How to Save Money at Integrative 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.

I appreciate Dr. Matt’s knowledge and the very friendly, welcoming staff here. This is not like other vets I’ve been to and it makes a huge difference. Our first appointment was very in depth and I feel confident about putting my trust in them. I’m so glad to have found this place to help get my senior pup on track to a longer life. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you!

I can't thank Dr. Matt & his team enough for the care they provided over the years. We believe our dog had a much better quality of life with regular treatments he received. Dr. Matt is always open in discussing concerns or answering questions & his team is very helpful as well. We felt welcomed at each visit & appreciate the kindness & patience they showed us. Thank you!!

Dr. Matt and his staff are great. I had a very positive experience when I first visited. I own the EarthWise Pet in South Lyon and refer many of my customers to this office. I respect the fact that they lean very holistic like we do, and are on board with complete and balanced raw feeding.

The last several years my Golden Retriever Molly has been a patient of Dr.Matt, I can not say enough about the benefits of the care she received. After each treatment of acupuncture (which amazed me that he could get she to lay down and stay still) her energy improved. Chiropractic care was another win as we could see the difference in how she walked after treatment. Molly is now a 14 year old dog who is doing well I do not believe this would be true if not for the care she received. The office staff is outstanding, friendly and always kind to your pet.

I highly recommend Dr. Matt and his wonderful staff! Our wild Labrador kept throwing his back out and at times pinching nerves. Our regular vet found nothing wrong in the xrays and sent us home with pain killers....which worked somewhat but the core issue was still not addressed. That is when we saw Dr. Matt and he was able to clearly point out how out of wack our dogs back was. He is now getting adjustments and on a spinal protocol. We are so grateful for his services in our community! I have heard several good things from others who use him as well.
