How to Save Money at Mixed Pet 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.

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.

Very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind Doctor, Dominique, and front desk staff was a true pleasure to meet. Our little Khloe, and our other two pups will be going to see them from now on! Our pups are our fur babies and we only want the best for them!

This place started going downhill in the past year or so. Quite after Dr Keb left. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable. After she left I haven’t had a set Vet for my dog.. but the absolute worst experience was to deal with Dr Robyn McFerren. The worst “doctor” I’ve ever met. After essentially telling me to drug my dog or else they would essentially not be my dogs vet, they proceeded to charge a ridiculous fee for holding my dog down for a vaccine. Their cashiers are rude, entitled. I’m willing to drive miles away for better care and customer service. It’s clear that these doctors only care about money and not about the care and wellbeing of animals.

Mixed Pet has been my veterinarian for nearly 20 years. They know my pets and they know my family. They have always found a way to answer any question and squeeze me in when needed. They are flexible in their approach and always have provided me with options and quality care

We love Mixed Pet Veterinary Hospital. It’s bit pricey and we travel a distance but we love all of the staff. Muffin is treated like he’s their own! That matters and we love that!! Mixed Pet Veterinary is worth the sacrifice for our little Muffin!!!! ❤️ Oh!! and I can talk to Dr. Schoolmeester all day. He so reminds me of Richard Dreyfuss 🤣 (in a good way).

I haven’t been a customer here, but my grandmother has. After being a loyal customer since they first opened, it’s now become clear that the vet here doesn’t care about her dog- just her money. After trying to treat multiple issues her dog had, the vet apparently decided to”it’s just time to put her down”. Yes, her dog is older, but she still has plenty of life-she’s just in pain and needs help. But no, since trying the same medications multiple times doesn’t work, the only logical route of action is to put down the dog. Apparently this was the last straw (despite us trying to convince her to go somewhere else for years). We were finally able to take her to get a second opinion that same day, and that other veterinarian told us this was completely wrong and she just needs to be treated. So glad we found a vet who is focused on the well-being of the dog and not the wallet of the owner. Do NOT go here!
