How to Save Money at Weston Veterinary Clinic, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner
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.
Reviews from Google
After trying 4 different clinics in the area I Thankfully found Weston Vet Clinic. Everything about this Vet clinic is wonderful. Perfect customer service from the front staff, technicians are highly trained and knowledgeable and all of the doctors are simply amazing and attentive to all of my four cats individual needs. I primarily see Dr. Mackey but have also seen two other wonderful vets there. I drive 40 miles after moving but I don’t mind the drive because they are worth every mile. I am so thankful for this vet clinic, the good work that they do, and for the staff and doctors there. I HIGHLY recommend them.

I made the mistake of choosing this clinic for my pet. When my pet was healthy, it was fine for routine checkups etc. When my pet got sick (a simple infection) they showed unprofessionalism. I called about my pet not drinking and I was told I’d have to bring her in and someone would call me back. It did not happen. I called the next morning (Sat) and the receptionist started guessing as to why my pet was not drinking. Finally, I interrupted her and I asked her to have a vet call me back asap. No one ever called. Be very careful who you trust with your beloved pet because when they are dead as a result of who you chose, you will feel the guilt just like I do. Good reviews did not get the job done here!

Highly recommend Weston Vet Clinic if you’re looking for a place that truly cares about you and your pets! Our 3 cats have been seeing Dr. Mackie for almost a year now and I couldn’t be happier. She always sits down and lets the cats get used to her before examining them and it’s clear that she genuinely wants to provide as safe and comfortable of an experience to them as possible.

Weston Vet has been taking care of my dogs for as long as I've had them. Easy to schedule appointments, they have a pet portal that allows printing of vaccination records online, the staff works well as a team. Dr. Storey is my dogs' vet and I appreciate how thorough he is. I especially like how he does a verbal run through of everything he is checking as he is doing it, so I'm able to see what he's assessing. In instances where it was needed he will tell me the different courses of action and what he recommends. Weston Vet is a big pricier and further away than other vet clinics in my neighborhood but my dogs are in good hands and they are worth it.
