How to Save Money at PetWellClinic - Columbia
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.

Had an excellent experience here. I love that there’s finally an urgent care for pets. Sometimes it’s difficult to get the same day or a quick appointment for your fur baby with their primary veterinarian. First, I went to say that the staff here was extremely friendly! They worked very quickly and they were so sweet and kind to Bella and every other pet that came in after us. Second, the pricing structure is very straightforward and easy to understand. It’s not expensive for the exam fee. And even the medication wasn’t ridiculously expensive. I highly recommend PetWellClinic if you are looking for somewhere new to go or if you’re unable to get in with your primary vet quickly. Very clean bright open facility. It smells great in there! There’s plenty of free parking as well.

My cockapoo had an ear infection and he was going with us on vacation. I would not have been able to enjoy myself knowing he was wasn't feeling 100%. I tried to make an appointment with our normal vet but I could not afford the same day appointment fee plus the other cost that would have gotten tacked on . I looked up vets and low and behold i found PEt Well Clinic and they are a walk in only vet. We walked in at 4:40pm and walked out at 5:00pm with a thorough exam from Doctor Megan, medication and referral information for some other things. Doctor Megan and Tech had excellent bedside manner that was above and beyond not just for the patient but for his family as well. I would refer this place to a thousand times over!!

I decide to go to PetWell in Columbia based on reviews I read that are very positive. I was so happy with Dr. Megan and her staff that I decided to enroll both of my dogs for wellness plans. They were also great with my dogs, which is extremely important to me. I also like that you can get in line online before you drive over there. I highly recommend this clinic!

I took my dog Rocco to the Pet Well Clinic for the first time. It was very clean, very professional, and all of the staff were quite friendly. My Rocco doesn't warm up to everyone, but he was very calm with the staff and he even accepted a rub and hug from them. I have a long history of visiting vets in both California and Maryland and have had a variety of experiences. But this was the first time a vet ever asked me about Rocco's backstory (his life before the shelter where I got him from). I was happy to tell that story! Overall, great experience, and Rocco seemed good with it!

I was very pleased with my first visit! I arrived as a walk-in, registered using their computers, and only waited for one client ahead of me on a Wednesday evening near 5pm. Dr. Megan Levin and the vet tech were wonderful with my puppy and diagnosing her eye infection. Dr. Megan was great in explaining everything she would do. I was actually surprised the cost of the visit was lower than I thought it might be. The exam visit was $25 less than the more known vet hospital nearby. I will definitely use PetWellClinic again in the future!
