How to Save Money at Rowan Animal Clinic

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.

Had my first appointment today with my dog with cancer. Dr. Adam was beyond awesome. I’m emotional when it comes with my dog and he was extremely nice and trying to make me feel better. He seemed to actually care about my dog and that’s exactly what I was looking for. 10/10 experience. Thank you Dr. Adam!

The women at reception seemed drained. They were accommodating just not happy. Loved the women that helped me in the room. Very knowledgeable and not afraid to teach me what and why my dog needed certain services to be healthy. Thank you!

I am extremely happy I found Rowan Animal Clinic. The staff is attentive and patient to both my kittens and me. I'm very pleased with Dr. Lowe; his knowledge is solid, and he's very understanding and compassionate. He reminds me of our hometown vet when I was a kid. I highly recommend RAC!

New to the area, I brought in my 10 yo Golden Retriever to establish care and to discuss some health issues he has. The front office staff were very helpful and friendly, they made me feel welcome and made sure that they had everything, including his records, ready for his visit. The vet tech was very thorough with triaging Cooper, taking his vitals and history, and also very sweet. Both she, and the veterinarian, got down on the floor to conduct the examination very thoroughly. The vet answered all of my questions and concerns, spent more than my share of time with me and Cooper, getting to know his history, listening to me explaining his medical problems, conducting the exam, diagnosing him, and loving on him. All the staff were very professional but also showed their love for animals, giving him pets, cuddles, and interacting with him as if he was their own, and they received Cooper kisses in return. I was confident that my furbaby's health and wellbeing was of utmost importance to everyone at the clinic and we are very happy with the visit. Definately using this team for my dog's medical care. 10/10 would refer.
