How to Save Money at GoodVets Plaza Midwood
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.

As an emergency vet nurse, I have a high standard of medicine and high expectations for my personal pets. My youngest dog has a lot of chronic health conditions and anxiety but Dr. Higgins, Caiti, and Amber treated her as if she was their own. I wouldn’t trust anyone else in the area with her general practice medical needs. Truly a beautiful and compassionate staff.

I cannot express enough how wonderful the team at this establishment is. As a crazy dog parent, there's no one else I'd entrust with my three huskies. Dr. Higgins has been caring for my oldest since he was 4, and my younger ones since they were pups. I followed her to this location because of the exceptional care she provides. The level of expertise, professionalism, and compassion exhibited by everyone here surpasses my highest expectations. If you're seeking top-notch care for your pet, GoodVets Plaza is unmatched. Truly would follow them all anywhere.

Aw my pups (and I) felt ALL the love. Staff was great. The doctor was really nice. I think we made a great decision by coming in for biannual exam. My dogs were both at ease and had wagging tails throughout our visit! Way better than Banfield but leaps and bounds!

Best vet in Charlotte! After visiting 4 different vet clinics, GoodVets has the most transparent, reasonable pricing & overall just the best service. Some vets try to "sell" you, whereas GoodVets simply cares for your pet and fixes the health issue in a precise way. Amazing team over there & I've switched to them for all future care for my dog.

I had to bring my little terrier Shrimpy in last minute for an urgent express treatment and the experience was amazing. Check-in was warm and welcoming, the lobby is spotless and cute and Austin who took care of my Shrimp was absolutely amazing. So kind and welcoming and my lil guy was relaxed with her right away. We live in Midwood and will definitely be coming back with our 2 pups for future vet needs. Amazing customer service - Austin is the best, immediately put us both at ease. Delighted to have them in the area!
