How to Save Money at Bedford Veterinary Clinic

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.

Do not take your animals here! The Vet is a very angry person who is nasty with you the whole visit. I recently lost my Shih Tzu to a illness and the Vet was so disrespectful for what I was going through and very uncaring. I will never return to this business My adult daughter also changed Vets after she was nasty to her during a routine yearly visit. Very unprofessional

Everyone at Bedford Veterinary Clinic has been amazing with my 11 month old Dalmatian Marlie. Marlie has skin issues (allergies) to now diarrhea. It seams like it is one thing after another with her. Everyone at the Clinic has been amazing from Marlie's first vist to now even when she was spayed. They all have been great and friendly with us and loving on Marlie when she comes in f or a visit. So glad we called then when we got Marlie. Thankyou everyone for all your work. We do appreciate all of you.

We do not board our dog very often. Every time we have taken our dog somewhere to board she always comes home horse from barking the whole time. This time when I picked my dog up she was acting perfectly normal and was not horse from barking. I believe they took very good care of my dog. Also all of the veterinarians service we have used with this company has been top notch. I feel very comfortable going here and would recommend it to anyone
