’t have had a more pleasant experience, given the circumstances. They took very good care of our cat, Ruby, and even called a couple days after he left just to check up on him! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Cutie was my childhood cat and therefore VERY old, Dr. Beetch was very good at calming my anxious mother and I and helping us know what was best to help her until it was her time. I'm very thankful to have had her then and have her now as a Doctor for my cats. She's very kind to my current baby Jasper, he has a great time going to visit Dr. Beetch (and opening the cabinets to try and find treats). Here's a picture of him being healthy and a clown

I took my spiny soft shell turtle Petrie in after he got sick. I called and they were beyond nice. They took the time to chat with me and relay info the the vet that was extremely busy that day. I had called other vets that just blew me off. It was so refreshing to have someone take the extra effort to insure my little guy was ok. I took him in the next day got a x-ray and was able to talk to the vet. She was great she listened to my concerns and acted like she actually cared. They just got themselves a new customer. I'll keep them busy with my 3turtles 2dogs and a crazy cat. Lol.
