How to Save Money at Nicks 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.

My partner and I are eternally grateful for Dr Nicks. She and her team helped us every step of the way through a very heartbreaking disease FIP, which caused the loss of our precious very first 5 month baby Molly who had to be put to rest so she could be at peace. 🖤 Thank you for everything. We will most definitely return when we are ready to welcome a new member of our little family.

I just got my dog Bailey and Dr. Nicks spent tons of time with me going over her new dog mom primer with me. Told me about everything from training to vaccines to taking a dog on an airplane to how parasites are spread, and she immediately knew what kind of mix my dog was when every other dog trainer and pet care professional had no idea, really went above and beyond! Can also tell that she is extremely experienced and all about animals! not many dr. Nicks types of people out there, but In the very best way! I also thought the pricing was very fair! And her staff was extremely gracious. Bailey and I felt “at home” so we will definitely be back! Also love that it’s a family business, not a large chain which so many are now! 10/10 would recommend!!!

We are very thankful for Dr. Nicks and her amazing team. The compassion and thoughtful care they have provided for our older dog has been beyond compare. His health has improved dramatically since we began seeing them. We now drive almost an hour to come see them, but the trip is well worth it. Highly recommend Nicks Veterinary Hospital.

I love Dr Nicks and the team at Nicks Vet. They have been my vet for 12+ years and have taken great care of both of my dogs. We lost our senior dog this year and they were compassionate and made a difficult experience as good as it could be. They go above and beyond.
