How to Save Money at Pets Er - Elizabeth Drewer DVM
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.

Unfortunately, one of the worst nights of my life happened here. I brought my dog of almost 16 years in here to unexpectedly be put down after a major decline after his original vet was already closed. It was freezing outside and they took my suffering dog away from me in his bed and locked the doors and had me wait outside as I was sobbing. I was terrified I was going to lose my baby before they came and got me and did not want him to die alone. I had to knock on the door again and beg them to not let my dog die without me. We were met with zero compassion and I was not able to hold him as he passed away. Was told I had to sit on the floor with him while they administered the euthanizing agents. I worked in state prison as a nurse myself, and have never treated anyone with that lack of compassion.

This place is horrible. I’d say I wouldn’t bring my animal here but alas, I did and they locked me out of the building while my dog was actively dying. 0/10. Don’t recommend.

The staff was very helpful, though the wait was long due to other emergancy, life-threatening cases. They were very good at communicating when I left to keep me updated on my cats condition all weekend. I was pet sitting for friends who were leaving the country . They kept both the owners and myself in the loop. It was costly but worth every penny!

If you have ANY other option, take it. There is so much wrong with this place, it's hard to know where to start. I'm out $900 and my kitty is no better.
