How to Save Money at Four Seasons Veterinary Services

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.

Getting 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.

We lost our beloved doodle Cooper to cancer early in November 2023. The doctors and staff were wonderful and caring. About a week later, we received a condolence card, signed by the entire staff. Also, an ornament with his picture and the date. I highly recommend this practice for any pet needs.

I can't say enough about Dr. Bradford and her staff. They are always so compassionate, friendly and willing to go out of their way to make sure we understand what our girls are facing.... Our girls love going to the vet now that we switched. My Jordy had surgery today. She is home now ready for some good rest after a long day. Thank you Four Seasons Veterinary Services❣️

I switched Vets recently due to not getting clarity on my baby's condition. Just meds and constant appointments. They were great. She spent time explaining the what's and why's. I felt very comfortable and confident leaving there, knowing that I chose the right Vet office for my hairless 😸.

Called for a 1st puppy visit. I was referred by my son, who couldn't say enough good things about Four Seasons! They were so helpful when I called. Looking forward to meeting the staff.

We’ve been bringing our cats to Four Seasons for about 3 years. The first few experiences were great. The staff is so sweet with us and our babies, we enjoyed seeing Dr. McKenna, and the facility is well maintained and very pet friendly. The prices are on par or lower than other vets we’ve been too. But the reason I’ve decided to not give 5 stars is because of our last two experiences. Both my husband and I have taken our cats here in the last 6 months for different issues, one being blood in our male cats urine, the other for fur loss and excessive grooming on our female cat. When we took our female cat in we were told it was most likely a food sensitivity, stress, or a parasite but the latter was unlikely based on the cat’s background. We were prescribed some meds to take just incase and told to trial and error her diet, which ended up working, and although it seems we found our answer, the provider didn’t seem necessarily as invested in our baby as normal, we chalked it up to a busy day and returned when our male cat started going outside the box with blood in his urine. Knowing these symptoms are good indicators (especially in male cats) of serious urinary issues. We were able to get in very quick but we honestly felt like his diagnoses of “stress” was a diagnosis with a path of least resistance. Even with the symptoms there was no complete work up done on him. His bladder was too small for a urine sample but we weren’t asked to bring one back. There was no imaging or blood work done. We were given an antibiotic shot in the case it may have been a UTI and prescribed Prozac for stress. I had a gut feeling that there was more to it than that, as our cat hadn’t been showing symptoms of stress and had never done this before. I took him to another vet for a second opinion only to find out in 30 minutes with a few quick tests and an ultrasound that he had 3 urinary stones with crystals and debris present. He required day of surgery to prevent urinary blockage that could possibly have been fatal. With the symptoms he had and being a male cat I thought that these quick things would have been done to 100% rule out these serious conditions but they weren’t, they weren’t even offered as options- the only thing offered was a urine sample and it couldn’t be completed and then everything was brushed off as anxiety and stress. My husband said he felt the approach at this appointment was rushed and again lacked the care and concern we had experienced when we first started coming to four seasons. I’m unsure why some of these things were missed but it was a little disheartening and we will most likely be moving care to a provider that specializes and only sees feline patients since this will need diligent lifelong monitoring.
