How to Save Money at Veterinary Surgical Referral Practice

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.

They took amazing care of my boy from start to finish. They were amazingly helpful with aftercare and Dr. Clark even called to ask how things were going. They are honest, fairly priced, and do everything they can to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet. All times I went were during covid, so I do not know how clean the inside is however there was no infection after my dog’s hip surgery and he came out smelling like a sterile hospital, so I believe it is safe to say they are very clean. Callie was the receptionist that I always spoke to and she was wonderful as well. That whole staff really just made the entire 8-week process a breeze and I am forever grateful. Thank you!

They are literally saviors. We live in east TN but drove to Cary to have surgery on our dog mudges leg. Unfortunately the diagnosis was not what we wanted. Our dog ended up having cancer. The assistant came in and was so supportive of our boy and going through the comfort measures of making sure he was comfy. We decided to go ahead with the surgery to remove his back leg to enhance his comfort. The assistant even gave us tips on having a tripod dog since she had one. That was last October. Since then our dog has gone downhill and he’s in the last month of his life. They have still kept in touch with us and asked how he is doing and what they can do for us. Such a great team and such an amazing office. Update our dog has passed but the vet office sent us a card with everyone that helped us and signed it personally.

Quartet is the first place I would take my pet for a serious emergency issue. The staff is kind, well qualified, and accommodating. My 8 month old kitten received the best possible service for a midnight emergency and the fee was extremely reasonable. I recommend you trust them with your next urgent visit!

Dr. Shultz and Dr. Gallagher we’re amazing at caring for our Dachshund Levi! He needed surgery for a disc that herniated in his back from IVDD. From start to finish they treated him promptly and ensured we were doing everything we could for him and encouraged us to recover at home once he was ready. They are the most affordable emergency vet care around and we traveled from out of town to be there! I will forever be thankful for the care they have given Levi and our family during such a emotional time. They gave us 80-90% odds Levi would walk again and for that, that is something I don’t think we could ever repay!🎉❤️

Quartet offers excellent communication and service dedicated to your pet's comfort and health. The staff was very polite and thorough, even in the middle of the night. I'm sure emergency vet services are not easy jobs, and this staff seemed top notch. Glad to have Quartet close by, gives me peace of mind. Cowboy doesn’t love medical facilities, but he seemed happy (and well cared for) coming out.
