How to Save Money at Urban Village Veterinary Care
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.

Dr. Fruit, Raven, and the ancillary staff were wonderful with my fearful rescue pup with handling issues. They went above and beyond to make her comfortable and reassure her. Dr. Fruit and Raven even got her to relax enough to get her nails trimmed! We are so happy to have found such a veterinarian clinic! Thank you Urban Village!

The staff at Urban Village have gone above and beyond for my cats. When one of my cats came down with a rare disease they were so incredibly caring helping get us in last minute for appointments, answering all my questions, giving advice, and most of all offering comfort. After my cat passed away they went above and beyond to check in on me and my other cat. I can not recommend this vet and staff enough! They truly have been such a blessing.

A caring and competent staff all around. I am so happy with the care my boys receive, and wouldn't ask for anything else. They are clean and it is easy to get in for an appointment. They treat your pet as their own and handle them gently. I am so glad they opened in Crescent Hill!

Urban Village Veterinary Care is the absolute best place to care for your pet. Their customer service is impeccable!!! From the moment you enter the door, you feel not only appreciated but truly welcome to allow them care for your pet. The technicians are knowledgeable, caring, informative, polite and kind. They not only made me feel warm and welcomed, my dog Cowboy sensed the same presence. The Veterinarian was very detailed and loving throughout the entire appointment. The entire experience will leave you feeling warm and respected. I promise you will feel the same experience as my dog and I felt when you leave. Thank you Urban Village Veterinary Care for making our experience such a phenomenal one! ~Cowboy

We have taken our dog & 2 (now 1) cats to them for several years & are very happy with the level of care, knowledge, professionalism, & price they offer. They have never pushed services unnecessarily & give options/cost up front. We have complete confidence in them. I recently had to have our cat euthanized. Dr. Fruit was respectful, empathetic, & gracious in the way she handled what is otherwise a traumatic ordeal. I’m very grateful to her & the staff for everything they do.
