How to Save Money at Animal Care Center of Tupelo
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.

Just Muttley's Doc, Spa, and home away from home. Never had an issue with anyone on staff. Besides, the only place Nala has been since she was a pup. My Road Dog.

I don't have enough good things to say about Dr Miller. My sweet kitty required a lot of medical attention at one point including two surgeries 5 days apart, and Dr Miller really helped ease our worry and it was so clear how much she cared about him. She is always made time to speak to us on the phone about any of our questions or concerns. I found one of the receptionists a little on the roadside once or twice, but I am not deducting a star for that just because of how amazing the rest of the staff is. Highly recommend!

Dr. Miller and her staff are incredibly professional, capable, compassionate, and helpful. I've taken my dog here for boarding and vet services for several years whenevern I spend extended time in Tupelo and they always provide stellar care with a smile on their face. My dog and I have been out of town for an extended period and came to the vet for a check-up last month. Dr. Miller's careful attention to detail caught an area of concern that turned out to be cancer in my beloved dog. Thanks to Dr. Miller and her team, it was thankfully caught early before it became a much bigger problem and my dog has been in treatment since immediately after. We owe Dr. Miller and her keen eye for catching it early, and thus I pray giving us better chances at treatment. Thanks Dr. Miller!

Dr. Clardy and her staff have always treated my wife and I like VIPs whenever we bring our dogs and cats to her. It is rare to have this level of service anymore. They were very kind and compassionate when one of our 4-legged family member had to be put down. I HIGHLY recommend this vet clinic. Also, Cats rule! :-) AAA+++

The staff was very sweet to my dog, she was spayed and kept overnight. They were upfront about the cost and they called me multiple times to give me updates on my girl while she was there and also a week and 2 weeks later! I really appreciated the excellent care they provided.
