How to Save Money at Vet - Veterinary 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.

Edit: Told wife before she came they could definitely “take care of everything there” only to get there and not be able to reset and pin a break, now we have to pay for ANOTHER consultation and visit. Don’t make guarantees when you can’t even pin a clean break. $310 for an X-ray on a cats front right arm/shoulder, where it should have been between $125-$220. $550 for a “pain patch”, X-ray, bandage and the visit without even attempting to make a repair and cast the bone instead of automatically saying surgery is needed.

Hands down the most smartest VET i have experienced. I switched to Lotus from Winterplace. No hate on Winterplace the staff is amazing. But the VETs not so much. One of my cat got out and apparently got attached by some animal (maybe a squirrel) he had 3 puncture wounds on his chest- Winterplace sucked me dry with each visit costing 6 to 7 hundred dollars this went on for a WHOLE YEAR. And all they ever did was inject him with antibiotics, He was also on antibiotics for a whole year and she kept flushing the wounds. I took him to DR. Mehari. 1st visit - he was like why did the other Doc not suggest surgery after all this time with the wound getting infected and coming back. He performed the surgery on 1st visit- i paid close to a 900 and my cat has been fine ever since. My cat is also the most aggressive cat ever (he has made us go to the ER from his bites/attacks- I still love him dearly). He will not let anyone touch him so every time i took him to the vet (winterplace) they had to sedate him. My 3rd visit for him because he got ringworm DR. Mehari was not comfortable sedating him again, his innovative idea to treat and diagnose ringworm was impressive. I am certain if this was any other vet i would be walking out with a 1000 bill. He saved me money, he saved my cat from having to get sedated again. I really do not understand the bad reviews but to each their own. But for me, I forever grateful that I found Dr Mehari.

My Senior cat had cancer and they diagnosed her and treated her for a simple eye infection. After her condition got worse I took her elsewhere and found she was ate up with tumors.(They had even charged me for an xray). I also once took my pet Bearded Dragon here once and the vet asked "what kind of lizard is this?" (I also took him to elsewhere). I know it's tough to find any vets in our area taking any new patients right now but it's truly in your babies best interest to look elsewhere for their care.

The doctor has misdiagnosed my dogs health issue for 6 months. Said he had a parasite in his eye and pretty much ignored his coughing just giving him an antibiotic. I finally took my dog to another vet only to find out it’s Not a parasite but an ulcer in the eye and the coughing is a collapsed trachea. I wasted 6 months listening to Lotus. Now my dog is blind in his eye and they may need to remove the eye!!! I may file a law suit. NEVER NEVER bring your pets there. The doctor is obviously denying this as he won’t take responsibility for his mistakes. Despicable. Karma will come his way

Horrible!!! Spent $250 on my dog. He is still experiencing the same issue 3 wks later. When I called to complain, and complain I did, I was greeted by the most unprofessional vet I have ever encountered. He tried to refer me to a specialist for skin issues for animals. Guess what he needed???? Anal gland expression!!! Something they advertise and specialize in!!! The Dr did not want to do it and when I confronted him, he hung up me!! Dr. Note owned this practice for so many years and this company has destroyed the goodwill and confidence that he gave his clients! TERRIBLE! ONLY WANTS MONEY!!
