How to Save Money at Longleaf Animal Hospital and Pet Boutique
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 have been a client for almost 6 years now since I relocated here from San Diego. I just cannot say enough good about Dr Barney and the staff. I came here with a senior kitty and she got the best of care even during COVID when she came weekly for ongoing care. When it was time to say goodbye I was treated with utmost kindness, support and love in the decisions that needed to be made. This vet and her staff gave me 5 more years with my beloved TRINA 🐈⬛🐾. Now they will do the same with my PUNKIN 🐈🐾 I have no doubt. If you really want great medical care for your pet and to not just be another number ....this is the place for you. They take the time to get to know you and your pet, address your concerns as a fur mom and treat your pet like one of their own. Not enough stars in the sky to give as a rating or my deep gratitude and appreciation! 💕💕💕

I found a kitten on the highway and it desperately needed vet care. My primary vet couldn’t get me an appointment until October. I have heard wonderful things about Longleaf, so I gave them a call. They were so wonderful. They were able to get me an appointment rather quickly. Didn’t try to send me to some other clinic, but instead did what they could to squeeze my kitty in need in. I was not waiting in the waiting area an unreasonable amount of time, like at other vet clinics. The staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable. The kitten was a little displeased, but I would definitely recommend and will be back!

Thanks to Longleaf and Dr Bud for seeing our dog Stacy on an emergency basis last Friday. We are from VA and are here for a short time. Stacy has now been diagnosed with a tumor on her liver. She was treated for the afternoon with iv medications and is home and on a treatment regimen that helps her feel better and will give us more time with her. We’ve lost other dogs of her breed to this cancer and think the care she received was outstanding, from the thorough physical exam and diagnostic X-rays and blood work to the clear and compassionate explanations to us about what is a very sad prognosis.
