How to Save Money at Family 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.

I've actually used this clinic over several years for puppy vaccinations. Unfortunately this was my first time using them for a sick puppy. I'm not sure if they honestly thought my fur baby would be okay or if they just didn't want to tell me there was nothing they could do. Either way, I was very disappointed in the lack of compassion I received from two Michael's staff members. I originally brought my puppy in this week due to vomiting and loss of appetite. He was prescribed medicine and we were sent back home. Since he could not keep the medicine nor food down and showed no improvements throughout the night, I called back the next morning and spoke with the young lady at the front desk about my concerns. I even asked if I should bring him there or take him to the hospital instead. She nonchalantly told me to bring him in and they would see what they could do for him. My husband dropped him off around 10am. I left work around 4pm and realized I had not received any news so I called them for an update. I spoke with a younger guy over the phone who told me my puppy was fine, just laying around. I asked him did my puppy eat or show any signs of being hungry (this is day 4 without eating), he stated they did not try to feed him, but he wasn't vomiting so I could pick him up. At pick up, I was sent home with food, instructions on a different method to administer meds, and I was also told not worry so much if he doesn't eat. The following day, I noticed he still was not better but I refused to call the clinic so I took him to the animal hospital instead. While at AERC, I called Clinton Family Pet Clinic and asked if they tested him for parvo and they stated no because he was up-to-date on his vaccinations. Unfortunately while at AERC, I received the news about my puppy dying while I was on the phone with the younger male staff member at Clinton Family Pet Clinic. My exact words were, "Disregard, he just stopped breathing." The staff member's response was "Okay" and we got off the phone.... I will never return to this place. Not because my dog died, moreso due to the lack of compassion, information, and simply appearing as if they did not care.

Clinton Animal Hospital let one of my babies die over night & said they would check on her before we left & that she would be ok. They lied to us ! I know Dr. Ferris will never do anything like this because he told me they don’t keep Them over night!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
