How to Save Money at Tri-County 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.

I had an emergency w/ my 3wk old kitten. Had called 3 other vets, it was almost as if they went out of their way to be as unhelpful as possible. I had already made an appt a couple days prior to the ER, so decided to call and pray to God that there was some sort of after hours...? No answer, I left a VM! 5 minutes later the vet calls! He (Brady) offered to meet me after hours at 10 pm to see my kitten and give her some antibiotics!!! There was another veterinarian there when we arrived and he (Scott) let us in bringing us straight to the exam room asking what was going on!!! A moment later the gentleman whom I spoke to on the phone arrived, they both decided to keep my kitten over night for observation. Both veterinarians and the office staff are amazing. These are a special group of ppl at this animal clinic, they are extremely caring, loving your pet almost as much as you do! Clearly they will go out of their way to help your pet. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! Thanks for everything you all did for Tommi! UPDATE: (3/2/2020) Once again this clinic is by far amazing!!! Tommi has been seen a couple times here, and is going back in a couple weeks to get spayed! I wouldn't trust anyone else with her!! Pricing is also very reasonable! You guys are stuck with us for life!!!! If there where thousands of stars this clinic would get every single one!!😻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our little female mini dachsund of approximately 13 years of age has been out of it since September. After several visits to her usual vet with no answers, leaving me frustrated and my poor fur baby in a bad state, I needed a second opinion and chose this vet. Dr. Josephson went above and beyond for our little girl! He took the time to really listen to me and my concerns about her. He explained things really well and made sure I understood what was going on. He was friendly, kind and caring. I know our little Vinnie is in the best hands. Thank you for helping her and putting my fiancé & me at ease! We really love her and want her feeling better.

Tri-County Vet has been my #1 place to go to. Very knowledgeable and always there for you! From getting cattle preg checked to our litter of pups being born, they always do an excellent job!! The compassion and care they provided when we had to put our dog down made the situation a little easier to handle knowing that they truly care.
