How to Save Money at Prospect Animal 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.

I am very happy with today’s visit with Dr. Wiggins and his staff. I figured since I wasn’t an established customer and I am moving out of state, it wouldn’t be worth their while to “win me over.” I came in for exams and pet health certificates for my dogs, and left regretting that I haven’t found this establishment sooner. Dr. Wiggins was very patient and the exam did not feel rushed. His assistants were very friendly and kind as well. I highly recommend his clinic if you are looking for a more personable experience. Thank you for the great service today!

Everyone at the prospect animal clinic always goes Out of their way to ensure my pups were taken care of. They’ve stayed late multiple times just to take care of my fur babies. I appreciate everything they do.

I just took my dogs to their first visit at Prospect Animal Clinic, and I’m so glad I found them. Dr Wiggins was incredibly patient, kind, and friendly, and took the time to explain things very clearly. I scheduled the appointment over the phone with his wife, and she was also very kind, and went out of her way to accommodate my schedule. The office has a “small town doctor” feel to it, where they actually care, and you and your pet more than a file. Price was also very reasonable. I highly recommend!!

Absolutely wonderful. You get an appointment and when you arrive you call to announce your appearance in front of the office. One of the staff comes out and gets your pet, brings them into the facility. My dog is comfortable with them. When the visit is over, your animal is brought out and Dr. Wiggins comes out, wearing a mask and gives you medication, instructions, etc. I will return, for sure.

I can go on for hours about how amazing this vet clinic was to my puppy and I while visiting Kentucky for an unfortunate family emergency. I was so stressed out bringing my new puppy on a long car ride, had to cancel her vet appointment at our normal vet in Florida, and was anxiously hoping to find someone we could trust as much for my puppy’s first vet appointment since I’ve owned her. Dr. Wiggins and his team surpassed every expectation, they were so kind, got me in days earlier than my original appointment, answered all of my questions about my new little girl, and informed me of a bacterial infection on her belly. The next day, I noticed before her appointment she was struggling to pee and was urinating more often, but gave it another day to see if it was possibly a UTI. I called and they immediately let me bring in some of her urine and got results back of a UTI, medication, and probiotics to fully take care of my pup. Every call and worry I had, they were so kind and the doctor spoke with me personally in person and over the phone every single time which I appreciate so much. As if all of this they had not seen enough of me, three days later I am at a family visitation when I get word from the family member watching my two dogs that my older dog hit the puppy in the corner of her eye with her nail, it’s 5:35pm when the vet was supposed to be closed for 5 minutes already, and Dr. Wiggins answered my call at the office and would have stayed late to see my puppy if he thought it was that urgent that night. We both agreed that she was ok to wait until morning, and their sweet and amazing office allowed me to drop my puppy off the next morning while I attended my grandmothers funeral. The nurse even gave me text and picture updates to show me my sweet girl was fine and just playing! I had the hardest two weeks of my life, and always want my dogs to be safe, this office was so extraordinary I cannot give them enough compliments after my experience there! I will be telling all of my family and friends in Louisville/Prospect to trust their care! Thank you all once again for your fantastic work and helping me through all the chaos of having a young puppy!
