How to Save Money at Vine Veterinary 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.

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.

We struggled to find the vet for urgent care for our 3 yo cat. The reservation went smoothly with the receptionist Shar. She is very helpful and nice. We brought our limping cat for an x-rays appointment. Shockingly the price is reasonable (compared to another vet in the Chapel Hill area) and Oscar received the best treatment ever! The hospital called and informed Oscar had to go through another X-Ray, the hospital only charged us for anesthesia $34. We loved and appreciate how the vet (a young male) explained to us the detail about Oscar and the best action we could take because our cat has a major fracture in the left humorous. We wish the team the very best and thank you for the gentle treatment of our cat.

Dr. Will Beeson is truly one of a kind. A very trustworthy, compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable person. We followed Dr. Will Beeson to this clinic and drive 40+ minutes simply because there is no one else I trust more with our pups. The care he provides is absolutely incomparable. He will not just run tests to "check a box". He is very honest and will talk you through each of his thoughts and the steps that helped him reach his diagnosis. He treats us like family and we are so grateful to know him! The whole staff from front to back is very friendly and kind. Thank you, Vine Veterinary, for loving and caring for our pups!

I wish I could give 10 stars… Dr. Beeson has helped us tremendously by efficiently diagnosing complicated problems in our cat and dog and helping us come up with a plan. He also made time to help us during an emergency. Everything at this practice has been very reasonably priced, I don’t ever feel anything unnecessary is being done- only what is best and necessary for our pets- and I’m very impressed with the quality of care and skill! We switched from another local vet and I am so happy we did.

We have been taking our golden to Vine Vet since he was a puppy, and have never had a bad experience. The staff are always well-knowledged and helpful. Today, he had cryptorchid surgery and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Dr. Beeson and has team kept me updated and took great care of him. The staff were also super helpful during a transactional issue and fixed it for me right away. I highly recommend Vine Vet!
