How to Save Money at Countryside Veterinary 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.

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.

BEWARE NOT A GOOD VET!!! We went there for 3 years & Charley thought she was the best vet ever but when our kitty got a lump on her face I took her in & she said it was treatable but expensive Charley said fix her is it contagious? She(the vet) said yes very contagious, He said then put her down😢I cried as I held her in my arms until she was gone😢The vet gave me a note with the special word that was suppose to be what she had & Told me if I looked it up I would feel better about putting her down! That evening my youngest had to go to the library for school stuff on the computer, I got on one of the computers & typed in what the vet gave me to look up. I was reading about the sickness that came from rose bushes that our cat was suppose to have had & I was horrified the vet lied to me The condition Was not contagious at All!!! I Lost my favorite cat from her lies we never went back to her she is very Evil as far as I am concerned a total liar!!😢 I would Never want anyone else to lose a pet because of her lies!! BEWARE!!!

Countryside Vet Clinic is the very best at what they do! Staff is friendly and kind with the animals. They have helped me through making hard decisions with older animals and helped me welcome new ones into my life. I have taken my dogs there for 30 + years and have never had one bad experience. They are simply the best!

I have used Countryside fot the care of my cats since it opened many years ago. I have had numerous outside and inside cats over the years. I am very picky about my cats' care and have always been 100% satisfied with the care provided. They have always been caring and knowledgeable and helped me made the best decisions for my 'fur babies.' I am very happy to have access to such good care.

We've been using Countryside for a little over a year now, because we were referred by another very happy client. We have been completely satisfied in both our canine and feline care! On top of the staff being very friendly and caring, their facility is state of the art. An in-house lab makes getting results for your furry friend quick and inexpensive, and all the vets are extremely knowledgeable. Having an in-house grooming service is of course an added bonus too! We certainly recommend their services.

We travel from Wichita to have our pet groomed for obvious reasons, our groomer has been followed all over Kansas and now to Fairbury, NE! We also like the Doctors here, they are small town friendly with a savvy understanding of the clientele they see and are very competitively priced. Nice city park in southwest part of town, great trees!
