How to Save Money at Pierz 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.

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 garter snake collection was hit with some nasty respiratory infections, and I lost a few. One of my bigger girls, Chloe, presented with some concerning symptoms and I knew I had to have her seen quickly before it was too late. It's tough to find a good exotic vet, much less one on short notice. The other exotic vet we had seen was booked out pretty far, and I did not want to go to an emergency vet. I had heard great things about Pierz vet and knew they saw reptiles, so I thought I would try on the off chance they may be able to see her in the next few days. They were able to squeeze her in the same day, just a few hours after I called! I headed straight there, and all the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The vet was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and helped me figure out the source of the issue and how to (hopefully) prevent it going forward. Got some antibiotics and a dewormer. This was yesterday, and today she has already eaten and seems to be doing a bit better! This place is definitely worth the drive.

Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable staff. They saved my dogs life in a crisis utilizing improvisation when the medicine and treatment for the issue were not available in any surrounding states due to shortages at the time. Their pricing is fair, and they are good at handling all my dogs and cats no matter their individual temperment or personalities. They do their best to see clients even without an appointment when experiencing an emergency. I have had nothing but good experiences with them this far. I used to work in veterinary offices as an animal assistant and veterinary technician, and they are knowledgeable and organized, which is not seen in a veterinary practice as much as you would hope it to be.

The vets and techs were amazing with my dog, did all the tests to figure out that she had a UTI after she was very weak to the point she could barely stand up, and throwing up! She went in barely able to walk and came out happy as could be and wagging her tail!

Took my new cat here. Amazing people. Every staff member was great. They did a thorough and great job. Very affordable as well. $100 for a full examination, blood test pannel, and vaccinations. Would recommend.

Thank you for the continuous amazing care!! A special shout out to Erin, she always goes above and beyond for all the animals!
