How to Save Money at All Pets Vet Hospital & Equine 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.
Reviews from Google
I've never been to this veterinarian but I felt the need to comment given a few of the reviews that are pretty negative. When an animal has histopathology performed the results normally take 10-14 days and in some cases 21 days. Most general practice vet clinics are NOT EMERGENCY or URGENT CARE equipped. While some can perform basic urgent issues, most cannot. Staffing, training, equipment are not adequate at a general practice. Your normal doctor that you see annually doesn't take emergency visits or urgent care visits, why do people constantly expect that of their vet clinics? When the pandemic hit, people got bored and bought lots of dogs and cats. This influx of pandemic animals has caused a severe deficiency in the ability to get everyone scheduled in a previously timely manner. Truth be told, there just aren't enough staff at clinics. This is due to low pay, over worked, underappreciated employees. This brings me to my next point. There is not a single vet clinic or hospital in it for the money. They don't make any money. The average technician makes roughly $17/hr in a general practice - and that's being optimistic. DVMs maybe average 90k annually. Factor in schooling costs for a vet - roughly $200k and for tech schooling - roughly $30k... Believe me when I say they most definitely aren't in it for the money. They don't make money from recommending food or prescription medications. There is little to no profit in animal medicine. I've been a vet tech for 8 years - graduated 70k in debt and my first tech job started at $15/hr. The final tech job I was at ended at $22. I left the field because of lack of pay and the complete lack of humanity most clients put on the vet staff. We understand that your animal means the world to you, we do. We do not try and blow you off or disregard the urgency you feel is necessary for your animal. Be kind to your vet staff - they are doing everything they possibly can to see the animals that need to be seen. Your wellness exam can wait. Schedule knowing it may be months until you can get in. If your cat is not urinating - that's an emergency. Your dog vomited once? Monitor. Your animal isn't able to keep anything down, water included? Emergency. Liquid diarrhea started? Schedule an appointment for 3-4 days past the onset of symptoms and be prepared to go to ER if it worsens (bloody, anorexia, lethargy, listlessness). Be kind to the staff and recognize that they are doing everything in their power to do what they can for everyone. There aren't enough hours in the day. The suicide rate in the veterinary community is ridiculously high. Please remember this the next time you're screaming at the receptionist because they can't get you in for a nail trim.

They took great care for our family despite our tough situation... Our cat Xena couldn't overcome her illness and they went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of after she past away... We felt like they actually cared about our feelings which meant a lot to us. Thank you all pets.

Can't recommend All Pets enough. For the last decade we've brought our pets to see Dr. Joel and he has treated us with great care. Aria, Copper, and Raleigh all go together, and the staff there is so patient with them, despite the fact they get each other all wound up. The cost for office visits is very reasonable, and they never "upsell" unnecessary shots or procedures. We LOVE All Pets!

They were able to get my dog in right away for an injured paw when his usual vet was booked out for weeks. I was nervous because it was a vet that we had never met or had never met our hyper dog. They gave me time to explain not only what was bothering my dog at the moment but they gave me time to tell them about my dogs personality. He's normally very hyper and hates his paws being touched, even in his sleep. They showed compassion for my dog and most of all, understood him. I will definitely be going back for any future items that my fur friend will need. He did have a broken toe which must be very painful, they were wonderful with him. Highly recommend this caring place!
