How to Save Money at New Ulm Regional Veterinary Center
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.

Our local veterinarian wouldn't care for our pets in a humane way so we switched to NURVC approximately 16 years ago. Our pets love the veterinarians and all the very techs that work there. Always a calming atmosphere. Our large German Shepherd/ Lab Mix walked in to the clinic and immediately lost control of his bowels. We felt so bad and apologized and said we would clean it up - i began stopping up what i could when one of the workers came around the desk and told us it was okay and that she would clean it up. Amazing! The only good thing about it was we got a stool sample. 🙄☺️

I was very worried. My cat was extremely upset when I put her in the carrier. (Had the run of the house since she was a kitten). But the staff was gentle and soothing, really knew how to handle animals. Everything went smooth. Very good at what they do..

I've never seen angels until today. Two of them just carried my dog Into divine sanctuary. And healing.👼🏽 ****SO SORRY!!!! LOGAN IS FINE! :-) 🐕I always assume people will know what I'm talking about when I say weird things. I meant that; the two veterinary staffers who carried Him in to be weighed ,were angels. He was in very, very severe pain, and he didn't even wince a tiny bit the whole time they were carrying him. They had a very genuinely upbeat attitude about all of it. He is on the mend! You guys did a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Sincerely.

Vary friendly staff give options for payment care credit and some other place too. My dog was nervous but the vet and the technician were good about letting her getting to know them before they started her yearly exam.
