How to Save Money at Madison Pet 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.

In the past 4 months, I've had to take my dog, Bear, To both Emergency vet clinics, Springfield and Arkansas. Once for a vestibular episode, And recently for bladder stones, And blood in the urine. I chose to switch to Madison, From the vet that had treated them from birth, Because they were able to get him in for follow up visits quickly, Rather than 3 weeks, BEST CHOICE I've ever made!! The entire staff is amazing, And I just love the way Dr. Julia Gaither treats Bear, She is so caring, And very thorough. My dogs are no less, Than like my children, And I want the best care for them, I feel I get that at Madison, And I fully trust them with their Healthcare needs. Now with all of that said, Bear also has a very large fatty tumor on his chest, That nobody else wanted to try and attempt a removal. On my first visit, Dr. Frank came in and examined the tumor, And spoke with me in great detail about the procedure, And that he's done probably over a thousand in his career. I do my due diligence, And I have spoke with many vets, And I can tell you that every single one of them has said, If you're pet needs surgery, Especially of this nature and magnitude, Dr. Frank is the one for the job, Again and again, They all said, If their pet needed surgery, Dr. Frank is who they would want doing it, I found that pretty impressive, He was every veterinarians first choice for a surgery like this, So we will be getting that done, After the other issues are resolved. I read reviews like everyone, And I see some that say, This person was rude, This person was short or seemed to not care, I can assure you, They care. We have to remember, They work in a medical field, Where their patients can't speak to them, And they have bad days just like all of us, We're all human. You never know when speaking to them, If they just had to give devastating news to someone 5 min. Prior, Or are struggling to get the desired outcome with a patient, Or a thousand other reasons, That may be causing a less than cheerful attitude at that moment, They get emotional like all of us, And it's because they do care. If I didn't believe that 100%, I wouldn't recommend them, But I absolutely trust my pets care with them, And I fully recommend them to care for yours as well. It's the medical field, Smiles and laughs, Can change in a matter of seconds, Just try to keep that in mind. From myself and Bear, Thank you for the wonderful care!

Extremely nice clinic! Both in the facilities and the employees! When my cat was having a problem, they spent a lot of time getting details about the situation and really tried to make sure my cat was comfortable. Everyone was very kind and informative. Will definitely be back!

The vet didn't measure my dogs legs, I believe that she has a leg longer than her other and I think that's why she limping. He did listen to her heart or touch her at all. I feel she needed a good check up and didn't get it. All I was told is she was to fat. She is half bulldog and half great pyrenees. She's not going to be a skinny dog. She's tall. She weighs 91 pounds, maybe she could lose 10 pounds but he said she needed to lose 20. That's to much for her. I felt it was a was6of my time there.

Absolutely incredible Vet Clinic. I had been going to another Clinic in town that was incredibly pricey and did not seem to care about the well being of the animal. Madison was able to squeeze me in, and do a check, get me the medicine I needed for my boy, and well under my budget what the other clinic wanted. Highly recommend this place, the staff is AMAZING!!!!!!
