How to Save Money at Town N Country Animal Hospital

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 love this practice. The staff here are knowledgeable and care so much for the animals. When my kitten, Pippi, came in extremely sick Dr. Horne, Samantha, and Amanda did everything they could to help her. They helped with medicine and emotional support. My sweet baby wouldn't still be around without them. Ana at the front desk was so kind and checked up on Pippi, too. They go above and beyond and spend time to talk you through everything. I highly recommend them. They treat the animals as if they were their own fur babies.

A time or 2 Missy or Max needed to be seen & they got them in & we really appreciated that! They really seem to care about our precious babies! Missy is no long with us but we still have Max & recently got Ellie! We needed to make sure Ellie was ok, we weren't sure every thing was done before we got her! She is now free of fleas & worms!

Our Shorty was very sick and would not have made it through the night without the care of Dr. King and staff. Dr. King and her staff are always kind and helpful and knowledgeable. The care our pets are given at Town and Country can’t be best!

So I’ve been taking my animals here for about 9+ years. My oldest dog was in recently to have her foot looked at, I dropped her off at 7:30am. Vet called me around 1 to discuss treatment options. I asked when I could pick her back up and Vet said someone would call me….NO ONE EVER DID. So at 515 I left work in Greensboro and raced to the office to pick her up. Once I get there they don’t have all the meds ready I had discussed with vet earlier. So I agree to send a friend to get the meds the next day. So they then go get my dog, with the wrong leash on. So they go back and leave me holding my dog. Well obviously no one had let her out for hours because she then urinates in the floor, so I rush her outside to finish and it’s obvious her bladder was FULL. So I leave and the next morning around 10 the office calls to ask if I want the full prescription filled or part of it and call the rest into Chewy like last time. I agree and they said they’ll call me when it’s ready. Well at 5:30 I realize they never called me back to let me know, I was busy ar work. So I call the office back and let them know. And while on the phone I let them know I wasn’t happy that for 2 days in a row I was told they would call me and never did. So I then ask if a manager could call me. I was told they weren’t there now and it would have to be the next day. That was 2 weeks ago and NO ONE EVER called and the prescription to Chewy never got called in. I work in healthcare and patient care. If I told my patient multiple times I’d call and didn’t, my boss would be VERY unhappy with me. I’m at the point of finding a new vet for my 2 dogs. I understand being short staffed, but office was for over a year but we didn’t let patient care slack. I’m upset and disappointed, I’ve tried to be nice and understanding and I’ve let other things go and not said anything. But this is RIDICULOUS!!!!
