How to Save Money at Pet Emergency Clinic of Pitt County

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 16.5 year old min pin, Jackson, was in severe distress when we brought him in at 3:30am yesterday morning. He had been suffering from congestive heart failure for quite some time that was controlled by medication. Yesterday, he suddenly went downhill and was struggling to breathe. The doctor at the hospital did all of the necessary life saving measures and tests, but after several hours he was still struggling in spite of her efforts. This episode was the third time in the last year this happened, but the other episodes were quickly resolved and we were able to take him home and he was fine. I would also add that he was deaf and almost completely blind. After several hours of him still struggling to breathe, my wife and I made the agonizing decision to have him euthanized. We couldn’t bear to see him suffering and we knew that more episodes were in the future. Although this seemed like the right thing to do, I am still struggling with our decision. The final event was calm as we held him and the doctor and support staff were so kind and comforting. I can’t say enough about how they handled this situation for us and we are so thankful.

We came in for a snake bite of my puppy, who had to stay overnight. The doctor and staff were courteous, kind, and communicated clearly. They coordinated smoothly with the other practice where we got care initially. I'm so thankful for the with they do.

We showed up with our little girl at 10:30 at night and they were on top of things…the vet was very clear about her diagnosis and her care plan. We are broken hearted to find out she has CHF and may have less than 1 year with her, very confident that with the vets care and care plan she may prove that wrong!! Thank you for all you do and you’re very much appreciated.

You guys were the best in a bad situation. We've never been before and you treated us like family. You helped us to send Lucky over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully and with no pain. I can't thank y'all enough for being there for us. She was our baby even though she was probably 16 or 17 Yeats old. (Lucky was a rescue and we tried to make her life happy and filled with love.) Thank you again. You are all awesome!

Dr.Davis and her staff are fantastic! They took great care of our 15 year old kitty, before sending him to his regular doctor to continue to treat his urinary blockage. They explained everything they were going to do with him at every step. Then they explained every thing on the bill. I would highly recommend this clinic! Thank you so much for saving our Ciciboy!
