How to Save Money at KC Cat 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.

Getting 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 have never been more satisfied with vet services. Not only is this staff completely competent, but they take care of the humans too! They've been communicative, patient, and considerate of my finances. And shout out to Dr Hodes for work EXTRA over-time and answering my calls when I'm panicking! Thank you so much to everyone at KC Cat Clinic. It is worth the wait to get in.

The clinicians here are so thoughtful, wonderful, and lovely. I brought my cat in for a check up after some health problems and she sadly ended up having cancer and passing away. The whole staff was by my side the entire time and tried their hardest to save her. They barely knew me or Stella for very long, but I can tell they all cared for her and my cat family very very much. I even got a letter from them recently with all their signatures expressing love and condolences. I recommend the staff here more than I think I possibly can. They truly care about cats and their families.

At KC Cat Clinic everything went without a hitch, and respected my cat’s space as much as possible during the exam. They also offered a lot of daily holistic supplements for my anxious cat. My cat that has been deemed “difficult” at other vets, mostly because they don’t know how to gently handle cats, which was stressful for everyone. Highly recommend KC Cat Clinic for all cat owners (especially the stressed kitties).

TL;DR: If you have a cat in the KC metro, you should absolutely go to KC Cat Clinic. I drive from the Independence area to go to them because they are *chef's kiss* wonderful! I'll start off by saying that I'm *extra* when it comes to my kittos, so I am always looking to find them the best care. I also work in the industry (now a remote role out of state so I can't take them to that clinic) so I have certain standards that I set in my mind to be met. KC Cat Clinic has taken SUCH good care of my boys! 1. The nurse, Stephen, has been an incredible part of my experience with the KC Cat Clinic team. I had a redirected aggression issue that turned our whole world upside down after they'd lived in harmony for 7 years. I put in so much work to get them back to "normal-ish" and it would have felt really isolating had it not been for Stephen's constant encouragement and support. He is truly a cat behavior expert!! I was probably the neediest human imaginable during that experience that spanned months, and he always wrote up such thoughtful responses to my questions and concerns that were full of grace and wildly intelligent behavioral advice. I credit him with my cats being able to finally come to a truce of sorts :) He's also SO sweet at their appointments and handles my boys so well. I wish more human nurses were like Stephen! 2. Dr. Gloor has taken such good thorough care of my boys medically. Appointments with her are a real pleasure because she listens and takes time to really speak with me as a client and cat mama to make sure I understand everything that's needed. She also treats my babies like they're the coolest things since sliced bread while we're there and it's just the sweetest thing! I have never questioned her judgement calls, and I feel like she keeps up on changes in the industry which is important to me. She really has inspired a good amount of trust from me and my fam after several appointments (both wellness and sick) and a dental procedure. All in all, the whole team has been great from our first ever visit with Holly and Dr. Wasmer to now. The front desk team is exceptional and treats you like family too -- Beth and Emily

KC Cat Clinic is an incredible place! They are thoughtful, kind, attentive, and never once make you feel like an inconvenience. One of my cats has bounced from vet to vet trying to figure out what exactly his deal is. Dr. Gloor (and everyone there) actually LISTENED to me and helped me figure out ways to make his life more comfortable. The whole staff went above and beyond when I truly thought I was going to lose the little guy at one point. They were so patient with me (I was traveling at the time) AND my pet sitter! He's like a brand new cat and I couldn't be more grateful! They're wonderful folks! 10/10!
