How to Save Money at Advanced Animal 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.

My experience was great! Everyone was very friendly and very helpful! Best of all they took great care of my boy Prince when he was sick and needed antibiotics to make him feel better! The price I wish had been a little more affordable. But my fur-baby was taken care of immediately and now healing and doing better! I can't say thankyou enough to all the staff and vet! Sincerely, Vanessa Sturgill Breeder/Owner of Snowy River Golden Retrievers

My sweet boy needed an emergency surgery and everyone here was incredibly kind and welcoming. As a pandemic puppy, he didn't have a chance to socialize so he was very mustrustful of the staff but they were so patient with him and eventually he warmed up to them. Definitely loved the atmosphere and the staff ❤️ 10/10

I was very thankful to have somewhere to bring Hope in when our vet was closed on the weekend. I was a bit nervous about taking her somewhere new but... you guys were great. You took her in right away...there was no waiting...you were very up front about the cost of everything she needed to have done and allowed us to spend all the time we wanted with her. You made a very scary experience with our little furry family member a little less stressful and I appreciate that so much. Thank you for all you do!

Had to reach an emergency vet and live quite a distances away and on a Sunday. Very courteous folk and open when you need them. In the end, we had to put our dog down, but they were sensitive and caring, and provide a private room to say goodbye. Have cremation service available. Very clean and modern facilities.
