How to Save Money at Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Cary

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 took my senior cat in for a check up and updated vaccinations. Upon entering the staff were very welcoming and made Belle feel right at home. They were very helpful and explained options for Belle’s continued care with great detail, breaking down the prices and what each treatment would involve. She even came home with a churu, which she loved. Belle came home and wasn’t stressed, which is a new experience for her on vet days - she went right to sleep on my desk. I would highly recommend Petfolk! 10/10!

Just had our first visit to Petfolk for vaccinations and I have to say we were really impressed. From the moment we walked in, they greeted Brody by name, which made us feel like they were truly ready for him. The whole onboarding process was smooth and the team was so transparent and welcoming. It was such a great experience and I really appreciate the care they put into everything. I highly recommend Petfolk!

So happy I was about to find a vet willing to see my pet on the weekend after she hurt herself. The staff saw my husband carrying my dog in and immediately sat us in a room and put down a blanket for her to lay on. They calmed my nerves and explained everything. I really appreciated that they went over the cost so we were aware prior to doing any of the treatments/exam. They did not push sales and that made a huge impact on me, since most vet offices nowadays do. They were amazing!

Excellent service! My dog is towards the end of her life with a plethora of health issues over the past few years. I have never left a vet feeling so relieved and informed about my pet’s care. Thank you to the all the amazing, friendly, and caring staff we encountered during our visit — especially the assistant and doctor. The app and ease of scheduling is also a HUGE plus!

Dr Snyder and Anna were both amazing. My Bella is older and has anxiety, especially with meeting or interacting with new people. They were kind, patient, and very careful with her. The facility is very clean and the process from start to finish was very efficient. I recommend and will be going back for future services. Thank you Dr Snyder and Anna!
