How to Save Money at Feline Wellness Center PLLC
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.

My little family of 4 have been patients at FWC for about 3 years now. Dr. Jen and her staff have helped us through senior pet loss, new kitten reception, injuries, and regular old coughs and colds and checkups. We really value the personal relationships and lack of corporate vibe. We feel that everyone we interact with is not only knowledgeable but also caring and sincere. We’ve referred two other cats to FWC and will continue to sing their praises and appreciate such a wonderful business is available to us in GR!

I have been going to Feline Wellness Center for a little over two years and have had nothing but positive experiences. It's evident that everyone who works there genuinely cares about your pet. Their team has always been available to answer any questions I've had over the years through phone calls and emails. My cat is VERY nervous around people, and Dr. Jen treats him with so much kindness and gentleness. She works very efficiently and is clearly an expert at her practice. She's also very kind to me and has been happy to answer the ample amount of questions I've asked her over the years. I also appreciate that Dr. Jen NEVER pushes services you don't need; It's evident that she sees you as a person and not just a customer. I am so grateful for FWC and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly (it feels like family over there). Dr Jen is knowledgeable and always puts pet health above profit and above anything else. When many others (including expensive emergency services) have failed, she has always been the one to save my pets. If anyone can find a solution or manageable treatment for a complicated or perplexing case, it’s her. She also has something that a lot of vets surprisingly lack: empathy and compassion for the actual animals she treats.

The best doctor. The best associates. And the bean brothers are the best cat welcoming committee. My cats are actually happy after a visit. Thank you so much for your love and care of all of these special felines. And for your kindness to their worried parents.

I first met Dr. Jen many years ago when she rescued some neighborhood cats, removed them from the mean streets, and put them up in the posh accommodations at Crash's Landing/Big Sid's. She became the primary care giver to my two favorite fellas, Westley and Dillinger, some years back and we wouldn't trade her for the world!! No one loves cats like Dr. Jen. Feel confident that you're getting THE BEST treatment in her care.
