How to Save Money at Aurochs 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.

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.

We have been bringing our pets to Aurochs for years and they have always been friendly and provided wonderful care for our pets! Most recently Dr Sara and her staff saw our cat who was attacked and wounded when she escaped to the outdoors! They saw Luna right away and gave her the best care! They were compassionate and texted me many times to check on Luna and had me send them pictures of her wounds so they could assess how they were healing! I believed they saved Luna’s life with their attention and awesome care of her and also their attention to us with instructions of how we would take care of her wounds, etc. too! Dr. Sara and her whole staff are amazing and we appreciate and thank you all!!!

Dr. Sara has been fantastic and I'm so glad she took us on as a new client. From routine exams to urgent calls, Dr. Sara and her staff have been able to see us quickly. Their prices are very reasonable and I leave appointments with answers to all of my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Sara and her team!

I've been bringing my pets here for years. The staff is very helpful. Dr.Sarah is awesome. She is very responsive. If my pets are sick or injured I can call, text and even send pictures so we can figure out what's going on and if they need to be seen Aurochs has always been good about getting them in ASAP. It's the only place I'll bring my pets.

Dr. Sara has been great. Have trusted Aurochs for last 9 years. Very responsive. My pup injured himself last night after hours and was able to get him seen right away this morning. Great dedication and care always. Thank you Dr. Sara and staff at Aurochs.

We have gone here for years and loved Dr. Lange. The newer vet and staff in the last few years are very unprofessional and rude. Instead of telling us what services would cost they ask how much we are willing to pay. They then charged us the top of that scale (of course) of what we said would be reasonable. The staff has told us what to do and what I need for my pets rather than asking me what I would like or advising us. They are very rude. We are taking our business elsewhere as we have finally had enough of this rudeness. They need to learn how to talk to people and how to treat people and run a business. I have never been treated like this by a vet service.
