How to Save Money at Marble 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.

I can't say enough about the staff and Dr. Gambill. Dr. Gambill has went above and beyond in caring for our little dog Daisy. Daisy has a complicated breathing issue that no one has been able to figure out. I was taking my animals (5 dogs & cat) to another vet prior to switching to Marble Veterinary Hospital and I wouldn't take them anywhere else. My prior vet told me to just watch Daisy it was probably nothing and not to worry meanwhile Daisy's respiration rate is double what is normal. Dr. Gambill has been treating seeing her for apprx. 6 or 7 months now and has not given up on helping her. We have taken Daisy to 2 veterinary Hospitals for further testing and still don't have a clear diagnosis throughout all this Dr. Gambill has coordinated and communicated with the specialist even sending her x-ray's out to radiologist for review prior to taking her to specialist. She has called me and discussed Daisy's care numerous times. During this time one of my other dogs ate a roll of dental floss and had to have emergency surgery in Blueridge over Thanksgiving weekend. I took him to Dr. Gambill to have his stitches removed and they were great with him also. Just a week ago we had an emergency with the cat got his paw stuck in something and was hurt my husband headed to Marble and I called on the way they fit him in and took care of Snowy. They call and follow up to check on how they are doing . We have only lived here full time for a little over 2 years this is the 4th vet I have been too and the last. They provide the care I was used too with my animals. If you are like us our pets are part of the family and are 4 legged children. When I say they are AWESOME I mean it. All the Staff are great, kind and compassionate. I don't usually write reviews but I chose Marble Veterinary Clinic because of the reviews I read and wanted to let other pet owners know this is a great place to take your pets. I feel truly Blessed to have found them.

I wanted to take a moment to recommend Dr, Gambill and the staff at Marble Veterinary hospital. The whole staff is knowledgeable and empathetic and I'm thankful that we have them in our community.

Love Dr G and the staff. Even though currently it's curb side care, the staff assured me Nebo was in caring hands. Dr G even came out to explain and see if I had and concerns about Nebo was amazing. Look forward to seeing them next year. Thanks Dr. G and Your Assistant's

They have a great vet great place their staff not so much! Unfortunately I was penalized because I wasn’t able to make an appointment along time ago but what the staff didn’t know it was at the time that I had to cancel that appointment I was having surgery for breast cancer and because we didn’t make that appointment they would not take us as a patient again but I understand the vet there is fabulous
